Why is this listed as a battle pet, since it can't do battle? It is just another toy ballon.

Still drops from game prizes! I've opened a lottt of game prizes so I'm not sure what the odds are, but it's still possible.

It doesn't even get added for me when I use the Import function.

For some reason, after using the new import function, this pet is considered grey quality in my collection? Bug?

This one does not count toward collector pet achievements. Even if you have more than one, none will be considered for the 25, 50 75, 150 250 or 400 pets achievements. However, will be registered on your pet journal as "collected", from where you can summon it anytime, but will not be included in your wow character profile, where simply does not exists. If you check your collected/not collected profile section, there's no entry for this one, so technically speaking, does not exists, at least, not for the records.

Just bought this balloon tonight, I saved it for last since this wasn't my favorite. Its also worth noting they changed the icon for this pet.

I'm having a similar issue as Gorman, every time I do a armory import it leaves out the Darkmoon Balloon for some reason and I have to manually add it.

The DMF icon is rather eerie, and IMO, hints at something more sinister about the Faire(along with a line of dialogue at one of the quest givers and the general "feel" of the place). So naturally, as a lock, I had to get this one first.

This isn't showing up in the "collected" section of the armory for me, even though it has disappeared from the "not collected" section.
