The questline for this pet was one of my favorite WoW experiences of all time, and the Oracle is a top-tier character model. I keep little Jaleet with me at all times as my companion pet.

But god almighty, does he suck at combat. Backflip is too slow to ever work, Dreadful Breath locks you in for 3 rounds, Sticky Goo is a weak root your opponent will not mind. Aged Yolk is mildly useful in PvP. You're left with a pet whose best abilities are two Slot 1 basic attacks.

5/5 Appearance, 1/5 Battle :(

@Illumnati : The journal limit of 3 is not a mistake, it's just a very odd case. You are correct that you can no longer add any more to your journal once you have the curious oracle hatchling and curious wolvar hatchling, but people who already had more than one of either before the pet journal consolidation at the launch of Mists were allowed to keep them and can use more than one on a pet battle team.

Any subsequent completions of the questline either with the same character on a following year or a different character during the same year has a different reward. You can only have one Curious Oracle Hatchling and one Curious Wolvar Pup in your pet journal ... unless you already had more than one prior to the launch of Mists of Panderia. Also to note is that once you add the pet to your journal, there is currently no way to remove it. [Update: Thank you @Flibbit]

Adding my vote up for this adorable little guy.

One tiny P.S. I'm not sure what about a bug diet gives him such bad breath but, just turn him loose on dragonkin, he wilts them like nothing I've ever seen.

As much as I love this companion, and he's part of my main team, Fridge Horror sets in when I realize I'm essentially training my adopted son to be a street brawler.

One word of caution: Aged Yolk used against Apocolypse is instant death for those cute little guy; apparently a lesson I need to learn repeatedly.

When I found out I could get an Oracle Hatchling I was thrilled! I was in a guild called Order of the Murloc at the time and while I couldn't have Lurky or Murky, I could have a murloc relative a Gorloc. The guild eventually disbanded but my Oracle Hatching remained and it reminds me of the Mrlgahalagahraga's we'd type as hello's and makes me smile.

This is such a cute little guy! All of the oracles speak like little children and it's so cute. So glad I got him from Children's week this year.

This is one of my favorite pets because of this one video. It's the story of an oracle orphan left abandoned on the doorstep of the Lich King himself. Both hysterically funny and poignant - truly well done. "Can I call you Uncle Lich?" "Kewl! I wanna be a Lich King too!" I call mine Carmen just like he did. Oh, and I call him Uncle Lich now too.

As of Children's Week 2011, the NR quests are working again, so if you picked the wolvar the first go round, now you'll be able to get this one.

the Northrend Childrens Week needs a 3rd pet, maybe a Tuskarr Child? with those Seaweed Warriors going around killing the Tuskarrs, there should be quite a large amount of orphans by now.

I like this pet solely because I like the Gorlocs. They're my top favorite WoW race for a number of reasons, though their overall likability and personable attitudes are the main reason. Of course, this also means that my least favorite WoW race are the Wolvar, especially the blasphemous Frenzyheart Tribe. The Oracles just want to be left alone, you jerks! Stop attacking their patrols and destroying their altars!

Stupid puppy-men...

My big mystery about him, is the question of how he came to be in my postbox. The post was send by him to me. Did he manage to sneak into the parcel? If so he is in for a surprise next year when his Wolvar nemesis should arrive in a similar box.

In the mean time he start taking lessons from the Squire on how to properly carry pennants. If he is good I might let him ride a pony.

And finally someone to take care of all those Aged Egg Yolks.
