Patch 8.3.0 | Posted: January 14, 2020
Anomalus is a drop from the corrupted chest that is rewarded at the end of a Horrific Vision. Players must defeat Thrall or Alleria (main objective) to earn the chest that has a chance to drop this pet.

This ooze leaves behind a slimy trail as it moves that has a stench that would rival a beast rotting in the dunes of Uldum for a thousand years.
Good way to get the magic battler achievement during pet week. Have very low HP, and easily countered by a dragon team, sunlight, darkness, or a good player but that excludes 99% of the ppl during pet week who will mostly encounter this little guy then rage.
This cute little red blob is just unstoppable. Really disgusting.
Qiraji Guardling is a solid counter to this pet. It's faster, has a stun, has a sandstorm to counter aoe. Another reliable counter is Scalded Basilisk Hatchling with its stun and good damage.
Anyone come up with a general use PVP team or even a specific one that can beat a team with two or three consistently (without putting up the same team and relying on RNG)?
This unfortunately needs to be nerfed - either: 1.) make it Unique so that people can have only one or 2.) seriously nerf the stats and/or rearrange its abilities.
The PvP meta right now is running 3x of these, nothing can stop them. I ran 3 really good dragons against this combo (chose traits for extra damage versus Magic), managed to kill 2 of them.
Ditto for running 3x Mechs (to receive less damage from Magic).
Unacceptably unbalanced.
Magic pets with low hp actually benefit more from their racial (Magic pets cannot be dealt more than 35% of their maximum health in one attack.)
So Anomalus can't take a hit higher than 362.
Anomalus has fantastic self-synergy.
Health of this fellow is a pure joke (oh yeah, even LESS than Sapphire Cub) yet, due to its Toxic Fumes combined with Corrosion and either Poison Protocol/Contagion Strike AND racial passive, he can do REALLY REALLY HUGE mess in enemy's team ;). Absolutely awesome pet, especially when paired with any pet who has Decoy/Illusionary Barrier or other similar effect ;)))). In general, as stated above - really really good pet, might be a game changer in some situations. Highly recommended.
