In the World of Warcraft, hunters can keep pets and train them to have certain skill when you train a different pet, you can have a new skill which can be passed to your main pet. Then, how to choose a good pet? Here is the choice for you:

The Spider comes at the fifth place. Spiders are nearly everywhere in World of Warcraft. They can learn cower, growl, and bite. Yet spiders don not have special skill, so there are not very popular among hunters. To make up for their disadvantage, they have high damage output, which is 7%; also, there are no penalties to health or armor.

In the forth place, it's Owl. Like Spiders, Owls have their damage as high as 7%, and this trait has become their extra bonus. Apart from this, they have average health and armor. Owls have large skill set: claws, cover, growl, dive and one unique screech skill; this has made them especially popular for pet tanking. Lower level Horde Hunters have been known to sneak into Teldrassil –the only place Owls are found pre-level 48 to tame one.

Bat ranks the third. There are a number of Bat species that can be found in Tirisfal Glade, Blackrock Depths, Razorfen Kraul, the Eastern Plaguelands, and the Ghostlands. Bats have the same skills as Owls with the same high damage output +7% and they also have average health and armor. Compared with Owls, they are more available and they have t a slight edge over Owls due to their fearsome looks.

Ravager is the second. Ravagers can be found in Outland and Azuremyst Isle and Bloodmyst Isle in the low-level Draenei areas. Ravagers have low health, that is -7%., yet on the contrary their damage is as high as +10%, and their armor is +5%. Ravagers can learn cower, growl, bite, dash, and gore which is a cheap instant attack that does small damage but has a 50% chance to do double damage, or quadruple damage on a critical hit. The Ravager's useful skills and high-end damage make them a very good Hunter pet.

Cat, rather than other pets, is in the first place. Cats are by far and away the most popular Hunter pet. Their appealing looks, commoness throughout Azeroth, large amount of availible skills (Bite, Growl, Cower, Claw, Dash, and Prowl), and variety make them the top choice. Their Prowl ability works very well with a Night Elf Hunter's Shadowmeld skill. Cats also have the highest net bonuses at +8% with high damage that reaches +10. However, their health is lower than the average, at -2% but with average armor. Unless you dislike the idea of having the most popular World of Warcraft pet, cat is the way to go.
