World of Warcraft – How to get Stinker the Skunk Companion Pet in WoW

Stinker is a cute skunk pet that does more than just look cute in World of Warcraft. If you’ve been playing WoW for a while, you’ve probably noticed that Blizzard, the company behind this MMORPG, has included all sorts of hints about movies, stories, and real-life people.

When you have engineering as one of your professions, you will need to talk to either Zebig or Lebowsky, depending on whether your character is a member of the Horde or the Alliance. Would you like to buy the biggest bags in the game? So, sorry, go to Paris, Haris Pilton. You will find this stylish blood elf vendor at the bar called “The World’s End Tavern” in the city of Shattrath.

A Pulp Fiction-inspired quest is called “Zedd’s Probably Dead,” and if you look around in-game, you’ll find more of these subtle clues.

Stinker is no exception to this rule. Actually, he is modeled on an old cartoon character by the name of Pepe Le Pew. Pepe Le Pew was a French skunk created by Warner Brothers. He always fell in love with a black cat, which grew a white stripe on its back, often in paint. Pepe would then mistake the cat for another skunk.

In the game, Stinker is also known for his strange attraction to black cats.

You get Stinker as a reward for achievements

If you collect pets in WoW, you will receive various achievements. One of the first will probably be the “Can I Keep Him?” achievement. You receive it when you get your first companion pet. The next achievement in this series is called “Lots of Pets,” and you get it for having 15 unique companions.

After that, and if you keep collecting, you will get the “Plethora of Pets” for 25 non-combat pets. Right now you can get 149 different pets, but you will get your next achievement for only a third, that is 50 pets. This achievement is called “Shop Smart, Shop Pet…Smart”, and when you’ve earned it, you’ll receive a reward in your mailbox.

The reward is the “Stinky Pet Carrier”, and when you open it, you’ll find Stinker inside. In case you were wondering, yes, there are more pet achievements after this one. If you collect 75 pets, you will get “Lil’ Game Hunter” and a cute fawn as a reward. And that should be easy now, with 149 pets available.
