Our author Leya has discovered six pets and mounts in MMOs that all have cool stories. Read here about dead ghost girls, legendary lucky pigs, and space herpes.
Maybe you are, just like me, excited about animal companions in games. The crazier the pets and mounts are, the better! Often they are just quirky beings, but sometimes there are also exciting stories behind them.
Here come six cool animal stories that I would like to share with you.
A dead child as a pet
In the World of Warcraft you can actually have a dead girl as a pet. The little Uuna disappeared without a trace after the great battle for Argus, like many children, and presumably died here.
Uuna’s soul is stuck in a dog made from corpses: Now the soul of the Draenei girl cannot find peace, as she is doomed to lead her lifeless existence in a deformed dog creature named Ur’zul. The Ur’zul are demons made from the bodies and souls of tortured Draenei.
Apparently, it was not macabre enough to make a pet out of a dead child. It also had to be stuffed into a dog made of corrupted and fused corpses.

Uuna’s soul can be freed: Behind the dead girl is a puzzle and those who solve it free the little soul from her fear and torment.
As a reward, players then receive a grateful and happy ghost girl. From now on, the liberators of her soul will be able to hug Uuna. A hauntingly beautiful story.
On the next page, we continue with a tale of a lucky pig …
