Pre-Cataclysm Events Start (Elemental Invasion)

Information about the Elemental Invasion in remote outposts and several larger cities and the Twilight Cultists quest line is now available.  Start here to get information but note WOW Head says not everything is available yet in the quest line.  All this will probably end when Patch 4.0.3 The Shattering hits.

Day of the Dead Holiday

Welcome to November and the short Day of the Dead event.  There isn't much going on but it is something different for those bored by Patch 4.0.1.  If you are into pets, there's a small skeleton pet that wears a sombrero and carries maracas that vanishes after the holiday is over, and there is one achievement.  The WOW link has the basics with more information in the WOW Head one.

Demon Dogs, Spirit Wolf and Crabby Ghostcrawlers (Cataclysm)

The Cataclysm beta is introducing more tamable pets.  You'll be able to tame more colors of demon dogs if you want a fanged Chinese Crested following you.  The first link is about the demon dogs; the second shows the Chinese Cresteds they seem to be modeled on.

A new spirit beast has been spotted in Cataclysm.  It's a semi-transparent blue crab called Ghostcrawler.
