I know this from experience I have been trying to get a life minotaur FOR SO LONG!!!!!! All i get is clothes and furniture.
Thats funny lol, I just killed a boss in Kroktopia (helping a friend) and I got a life pet. Its a baby right now just hatched I like my fire serpent better though.
Tyler, I got the Fire Serpent a year or 2 ago, glad to know he still drops. I will have to farm him for my other account. Once trained, he is a GREAT helper. He added accuracy and power to my fire attacks, casts fire trap by himself and his card is pretty good too, just takes a while to train him up to ancient to get it. If you have a fire wizard, I would definitely train up your snake.
Quite possibly my favorite pet is the FIRE SNAKE. dropped by Boris Blackrock in the Crucible of Dragonspyre. He is the ice boss in the center circle. Health 7,000.
