Core Hound Pup

The Core Hound Pup is a core hound companion.

This item is mailed out to all characters on accounts that have a Blizzard Authenticator or Blizzard Mobile Authenticator attached, including accounts that are attached to an authenticator in the future. It represents the authenticator as being the "guard dog" of your account.

Found in the Firelands and the Molten Core, core hounds can trace their lineage back to the alpha male, Magmadar.

Players are mailed this companion by the WoW Dev Team:

Previously the pup was sent from Breanni with the letter:

Ownership of this companion is also dependent on an authenticator; removal of an authenticator from your account will also remove the Core Hound Pup from all characters on that account.

Idle animations:

• Scrunches down, then rears up on its hind legs to dance.
• Jumps over to its left, then rolls over on its side to the right, then jumping back to center.
• Right head digs a bone from the ground. After making sure of a firm grip in its jaws, left head tries to grab it while right head denies by turning away. Right head then retaliates by whipping back around and smacking left head with the end of the bone. As left head hangs in dejection, right head tosses bone up into the air, catches it end-first, and scarfs it down.
