World of Warcraft is full of terrifying creatures and spectacular mounts, but one of the title’s most adorable faces is Pepe, the tiny critter that has stolen WoW fans’ hearts.

While World of Warcraft offers players the opportunity to become mighty heroes and vengeful warriors, sometimes it’s the little things that make the biggest impact.

If tearing through enemies as an Elemental Shaman, or cracking heads as a Zandalari Troll isn’t for you, then you can venture out into the fields of Azeroth and inspect the game’s adorable critters.

One of these is Pepe, the tiny bird that has won the hearts of many a hero. Here’s how to get the adorable little creature, as well as what outfits are available for you to dress him up in.

How to get Pepe in WoW

Added to the game with the Warlords of Draenor expansion, this adorable little avian creature has become one of the story’s greatest heroes. If you’re looking to meet this tiny celebrity, heres how to do it:

  1. During Warlords of Draenor, visit your Level 3 Garrison.
    • It doesn’t matter if you’re Horde or Alliance, both factions have one.
  2. Leave the Garrison’s main building and bear left.
  3. Pepe can be found chilling on the first tree.
  4. Interacting with him will give players an hour long buff entitled “”You’ve got a friend!”
    • Pepe will sit on the player’s head until the hour is up, or the player dies. He respawns every five minutes.

If you don’t want to have to run back and forth to pick up Pepe, you’ll be able to summon him by acquiring the Trans-Dimensional Bird Whistle via the quest What A Strange, Interdimensional Trip it’s Been. This requires you to defeat all of the Warlords of Draenor bosses while accompanied by Pepe.

If you’re desperate to acquire a feathered friend but are baffled with all of the game’s many main story questlines, don’t worry!

  1. Travel to Stormwind or Orgrimmar

  2. Check the Hero’s Call Board, or Warchief’s Command Board.
  3. Select “Warlords of Draenor: The Dark Portal.

After completing the What A Strange, Interdimensional Trip it’s Been quest, you’ll be able to start looking for costumes for your beloved little bird.
