Tyrael's Normal, Boring, PoseI was absolutely ecstatic when it came to light that Grunty, BlizzCon 2009's exclusive pet, and the Zergling, one of the possible three pets from the World of Warcraft Collector's Edition, tangled. Much to my surprise, both of the pets mixed it up StarCraft style, not just Grunty. That means that someone, somewhere, deep in the bowels of Blizzard took the time to go back and edit the Zergling's properties to attack his foe. Yep, the doggie actually attacks, and kills Grunty in a messy death animation if he gets the better of the space marine. It's an incredibly minor, but brilliant bit of content.
The intergalactic tango only whet my appetite for further (no longer) non-combat pet interactions. My prayers, and previous complaints have been answered, kinda. Tyrael, the archangel from the Worldwide Invitational in 2008 is getting some added interactions. Tyrael will now increase his repertoire two fold, adding the ability to fall asleep (and be stirred awake) to his list of skills. The little guy is a very light sleeper, constantly rolling over and fidgeting during his Zzz's. Previously the tiny angel would only fold his arms and dance. Okay, still not that impressive, but at least it sucks less. Plus, there could be more animations that just haven't been discovered yet.
If you want to see the new animations you can head over to this post, which tipped me off in the first place. Although his animations remain on the low side - and lack any sort of sound - at least Blizzard has shown they are willing to edit old pets, again. Now if only those few Tyrael holders could meet up with those few mini Diablo holders - also from the original Collector's Edition - then we may be in for some more cross-title mayhem.
Have I told you that I love vanity pets?

In another site they commented on the meet up of Tyrael adn Diablo. They don't interact. Sorry. Someone suggested this may be insite to the Diablo III. Perhaps Tyrael is not ALL good.
Personaly I would rather they fight it out. I like the idea of the mini pets interacting.
Keep collecting!!
For something as awsome looking as that especialy for a vanity pet blizzard could at least make him do something interesting instead of just making him stand there with is thumb up his ass.
@Andrew: As I recall from Diablo II, that's about all Tyrael ever did, anyway.

I have Mini Tyrael, and, aside from sleeping, he can do this movement with his arms, similar to when a warrior activates one of his shouts, and there's a red "aura" under him for a second. I don't know if that's old or new, but it's cool, nontheless
