I got a Wintersday Elf (purple rarity).

*wanted a Sylvari* (not that they are in this new set of course).

Heard there were also Heket Warriors, Aatxes, The Lich, Juggernaut, Harpy, Mandragor and Wind Rider minis so far.

They must be timing the birthdays to the exact minute.

Wow congrats

Juggernaut and Aatxes are so cute! Gotta get them

(But I heard that you can only get these mini-pets during THIS event, and characters turning 2 after it, will get different pressies, is this true :O)

I'm at work at the moment, so I can't go ingame and see these mini-pets for myself. Can someone be so kind to start taking CLEAR screenshots of the pets on their own?

PM me to them or post them here, so I can update the guide. Full credit will be given to the person(s) who provide any screenshots.

Thanks in advance.

Who on earth told you that? Nothing but a silly rumor. Most likely people trying to drive the price of the mini-pets up.

I've seen:

Heket
Harpy
Aatxe
Wintersday Elf
Juggernaut


The Heket is cool, and really really big (compared to others, like the Pig).

I don't believe thats true reetkever.. I think its the same set for all, regardless of the date (at least thats what I got out of guildwars.com).

I got me mini-Juggernaut! Hip-Horray!

EDIT: Can I upload pictures straight to here or do I have to go on some dumb hosting-service?

I got a poxy ugly Thorn Wolf.
I was incredibly disappointed to receive this ugly piece of white trash that isn't customised to my character and says little more than "Congratulations! Have this pixellated turd that absolutely anybody will be able to buy for virtual peanuts in a matter of days!".
And I'll say it again, I wouldn't have been so pissed off if Gaile hadn't lied to us last year saying that second birthday presents would be something completely different.

I was probably one of the first to receive this worthless crud getting it at 12:01PST exactly, and a minute later I was trying to sell it in utter disgust.
Unfortunately, I had to leave to catch the train to work, so no doubt the little money I could have earned off of it will have depreciated drastically by the time I get home.

I have seen Palawo Joko (spelling is probably incorrect). I have heard rumors of a gwen, but I have not seen one. I saw the Ataaxe, it looks sweet.

How ungrateful! A.net didn't need to give you or anyone else anything at all. Mini-pets are a free gift, nothing more. We should be please A.net even gave us anything.

Sure you don't like the pet, but no need to go off on one

I don't want to whinge, I know they don't owe us anything, but I really wish they'd dropped rarity. After everyone getting Gold Pigs at the Canthan New Year, I assumed they'd thought better of this nonsense.

Why are most of the new ones so ugly? T_T

I hope I get a Aatxe, Wind Rider, or Juggernaut. All the others don't look cute, imo. >.>

Flame on, Thorn Wolf lovers! ^_^

OH! And thank you, ANet!

He's the nasty child-eating bog monster from Shing Jea island. Also, Thorn Wolves from Urgoz's Warren.

I always liked that ugly thing, and now I can have my very own mini-child-eater! Whee! ^_^

Ewie...

You like bugs? Then why don't you marry them? <.<

Lol. J/k, of course. But I think the Whiptail is cute. ^_^

Reminds me of Old Mack's Devourer, Joe. ^_^
He was a cute little thing. I was actually hoping I'd get a Devourer for one of my B-Days. But I got cuter things instead!

As for the Thorn Wolf... >.>

Wind Rider > Thorn Wolf

How about you re-read the thread that Gaile made, asking about 2nd year gift?

In her OP, she stated CLEARLY that she wanted players' opinion on WHICH MINIs do they want. It's some players that brought up "How about something other than Mini?". To my knowledge, Gaile never said they would do whatever suggested on that thread, other than WHICH MINIs do people want.

Back on topic:

These can't be all of them.....no way.

Where's the green one(s)?

Speaking of which, I just got a whiptail, my 3rd one for my Canthan character's first birthday. What a gip, all I got were whiptails. I was so disgusted that I just gave all my minipets to Gaile.

How about you go back and read my original post where I point out that last year, Gaile stated that second year birthday presents would be something completely different?

Too late for me to try this, but... just for kicks, get someone with Beetle Juice to make a character called Rain Beetle... then go try and sell him as a new mini in Lion's Arch.

Don't actually take the money though. LOL. Late April Fool's or something.
