Interesting that he doesn't say "miniature white rabbit" makes me think that if it is in the .dat that it wouldn't be a mini. Sadly I don't really see any minis I would like out of the batch, but my girlfriend loves dinosaurs so if I get a raptor it'll be a nice present.

Not really all that impressed with these if they're truly the year three minis. All I honestly see is reskins of other minis. And no mention of a mini Glint.

Mini Roaring Ether. HELL YES.

EDIT: No offense, ANet, but Mini Forest Minotaur is too damn close to the Mini Aatxe we already have. I'd replace this with some other type. Same for Abyssal (Jungle Troll).

EDIT2: Still no Mini Smite Crawler.

Miniature Abyssal I guess it's a step up from a miniature Jungle Troll
Miniature Black Beast of Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh el cheapo version of Greased Lightning
Miniature Freezie this one sounds fun and original, probably rare
Miniature Irukandji Wind Rider > Irukandji both as a mini and the real thing
Miniature Forest Minotaur we already got Aatxe
Miniature Ooze the new fungal wallow?
Miniature Raptor every farmer needs one as a badge of trade
Miniature Roaring Ether is it cooler than a Temple Guardian? ... nobody cares
White Rabbit now this is interesting, green?

go into your gw.dat, print screen, open up with image modifying program, and then host the image and give the link here. otherwise, this isn't true. ^^

(though it would be nice if this was true. screen shot will prove all )

They must be out of inspiration

Miniature Abyssal = a black jungle troll
Miniature Roaring Ether = a elonian version of the temple guardian
Miniature Black Beast of Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh = a beetle with a different skin
Miniature Irukandji = a wind rider xD.
Miniature Forest Minotaur = a bad aatxe xD

Miniature Nornbear (eww)
Miniature Raptor (eww)
Miniature Cloudtouched Simian (eww x10, I'm sure that I will get that one xD)

Miniature Cave Spider
Miniature Ooze
Miniature Freezie
Miniature Mad King Thorn
Miniature Mursaat
White Rabbit (I want to see that one xD).

I hope that some of those are false or that ANet will change them xD (excpet for the rabbit xD).

For confirmation of this minipet list, let's wait for community relations to state that white rabbit does not exist :P

Currently dumping the .dat strings, so I'll add my voice on this in a few minutes.

My guess is Mad King will be the green. There's a few in there that sound interesting. Hope I get one of the good ones out of my 2 characters that will be turning 3 (so far I've only gotten a few whites and purples from BDay presents :P).

/sigh, Smite Crawler would be nice... Banished Dream Rider would be a fun reskin also.

If this list is in fact accurate, third year minis seem to be a bit disappointing. At least 3 reskins, although Mini Black Beast of Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh > Mini Greased Lightning. With the exception of Mad King Thorn, and maybe Freezie, the rest are bleh. Haven't had much interest in minis since losing my Ghostly, so oh well.

To me, mini IG will always be the cutest one anyway.

I want a Mini Roaring Ether so I won't complain about it's similarity to the Temple Guardian. It looks too badass for that (gotta love those fiery insides). Likewise, flying pets are always cool so I don't mind the Irukandji being similar to a Wind Rider. (It's actually not the same at all.) A more-common Miniature Beetle has been a popular request, and Greased Lightnings are too rare, so that's fine with me. Nice choice to go with the Black Beast over one of the common Vabbi beetles.

The Abyssal needs to go though. It's the same damn thing as a Jungle Troll - just a different color. Same for the Forest Minotaur & Bladed Aatxe. Too damn similar to waste a mini slot on it. Ideally, ANet should be aiming for minipets that are as unique as possible from one to the next, and I just don't think they're accomplishing that by having a Mini Abyssal and a Mini Forest Minotaur. Things such as Dolyaks, Stone Summit Beastriders, Dredges, Nightmares, The Hunger, Kilroy, etc., are different enough from everything else we've gotten (and what's listed in this thread) to be worthwhile. I'm not trying to campaign for any one of those, just giving examples.

Miniatures are the most useless items in GW and I always get stuck with the really bad ones anyway, so I couldn't care less.

Confirmed.

For those who want a screenshot:


File size is 17112 for those who want to look for themselves. It was near the end for me.

Minis are there in multiple languages (in other files)

My bet on miniature colors:

White Rabbit is unique among the entries, so it will be green. Since it doesn't have 'miniature' in its name, it looks like we are getting a rabbit of proper size to go with the Black Moa Chick. All those who missed a cuddly polar bear have a better chance this time.

Gold should be easy, there will be two of them and Freezie and Mad King Thorn are a natural pair, embodying Wintersday and Halloween, respectively.

Three purples left, not too difficult. Mursaat, The Black Beast of Aaarrrgh and Nornbear stand out of the rest of the bunch.

Eight whites as usual.
