I logged in after a while and saw a new pet which looks like one of those big crystal dragon from GW2 video. Could not find any info in wiki page. Someone please update me with this one..

It's a shard wolf. They are found in the Fissure of woe

The wolves are scattered across the map and only spawn if you speak to a certain NPC and take his quest. The NPC is somewhat hidden and only people doing speed clears or full FoW runs even bother with it. Most groups go to FoW only to craft armor and they never trigger the Shard wolf quest. So they're pretty easy to miss.

No, I have done the quest that involved killing those wolves. I meant that I never bothered taking a *close look* at them, also the fact that I play caster (distance) and those wolves die pretty fast..

I agree!

To me, a shard wolf looks like a small red dot in the distance that's surrounded by fire, death and damage numbers. I never really get a proper look at 'em.

I play casters and tend to leeroy around a lot so I remember those wolves because: "<run run run> KILL IT! KILL IT BEFORE IT CASTS OBSIDIAN FLESH"
