* ''[[Flintlocke's Guide to Azeroth|Flintlocke vs. The Horde]]'' has [http://pc.gamespy.com/flintlocke-vs-the-horde/hares-and-heroines-/913756p1.html Bun'kar, the warrior bunny]. Being a hunter's pet, it might become [[Killer Rabbit]] later, though. While Bun'kar, the warrior bunny, never fights, he and his hunter manage to overpower at least three characters, one of which was significantly stronger. The healer(Doc) remarks "That rabbit was dynamite."

* Bloodhounds are among the gentler dog breeds. They actually got their names because they are hunting dogs with the main purpose of following blood trails.
* The ominously named ''[[wikipedia:Purgatorius|Purgatorius]]'' was a small mammal that was one of the first species to emerge after the death of the dinosaurs, and the ancestor of the primates.
