My first/main Guild Wars character just celebrated her first birthday this week. When a Guild Wars character celebrates their creation anniversary, a present appears in their inventory. The present is a Miniature, commonly known as a minipet. The type of minipet one receives is random. There are some that are rarer than others. Every year, a new series is released. They are tradeable and collectible.
I got the Jade Armour mini pet (common):

The Collector’s Edition of Guild Wars: Factions also included a unique mini pet, Kuunavang:

Kuunavang proved difficult to photograph, as she kept flying around randomly. It was hard to predict her movements; this might be as good as it gets. These pictures were taken just outside of Port Sledge.

my characters were all created after august. while most of my guildies have been around since day 1 of gw. so i’m a little jealous and irritated by them always bringing 4 or 5 minipets when we group together.
bigwig: I’m sure that minipet army looks quite awesome.
Hey, thanks again for the Orbs. :D It really helped me out. I’m a sucker for those silly/useless collectibles. Hehe.
Makes me want to get back into the game.
That would assume I’d have that kind of free time though :(
