My first pet on wizard101 was a unicorn. When I first started the game I thought it was the best thing ever! and it didn't even give anything good lol. Now I just keep her as a housing item?
My first pet that I got excited about winning, was a Storm Hound that dropped from Malestaire. It was 2009 and pet training was not a thing yet back then. They weren't available in the Crown Shop at that time, either. She came with a damage over time storm spell, though, and that was super useful!
I carried that lovely little hound until training came out, then trained her. In addition to the card, she actually had good talents! She was such a great pet that my Storm kept her original Storm Hound equipped up until Azteca made a healing and defense pet necessary. Her name is Sadie and I still have her in my backpack, but don't equip her anymore.

My first pet was a fire hound. I didn't know much about the game at that time. I was just training him and having fun. Then one day he healed me in a battle. What? What just happened? Then I started reading in wiki and, sure enough, he had healing skills. Then we trained a lot!!
Back when in my noob days when I first started playing the first pet I got was a dragon.
I saw it in the Wizard City pet shop and was like "I must have one!", so I sold every unnescessary item I'd been lugging around with me and bought one.
She was just red on red, so I named my new pet dragon Ruby. I carried her around with me until the end of Dragonspyre. I didn't bother training her even though I could have done so, I was just elated by the little red dragon following me around. I didn't really replace her until I got my Phoenix pet from Wintertusk.
She now resides happily in my castle along with the many other dragon pets I have collected over the years of playing the game.
My first pet was a heckhound bought in Krokotopia near the Krokosphinx. His name was Rusty and I absolutely adored him. Actually as it is 4 years later, I still have that pet just for the sake of memories. I trained him to ancient not knowing anything about pets but he was much loved and still is loved but obviously not used.
Mine has to be the midnight sprite dropped from Lord Nightshade in his tower in Haunted Cave. Back then, Pet Pavilion was yet to be discovered, so pets were just here purely for their looks. Also, Nightshade used to drop Crowns Only Items (Midsummer's Crowl, Jacket of Withstanding, Code Wands etc) very frequently, so I was always a friendly visitor.
Her name was Princess Alyssa :)
Still have her to this day. She's my motivation as to why I beat these mobs the way I do!
Does anyone still have that free piggy given for completing the Pet Pavilion?
Don't tell me we all got rid of the poor fellow
That one, the Blue Cyclops from Penny Dreadful and the Golden Piggle from Wysteria are all in my wizards houses. But my first pet came with a game card - a Wild Claw I named Roscoe, he's still in use with my Myth Wizard, I trained him to adult and he gives her Fairy and extra accuracy. I really should try to get him to ancient and see what else he has.

I don't remember the very first pet i quested with. But one of my first ones was a Samooria from the Crown Shop because it was life and it has a unicorn spell.
I believe my first pet was an Ice Cat or something like that lol. I got it from a gift card. I had no idea of what pets were capable of back it the day. I still keep my cat in my inventory
However I'm still confused, are there 2 different Ice Cats? I swear there's like an updated version of mine, it has the same features yet different species names... hmmm... anyways, I will NEVER get rid of him. He the first pet I've ever had and liked
