Pet Gender Discovery [Useless]

[narfboy2003]

I've noticed this little (harmless) exploit and decided to test it further. Apparently this interesting exploit of game mechanics is harmless and won't get you banned. Anyway, both factions have access to this, however its harder for the Horde since it involves going into Wetlands and is generally out of the way for Horde. This screenshot here shows where it is. There's only two types of mobs, not counting the special-named questmobs. Cursed Sailors, and Cursed Marines. Both mobs are relatively harmless and both can cast an ability called "Curse of the Eye" which turns the target into an Undead Male or Female. At first I thought it was random when it happened to my pet, but found it to repeat itself. Oddly, I found my Voidwalker is a female, my Imp a male, and my Succubus a female (was hoping for a Transexual for lulz). It seems these effects do not change from logging off and back in.


Higher level's will have a harder time since Pet's have resist checks like anything else. But either way, if you get your pet turned into an Undead Male or Female, congrats! You now know what the gender of your pet is. A cool trick is to dismiss your pet, then go into a major city, or PvP, and call it back and sick it on the Alliance or Horde. Lulz are to be had.

Apparently my Imp is Male.

And that my Succubus is Female.

Was posted recently in the official eu wow hunter forums.

There's a macro that can show you if a target is male or female, but for pets they come up as unknown or something like that.

nordh, that's not true. They don't come up as unknown.
1. Target pet
2. Run this macro:

/script if UnitSex("target")==3 then g=" female." else g=" male."end; DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Your pet is a"..g)

3. ???
4. Profit!

Did you notice a funny part in the macro?
/script if UnitSex("target")==3 (and so on)


How do you if its a girl or boy? Look for the 'bits'

3: Female
2: Male
1: Neutral

You fail.

[Lethi]

Just for reference, Narf; a succubus is female by definition. The male version is called an incubus.

[Keilden]

Nice find and nice macro. +rep for both of you

[Heftydogg]

Well my server is down so I can't test the macro.

Even if the macro does work though, this is a pretty cool way to test the gender. You would think they don't even document the gender of your pet but i guess so.

The dismiss and resummoning in a bg alone made me lawl.

It was a joke.......

It was based on a similarity of shape. As they would ask in Jeopardy "What human appendige does ==3 look like?"

Crass I know but it made me chuckle because ironically its how you tell the gender

[NiceDK]

Nice macro.. I will try it

[Khelidon]

Quite amusing
