We already made a list with some special companion pets a while ago but, as expected, I missed a few of them. Besides that, since then a few more pets were introduced into the game. This time we will try to cover the rest of the companions, and since people spoke about pets with cute animations we'll try to add them all in this second part of Special Pets compilation.
Special thanks to the reddit wow community and to our twitter followers for reporting the missing pets.

Amazing pets that we forgot about

  Moonkin Hatchling - (both Horde and Alliance version)
These little guys are going to dance with you if you will do a /dance emote and while iddle they will plant/grow a random flower.
Also, if you are druid and you are flying, they will fly along side with you.

  Lil' XT
Beside the sounds of the original version of XT, he does something else too. He wants to play!
...with mechanical things like other robots and with Train Sets. But, like the bigger version, he also breaks everything!
Every time when he is close to another robot or near a train set, he will break them and start yelling: "I think I broke it!"

  Spring Rabbits
If two of these pets are near each other they will fall in love and they'll make little baby rabbits. That's what rabbits do best I guess...

  Mini Tyrael and   Teldrassil Sproutling
These pets will dance with you if you'll start dancing. They also have a sleep (Zzz) animation while idle.
Apparently they go to sleep if you do a /sleep animation on them too.

  Pandaren Monk
He reacts at your /bow and /drink and it has a bunch of awesome animations and sounds. I guess he is the loudest pet in-game.

  Creepy Crate
This pet likes to eat. Pretty much no critter is safe if this companion is near. The will pull every critter inside the box and dissolve them somehow.
I still do not understand how can you have a box as a pet, but meh...

Pets with cool animations

  Feline Familiar
This pet was just introduced and it's just another cat... or is it? it has a witch hat and if you are mounting and fly around the cat will mount on a little broom and will follow you.

  Singing Sunflower
This unique pet hums and sings various tunes related to Plants vs. Zombies game. It leaves a wake of glowing musical notes then it sings and sometimes shoots a burst of light at you.

  Grunty
This one is a real marine! While idle, he starts using his machine gun and from time to time he uses his grenade launcher too.

  Murky
While idle, he will put his top-hat and start dancing. Cute murlocs are cute!

  Armadillo Pup
Another special idle animation. From time to time this little guy will hide into his shell, transforming himself into a little ball.

  Core Hound Pup
This pup is not only guarding your account, but he also has some neat animations.
He will play with a bone, fight for it with his another head, roll over, and borrow his bone. It has some interesting sounds too.

 Deathy and   Murkablo
They both have pretty much the same animations. They will spit fire. A lot! They will jump through smoke rings created by them and they will spit fire on the ground while they are in the air for a little period of time.

 Perky Pug
Very funny pet. He will bark, chase his tail, wipe his rear end on the floor... then sniff it. Oh well, still funny.

  Rocket Chicken
The chicken will hover around you from time to time, but from sometimes something will go wrong, he will be launched up at full speed and explode into a cloud of feathers. You'll have to summon it again if this happens.

  Mini Diablo
He will shoot jets of fire from time to time. It takes a while to see its animation, you have to have patience.

  Panda Cub
He will stand on his behind legs and do a /roar animation.

Now that I read it here, Murkablo and Deathy do have the same animations.

C'mon Blizzard, a bit more creativity, especially on these special pets.

There is also the Warbot, in the same vein as the Clockwork bots, but with empty tanks on their back. If you still have some red or blue fuel (available only during the Mt. Dew promotion) you can duel them with players who fuel up using the other color fuel.

I would like to say the Feline Familiar, also works as the black cat does with stinky the skunk pet. If you have the feline familiar out and someone near you has the skunk pet out, the skunk will fall in love with the familiar and chase her around, and have his heart broken.

You forgot the Leaping/Darting Hatchling which will run after you with either a leap or a dash. Also, Nuts the Squirrel will throw an acorn at you which puts stars above your head and makes you double over. You can still move and stuff though. I've also heard that Mr. Grubbs does back flips when idle.
