Introduced with the latest trading card game, March of the Legion. Only obtained by redeeming codes on the actual cards themselves.

This pet has 2 unique animations. Every 20 seconds or so it will hover back and forth with it's rockets, then land safely on the ground. Occasionally it will mess this up and explode in a comical burst of feathers and smoke after rocketing several feet into the air. Both of these animations will happen even if it is following you, so it's not uncommon for it to be bouncing towards you at 5,000mph trying to catch up.

Where does it come from and how hard is it to get?
The Rocket Chicken comes from the World of Warcraft TCG (trading card game)
TCG Expansion: March of the Legion (Official Site)
Card: Robotic Homing Chicken
Rarity: 1/181 booster packs
Distribution: March of the Legion booster boxes contain 24 boosters and cost approx $60 USD (inc. shipping), therefore the average cost of obtaining this particular loot is $453.00. This was the first set with increased loot distribution.

How much would I expect to pay for one off eBay or similar?
According to http://www.wowtcgloot.com/rocket_chicken.htm (most information sourced from there), the lowest Buy It Now price starts around $48 USD upwards to $55 USD, with the average quantity listed hovering around 8 items.

Facts:

Regularly it will hover back and forth with its rockets, then land safely on the ground.
Occasionally it will amusingly explode after rocketing several feet into the air.
When it explodes the combat log says "Rocket Chicken is killed by Suicide".
Useable at any level and therefore available for twinks.

How do the Loot cards work?
Loot cards are special rare versions of WoW TCG cards found in booster packs, starter decks, and raid decks that have a revealable unique code. Once this protective layer concealing the code is scratched away, a 25 digit promotion code is revealed that can be entered into the Blizzard offical promotions page. These codes work for both US and EU servers.

I have the 25 digit loot code, now what?
All accounts from every region in the world use http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/misc/promotion.html to redeem any and all special loot. This webpage allows you to enter the 25 digit promotion code and also select the region and realm for the character that will receive the loot item.

Upon succcessfuly submitting the above information, you will be presented with an in-game code. Write this code down or print it out; you will need it to retrieve your item. Log into the game with the character that is to receive the item and travel to Booty Bay in Stranglethorn Vale. There, you will need to find a goblin by the name of Landro Longshot. He is located on the lower parts of Booty Bay on the docks, and should be easily recognised due to the fact that he has a distinctive purple shirt and two body guards next to him.

When you find Landro, he will first ask if you are here for a promotion, and then ask you which TCG expansion your item comes from (or Points Redemption); check your loot card if you are not sure which item that is. Ensure you have got bag space to hold the item!

The explosion animation is not so rare. Mostly, Rocket Chicken lasts 4 or 5 minutes before exploding in the air with spilling feather animation around it. If you want it to be your companion, you have to resummon it, over and over.

Kommentar von Baelof

This is a little known fact, but if you run your poor little Rocket chicken through shallow water, you can see sparks flying off of it.

The rockets looks a lot like the wowhead logo. Maybe a subtle shout-out to one of the best WoW databases available?

Could not of picked a better name.

I saw then and immediately thought "Robot chicken? Adult swim?"

Kommentar von Allakhazam

That's so funny that you thought that because that is the exact same thing I thought when I first saw it. That is such an awesome show.

Kommentar von Thottbot

This item is from the TCG, just like the dragon kites, flame and frost tabard, etc.

Kommentar von Thottbot

is it true that you have to re-summon if and when a rocket malfunctions and it blows up?

Kommentar von Thottbot

Goblins: They always put a smile on my face. =)

Here's a bit of information about the Rocket Chicken for you guys -

The Loot Card which gives this pet is entitled "Robotic Homing Chicken" and is a part of the new March of the Legion Trading Card collection.

It can be summoned and dismissed like any other non-combat pet.

The Rocket Chicken will periodically hover above the ground using its' rockets. Occasionally, the rockets will malfunction and the chicken will fly upwards and explode.

The Rocket Chicken will need to be re-summoned after it explodes.

Also, this pet has some difficulties keeping up with your character as it will periodically stop to hover while following you. It will usually catch up to you afterwards though.

Kommentar von Thottbot

you can strap a couple rockets onto anything and make it better.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Kommentar von Thottbot

Got one on my 7th or so pack. You do Have to resummon it after it explodes. Its an instant cast but if your own a mount its a bit of a pain. It is about 3x the size of the normal OOX Chicken Model. About the size of a Tauren's foot. It explodes into a bunch of feathers and clucks. It makes noise with its rockets(Doesn't always explode) so if your in pvp don't take him out. The sound will alert EVERYONE within range theres someone there. All in all great pet pvp is a big no no.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Too bad you can't send it at someone like an exploding sheep heeheehee.

Kommentar von Thottbot
