Notes

To edit these notes, go to Template:Call of the Wild notes.

  • The companions are summoned in what in English is alphabetical order: LegacyHuffer, then LegacyLeokk, then LegacyMisha.[1] This order is used regardless of the game client's current language, although it may not be alphabetical order in other languages.[2]
    • This is important when playing with more than 4 minions already in play, since there won't be room to summon all 3 companions. This produces 4 possibilities:
      • With 4 or fewer friendly minions on the board, all 3 companions will be summoned
      • With 5 minions on the board, only Huffer and Leokk will be summoned
      • With 6 minions on the board, only Huffer will be summoned
      • With 7 minions on the board, no companions will be summoned
    • This arguably provides a bias toward aggressive play, with Huffer's Charge and then Leokk's Attack buff taking priority over Misha's Taunt.
  • Leokk's ongoing effect will be put into play as soon as it is summoned, resulting in Huffer immediately becoming a 5/2 and Misha a 5/4.
  • If used against the Kel'Thuzad boss in Curse of Naxxramas, you will get all three animal companions as well as NaxxramasMr. Bigglesworth.[3]


Lore[]

"To heed such a call is to forsake man-made weaponry in favor of a more feral response."

Based upon LegacyAnimal Companion, this spell seems to represent the hunter calling upon all their faithful companions at once.

There was also a Hunter pet ability named Call of the Wild in World of Warcraft, as well as a Druid ability in the TCG, although in both cases its effect was very different. Its effect is reminiscent of another Hunter ability: Stampede.

Trivia[]

  • For "a few minutes" during the card's development, Call of the Wild instead summoned 3 random companions. Mike Donais comments, "That didn't last long though",[4] likely referring to the burst potential of multiple Huffers, or simply frustration with the unpredictability of the RNG.
