How to Get the Cuddly Pearl Grrgle in WoW

World of Warcraft players are getting another free Twitch Drop, and this time the reward is tied to the adorable Cuddly Pearl Grrgle Housing decoration for Midnight Housing. Blizzard confirmed that the promotion officially begins on April 23 at 3:00 p.m. PDT and remains active until May 21 at 3:00 p.m. PDT.

The timing is important because Patch 12.0.5 arrives first on April 21, with the new WoW Twitch Drop becoming available shortly afterward. Players interested in collecting Housing decorations will have over four weeks to unlock the cosmetic item before the event ends.

WoW Cuddly Pearl Grrgle Twitch Drop Start Date

The Cuddly Pearl Grrgle Twitch Drop goes live on April 23 at 3:00 p.m. PDT and stays available until May 21 at 3:00 p.m. PDT. During that period, players can unlock the decoration completely free by watching eligible World of Warcraft streams on Twitch.

To receive the reward, players must watch a total of four hours of participating WoW content creators. Twitch Drop progress carries between eligible channels in the World of Warcraft category, meaning viewers can switch streams whenever they want without losing accumulated watch time.

However, Blizzard clarified that opening several streams simultaneously will not increase progress faster. Only one active stream contributes toward the four-hour requirement at a time.

How to Get the Cuddly Pearl Grrgle in WoW

Before the Twitch Drop campaign begins, players should make sure their Battle.net and Twitch accounts are properly linked. Without the account connection, Twitch watch progress will not reward the Housing item.

After reaching the required four hours watched, players must manually claim the reward through Twitch Drops inventory. Once claimed, the decoration may take up to 24 hours before appearing inside the game.

Another important detail is that the first Battle.net region players log into after claiming the reward becomes the region where the item is delivered. Players who regularly swap between regions should keep this in mind before redeeming the drop.

Cuddly Pearl Grrgle Is Designed for Midnight Housing

The Cuddly Pearl Grrgle reward is specifically tied to the upcoming Midnight Housing system rather than WoW Classic content. Blizzard is continuing to promote Housing cosmetics ahead of the feature’s larger rollout, and this Twitch Drop serves as another early collectible for players interested in decorating their future homes.

Blizzard also confirmed that players who unlock the decoration through Twitch Drops will later be able to purchase additional copies from several in-game vendors. These include Dennia Silvertongue in Silvermoon City, Tuuran in Stormwind, and Gabbi in Orgrimmar near the Trading Post.

This means players are not permanently limited to a single copy after unlocking the item. Housing enthusiasts who want to decorate multiple rooms or properties with the same collectible will eventually have additional purchase options available in-game.

WoW Twitch Drops Continue in 2026

Blizzard has continued using Twitch Drops regularly throughout recent expansions and major updates, often tying rewards to pets, mounts, transmogs, or upcoming features. The Cuddly Pearl Grrgle continues that trend while simultaneously helping promote Midnight Housing ahead of future content updates.

For players already planning to watch World of Warcraft streams after Patch 12.0.5 launches, unlocking the free Housing decoration should be straightforward. As long as accounts are connected and the reward is claimed correctly through Twitch, the process only requires four hours of watch time during the promotional period.
