If you play Warlock in World of Warcraft: Season of Discovery, you can get a brand new pet called Explorer Imp. This friendly guy can get you some interesting new loot.
How to get the Fel Portal pet in WoW Sod
To earn your new Research Pet, you will need to acquire an item called Research Tap. As far as I can tell, Explorer Taps can be dropped by any crowd; you just need to Drain Soul on the enemy, and you will have a chance to win one of these items. Interact with the Shard to learn how to summon it.

How to use the Explorer Imp in WoW SoD
Explorer Imps allow you to inspect tears in reality to bring back bags of all different types of loot. You can find any number of different things in these bags, from BoE level 10 wrists, level 20 shoulders, to level 30 handlebars. You can summon the Explorer Imp just like you summon any other pet, and then you can interact with it. Ask it to explore a nearby crevice, and it will disappear for 20 minutes. Fortunately, you can go do other things while you wait for the Imp to complete its quest; once it's done, return to the Imp's location to get your loot.

How to get the Felon Guardian Rune with the Explorer Imp
The new rune called Fel Guard for Warlocks is only available by delving into the portals with the Explorer Imp. It seems that only certain Fur Portals have the rune as a chance to drop, and these are: the Desolation Fur Tear, the Swamp of Sorrows Fur Tear, and the Westfall Fur Tear. If you send your Explorer Imp into one of these portals, it has a chance to bring back the Rune of Fur Guardian as part of the loot bag.
Mage interactions with Fel Portals in WoW SoD
Mages can also get some sweet loot from Fel Portals by using a new spell scroll called the Scroll of Spatial Repair, earned by using the Understanding Charm Understanding Charm on various other scrolls. You can use the scroll on a Fel Portal of any level to get gear, similar to the gear that drops for Warlocks.
