Fight Night: Sir Galveston is randomly available in Dalaran (27.89, 23.14) and only visible if you've unlocked World Quests. Rewards will vary.
- Quick note: this IS part of Family Familiar. I'm adding Family comps at the bottom of this post as they're developed.

Sir Galveston will have the following team (all level 25 epics):

1. [npc=99186]
humanoid
[pet-ability=1100]
[pet-ability=1106]
[pet-ability=1103]
2. [npc=99185]
flying
[pet-ability=202]
[pet-ability=162]
[pet-ability=170]
3. [npc=99187]
dragonkin
[pet-ability=115]
[pet-ability=168]
[pet-ability=792]


World Quest Team: [npc=71019] (1,2,2) | [npc=34770] (1,2,2) | [npc=91823] (2,1,?)

  • Start with Coilfang Stalker
  • [pet-ability=482] (Sir Murkeston stuns himself with [pet-ability=1106])

  • [pet-ability=482] (will hit Coach as it swaps in)

  • [pet-ability=465]

  • [pet-ability=488]

  • [pet-ability=482] until Coach dies (2-3)

  • [pet-ability=482] (Sir Murkeston stuns himself again) *there is a chance you die here, skip to Marionette section*

  • [pet-ability=482] (will hit Greatest Foe as it swaps in)
  • Anything/Pass (you'll die)
  • Bring in Macabre Marionette

    • [pet-ability=1091]

    • [pet-ability=212]

    • [pet-ability=1094] until Greatest Foe dies (3-4)

    • [pet-ability=1091] (Sir Murkeston's final [pet-ability=1106] should push you to undead round)

    • [pet-ability=1094] in undead round, or until Marionette dies (1-2)
  • Bring in Fel Pup

  • [pet-ability=499] if it will kill, otherwise...

  • [pet-ability=165]

  • [pet-ability=499] until Sir Murkeston dies




Family Familiar breakdowns
(Use the Spoiler tags to view the strats as they're developed/linked.)


Aquatic: Aquatic Acquiescence

  • Team: [npc=63954] (1,2,2) (alts) | [npc=88300] (2,2,2) | [npc=93808] (2,2,1)
    Strategy: here | Credit: TikiTime


Speed for Mongoose and Puddle Terror needs to be greater than 273.


Beast: Best of the Beasts

  • Team: [npc=72160] (1,1,1) | [npc=53884] (1,2,2) | [npc=91823] (2,1,1)
    This is Amerelock's strategy & I suggest the alternate opening in the comments by Anistasia (here).



Critter: Mousing Around

  • Team: [npc=64352] (2,2,1) (alts) | [npc=62246] (1,2,1) (alts) | [npc=82715] (1,1,2) (alt)
    Strategy: here | Credit: Alucarde


This has some chances to be impacted by breed and RNG, but even losing a pet early I was still able to pull out a win.


Dragonkin: Dragons!

  • Team: [npc=62395] (2,2,1) (alt) | [npc=68662] (1,1,2) | 3rd Dragonkin
    Strategy: here | Credit: Rikade


Rikade lays out the fight to account for breed variations, please check your NFD's speed and proceed accordingly.


Elemental: Ragnaros, Watch and Learn

  • Team: [npc=68666] (1,1,1) | [npc=61686] (1,2,2) | [npc=15710] (1,2,2)
    Ashstone Core and Tiny Snowman only have one breed, and I tested all 3 breeds of Tiny Bog Beast.


Spoiler
  • [pet-ability=569] (incapacitates Murk)

  • [pet-ability=484] until Coach is dead (usually 5)

  • [pet-ability=569] (incapacitates Murk)

  • [pet-ability=484] until Ashstone Core dies (1-2)

  • Bring in Tiny Bog Beast

  • [pet-ability=406] until Greatest Foe dies (4-5)

  • [pet-ability=124] until Bog Beast dies (H/P should hit 3/3, other breeds will be 1-2)

  • Bring in Tiny Snowman

  • [pet-ability=414]

  • [pet-ability=481] & combo with [pet-ability=414] on CD

  • [pet-ability=477] to fill



Flying: Flock Together

  • Team: H/S [npc=88575] (2,1,2) | [npc=88225] (2,2,1) | [npc=77137] (2,1,1)
    Strategy: here | Credit: solitha


Using the [npc=77137], the breed of the [npc=88575] can vary (I won with H/H). Commenters on the OP offer options for substitutions to the 1st and 3rd pets, but the MVP for this strat is [npc=88225].


Humanoid: Murlocs, Harpies, and Wolvar, Oh My!

  • Team: [npc=15698] (2,1,1) | [npc=15705] (2,1,2) | [npc=97229] (1,1,1)
    Strategy: here | Credit: Tisina


FYI, in terms of attacks and breeds, [npc=15698] = [npc=15705] - so you just need two of any/either.


Magic: Master of Magic

  • Team: [npc=71021] (1,2,1) | [npc=71019] (1,2,2) | [npc=71016] (1,1,1)
    (If it's relevant, my Voidcaller is H/P, Coilfang is P/B and my Abyssal is P/P - please let me know if there are breed issues with this strat.)


Spoiler
Katiku's suggestion actually made me completely rethink/retool the Magic strat. More swaps overall, but I think it'll be less RNG for different pet breeds.

Start with Lesser Voidcaller
  • [pet-ability=218] (Sir Murkeston will stun himself with [pet-ability=1106])
  • [pet-ability=422] (Murk swaps with Coach)
  • [pet-ability=444]
  • Swap to Coilfang Stalker
  • [pet-ability=488]
  • [pet-ability=482] until Coach dies (2-3)
  • [pet-ability=465] (Murk should use [pet-ability=1103] to bring in Greatest Foe)
  • Swap back to Lesser Voidcaller
  • [pet-ability=218]
  • [pet-ability=444]
  • Swap to Netherspace Abyssal
  • [pet-ability=407]
    (P/S Abyssals might need to pass 1st to avoid hitting barrier with Strike)
  • [pet-ability=406] until Greatest Foe dies (2-3)
  • [pet-ability=406] should finish off Sir Murk, but if he kills the Abyssal, bring in your Voidcaller for some [pet-ability=422].



Mechanical: Roboteer

  • Team: [npc=64899] (1,2,2) | [npc=48609] (1,1,1) | [npc=73011] (2,1,1)
    Strategy: here | Credit: Apsalar


Each pet only has one breed, so this is pretty consistent outside of the natural crits/etc. of a regular fight.


Undead: The Lil' Necromancer

  • Team: [npc=83817] (2,2,2) | [npc=88577] (1,2,1) | [npc=90203] (1,1,1)
    Strategy: partial by OP here, I added a comment with addt'l detail | Credit: Gracejones


Any Fragment of [emotion] should work fine, just make sure to spec [pet-ability=752] and [pet-ability=1066].

For Mousing Around, I used:

1. Rapana Whelk (221) - vs [npc=99186]
2. Shimmershell Snail (121) - vs [npc=99185]
3. Frostfur Rat (112) - vs [npc=99187]

The selected critters have moves that deal extra damage to their counterparts. Play it smart and adapt the strategy and this portion of the achievement is pretty much in the bag.

You can use any snails for the first and second pet slots as long as they have the stated skills.

Start with Rapana Whelk against [npc=99186]. Absorb once and you get hit by Falling Murloc. [npc=99186] will swap to [npc=99185] due to the stun from Falling Murloc. You swap to Shimmershell Snail.

Shimmershell Snail comes in. [npc=99185] will Lift-Off, while you use Dive. Since you are slower, Lift-Off misses you, while your Dive hits. Keep Shell Shield up and Ooze Touch [npc=99185] to KO.

[npc=99186] enters and Falling Murloc.Take the hit to ensure it stuns itself, while you Ooze Touch it. After the stun it will swap to [npc=99187], while you swap to Frostfur Rat.

Frostfur Rat enters. You are faster than [npc=99187]. Keep Crouch and Call Darkness up, then Sneak Attack until [npc=99187] KOs.

[npc=99186] comes back in. Keep Crouch and Call Darkness up, then Sneak Attack until Frostfur Rat KOs. By this point, [npc=99186] should have expended Righteous Inspiration + Attack. If not expended, bring in Shimmershell Snail as a buffer to eat the combo while you try to whittle its health down.

Bring in Rapana Whelk. Use Absorb until [npc=99186] KOs.

For Roboteer I used

Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling (1,2,2)
Clockwork Gnome (1,1,1)
Lil' Bling (2,1,1)

I just did the normal attacks with each pets.
Decoy > Thunderbolt > Breath until thunder is up again. I could only use Decoy once
Turrets > Metal Fist until Turret is back
Make it rain > inflation (Blingtron Gift Package if the bird is up)

I didn't get the impression this is RNG dependant, but I'm not sure as this was a one-shot for me.
