Re: Random Pet Challenge [v4.0]
my subscription on that account runs out tomorrow and right now I don't have the money to renew it, I will try to make my report tonight but I can't promise anything, if not I will make it as soon as I'm able to renew, as stated above I've tamed my raptor so what's left is running a dungeon or two, do some questin and such.

Re: Random Pet Challenge [v4.0]
The only one available for this level bracket is in Tirisfal Glades, so off I went! I was only level 10, and on a PvP server at that, so I didn't expect the trip to be easy. However, surprisingly it was. I saw a couple Horde characters, but they left me alone. The hard part was actually just finding the spider. It seemed like she was never there. But after about three days of logging on and off to check for her, she was finally up, and I got her without a hitch. (Had to get out of there ASAP though...)
I pretty much knew as soon as I was assigned this critter that I'd like her. The purple and red spiders are my two favorite colors. I tried to name her Jenny, but the name was reserved for some reason, so I went with Penny since it rhymed. I always see spiders as female for some reason.....
We've done a lot together in these ten levels. We've idled about town:
Done some PvP:
Invasions:
And just general questing:
I just can't get over how pretty she is! I especially love her reddish-pink glowing eyes.
I also find their swimming animation a mix of creepy and adorable!
She's always reliable for me, even though she dies pretty easily in invasions and really anytime something focuses her (even in PvP if I'm not paying attention). However, all pets have this problem at the moment so I wouldn't dare blame her for it. Her combat animations are pretty straightforward, with lunges and hisses. I enjoy pets that aren't always overly noisy or flashy. She's just a solid, fun, pretty girl, and I would definitely recommend this model for anyone looking for spiders. They're vanilla, but I feel they're one of the ones that don't necessarily show their age as much as other beasts.
Tonight was somewhat bittersweet, as I have to stable her to make room for my next challenge pet. Dansen's surely going to miss his pretty little Penny.
(Sorry for the lack of pic editing, I had a lot and didn't feel like going through them all.)
Now, time for my next challenge!
Name: Dansen
Level: 20
Exotics: Yes
Restrictions: Pet level between 11 and 20, please. (And please no more spiders for now! )

Nef, no worries.
Rhyela: Wow, Penny is gorgeous! That spider color is so amazingly pretty.

I know this guy is a rare and a little outside the level range you gave, but I thought I'd post him anyway. Let me know if you'd prefer a different roll.

Re: Random Pet Challenge [v4.0]
I'll get my level bumped up and then stalk the Plaguelands!
/charge
Edit: Tamed tonight. Eastern Plaguelands was all but abandoned so I killed 3 other (non pet) rares on the way to him, but there he was meandering around the foothills like he'd been waiting on me to show up! Will update with a proper report soon.

Re: Random Pet Challenge [v4.0]
I'm afraid, I don't have time to play right now and actually decided to not get Legion.
I did tame this little guy but had no time to run with him.
Also, I did cancel my subscription, so if anyone wants to take on this pet, I probably won't.
Sorry.

Re: Random Pet Challenge [v4.0]
After wandering my way through an abandoned Plagueland, I found the little brown sporebat wandering around the foothills looking entirely too lonely. After a quick, easy tame with no real fuss I decided this was already meant to be. And thus Squishy became my Squishy!
I actually wasn't expecting to really enjoy the sporebat family, although I'm not sure why. I think I always found their faces and shapes a little too silly to think of them as anything menacing. But after watching Squishy make her mark on the Alliance teams in PvP, I'm actually pretty happy with how fun they are. No one really targeted her, since there's nothing less menacing than a little spore cloud with happy lights for a face. But their mistake was our gain, and I actually found myself enjoying PvP.
I'm not sure how much energy I'll put into this character with all that I've got to do on my main's, but as I run around on him I find myself enjoying actually bonding with the pets rather than having to worry about which class family ability is most beneficial. It's freeing in a way, and with petemote I really get to enjoy their personality.
Now to go out and find Squishy a playmate! Maybe something a little less fungal-y... I'm never gonna get these spores out of my armor.

Re: Random Pet Challenge [v4.0]
I headed to the Deadmines by myself, where he was the only one of this color that I saw. The tame was pretty easy at my level. I'm going with human names, so I settled on Rocky for this guy.
While the model itself is just okay in my opinion, this particular color is my favorite of the bunch since its eyes are black and not quite so crazy-looking.
As with my spider Penny, I've taken Rocky to several places and done several things, including sitting around town:
Doing some battlegrounds, where his small size and dark coloration seemed to help him not get beat as much as my very purple, very obvious spider (which was nice!):
Here we are in Blackfathom Deeps, where I also sorta got a swimming shot, but it's super dark and not very helpful (sorry!):
The swimming animation isn't anything flashy or exciting, he just kinda swims like a humanoid.
Dance party!:
His combat animations boil down to various slaps and smacks:
His family ability, Primal Agility, is okay (increases dodge chance by 30%). For damage reduction it's not horrible, but the cooldown (2 minutes) on it is longer than other pets with damage-reducing abilities (like turtles with Shell Shield with a CD of 1 minute, for example). So again, it's okay, but nothing to write home about.
For the most part, monkeys are okay pets. Not great, not horrible. HOWEVER, their combat sounds are probably a deal breaker for me. The constant whooping and screeching was pretty irritating, and I was back in range. I honestly felt bad taking him into dungeons where my melee group members had to listen to that constantly. No one said anything, but I still felt bad about it. For that reason alone, I probably wouldn't use him in group content. Also, his running animation is a little strange, because his body is positioned diagonally but he runs in a straight line. It's really weird, but unfortunately I didn't think to get a picture of it.
Soooo, the verdict is that I probably won't use him after Dansen reaches max level. I left Rocky in my stable for now since I have tons of space, and I suppose I'll probably hang on to my challenge pets, but I'd definitely use Penny over Rocky any day. However, if someone really wanted to tame a monkey, I would recommend this color since I think it's the most natural, and the eyes won't give you nightmares.
Time for my next challenge pet!
(Excited because it feels like it's been a while.)
Name: Dansen
Level: 30
Exotics?: Yes
Restrictions: Pets between 21-30 please, and no mechanicals (still not ready for another spider or monkey yet, either)

Re: Random Pet Challenge [v4.0]
For you, Rhy, I'm going to keep from duplicating your challenge families. I think there's enough families with the way you're doing it to keep you from getting more than one family. The only challenge might be the level restrictions, but I'm not worried about it. This is a totally fun request, and I can totally see getting bored if it kept rolling you cats or something. And this way Dansen is guaranteed a varied stable. ^_^
