Of Digsites and Fake Spikes: Jez Tames a "Slurpasaur"

So I finally obtained the Pterrordax Hatchling today from Archaeology-ing, and I felt like taming a thematic pet to match 'em.

Originally, I was going to tame a green raptor, or use Reptar (my green Devilsaur) to be alongside this new addition to my ministables. (Un)fortunately, my Ravasaur Hatchling works too perfectly to pair either one with anything else.

A Crocolisk or Turtle could work too, but I'm normally picky about having duplicate families in my stables. Besides, they'd just take up precious stable space, and BURNiNATOR (my Terrorpene) or Flubber (my CrocoSlime) would likely be jealous if I tamed another.

Then it struck me: I should tame a Warp Sta- I mean, uh, Slurpasaur!

No, this isn't a random name. There is, indeed, a method to my madness.

By definition, a "Slurpasaur" is an optically enlarged reptile with fake, glued-on spikes, fins, frills, etc. used to portray a dinosaur in older movies. And to me, the Warp Stalker really looks like one of these aforementioned B-Movie creatures.

I mean, seriously, I could probably recreate One Million B.C. within WoW using my new Warp Stalker. Just look at 'em.

As an added bonus, he reallly seems to have his own little personality, wiggling his "eyebrows" when sitting still, and sniffing the air every few moments, like he's looking for something... :3

Well, this is Slapperfish signing off, until next tame!

P.S. Coming back to edit and proofread my own thread, Slurpy's facial expression in the first image suddenly prompted me to make this:

Slurpy looks at this new troll like it's food.

That's what i thought when I saw the two pics where Slurpy is looking at you.

As always, another entertaining tale of a witty fish and his pets.

Congrats on Slurpasaur!

That is the cutest green warpie I've ever seen. Seriously.
