Rare #10: Karkin

[Ziarre]

Plus the spiders are not spirit beasts. It's no different than the different-colored wolf rares, or the different-colored bear rares, that have--gasp--no unique model.

Silly person.

[Comett]

I really like this crab. O:

I'm getting "the bug" to level up Mettle, tame the crab and call it Heavy, and the cat and call it Death. Zz.

For some people, even bad attention is good attention.

[Nubhorns]

Really? ANOTHER crab?

The only reason I liked Ghostcrawler was because he was a ghostcrab. I mean... how much more randomly awesome can you get?! Sure, bring out you spirit bear.. your spirit kitty... your spirit wolf... but i got A SPIRIT CRAB MTFR!

But to see this metallic crab, and a matching metallis cat... I'm sorry but WoW designers are failing.

How about a spirit devilsaur?
Or... another Skoll/Loque type spiritbeast where they are... you know.... NOT INVISIBLE.
Instead..

'Lets make a cool lava-spider! But... so save time... we'll make 4 different coloured ones herp derp.'
instead of...
'How about another Maddexx type pet that sporns in different colours? But a lava spider this time!'

I am pissed and disapointed.

Guys.. do you not read the sign I posted. *points*

DONT FEED THE TROLLS!

Look what I happened to find while exploring up at Fireplume Peak: new rare called 'Karkin'. He's one of the gem-colored crabs, and I've yet to figure out how to get to him. He's waaaaay out on a floating island.

Goblin Hunter with engineering:

Nitro Boosts + Goblin Rocket Jump + Parachute Cloak = win?

I think i've made longer jumps before looking at your screenshot. I would love to test that though since I often try to see what I can jump to (usually failing and falling to certain death)

Because I am ill and in an intolerant mood please do not read on if you don't want to "hear it'.

/start rant
Yah know Dakka. People like you whom are seemingly so ungrateful about everything should have your perks, like 25 stable slots etc, stripped from you. Maybe then you won't have to cry about one little crab being added to the game simply because YOU don't like it. Yah know what, simple solution. DON'T TAME IT. Don't even look at it. You know where it's spawn point is, don't go there. It's pretty f-ing simple. Yeah yeah yeah you're entitled to your opinion and blah blah blah but personally you should keep your opinion to yourself if you one contribution to this forum is going to be your bitching about one crab being added to the game simply because YOU don't like. Oh boo hoo. Thanks for showing this Petopian that your only purpose and reason for being here is to whine and cry like a 5 year old because mommy bought candy for everyone, not just you.
/end rant

Start reading now if you skipped the above. Personally I think this little crab is very cute. I may or may not tame him. I would have to release Ghostcrawler I think. *ponders*

[Kalliope]

You don't actually need to be on the island to tame, which it says later in the post.

Karkin sounds really simular to the name karkat, and seeing how karkat represents the constellation cancer and has a crab lusus.....
did blizzard just make a homestuck reference?

I AM SO TAMING THAT CRAB NOW!

...I am SO glad I'm not the only one who had that as an immediate first thought. (Also lol totally finally making an account just to say that; hello I am a lurker.)

Now why did I ever delete my goblin hunter named Terezí? Curse you, alt-itis!

A goblin named terezi is complete win

I now want to make alts named after trolls
first of all I need to think of a race that would suit nepeta

Goblins can have teal hair/eyes and start with a crab pet. It seemed like a no-brainer. 8D

Hrm, it's too bad there's no real kitty race! Night elf maybe? Cat mounts, start with a cat pet if you go hunter, and can have green hair!

I simply must point out that female trolls have a barber shop only hairstyle that is pretty close to Kanaya's, though. I discovered this on a baby warlock once (who sadly was also deleted in favor of an orc lady, which is a pity because her imp was named Karkol. I totally imagined him screaming at everybody in grey capslock. >_>; )

*cough* But back to topic, omg I am so taming this crab at least on my main. (And possibly remaking/powerleveling Terezi for the explicit purpose of taming it on her too.) It is the only crab skin I have ever wanted! I am super happy now; we're getting both an awesome-looking green spider AND a gemcrab! I can feel my stables inching closer to perfect already!

[rubybeam]

I think i'll do that

it you also notice that the crabs grey, like karkat and the red glowing dot inside could be his exploding anger

the idea of an imp karkat amuses me

[Jäysee]

Don't know if anyone remembers but I suggested for that crab to be in game as a tamable pet! I will find that thread!! Just sayin' lol

Ha! Found it!

True It had been on the untameable skins list for a very long time at that point, however

[Kalliope]

D'awww, he gets bigger when you tame him! And by a significant amount, too! That's so cute!!!! That's awfully unusual for a level 85 beastie.



He's actually quite hilarious to watch sitting there because he doesn't glance around or move like normal crabs, he just sits and stares in one direction.



D'aww....
