Terrorpene Needs a New Name for his New Evolution (Poll)

Hey Petopians

I need some help.
Back when Cata was new, I saw a turtle that I finally wanted to claim. He stood out from others, and was about the only turtle I liked, and needing a tank, went after the rare elite Terrorpene.

After hitting 81, it wasn't 20min did he spawn in the lava pits, challenging every ounce of survival I had. It felt as if he wanted to fight me. Between fighting him, fighting two horde that swooped in horde trying to tame him as well after a few minuets of me trying, and those darn lava pits... he gave me one hell of a ride. I did manage, at level 81 to tame that angry beast, and thus stuck with him since.

He's a beast all around, and always gives me the feel of a rough, tough, tank that doesn't back down from anything.. and I mean anything. This boy has tanked three world bosses in Cata, multiple times.. wrath raid bosses, whole raids, heroic dungeons in Cata... I feel sometimes he's just unstoppable (even though that may just be the turtle fact) It's his overall demeanor.

However, lately he's flame has been cooling. I feel more attached to 'organic' beasts rather then elemental ones. Hence why I had a hard time bonding with a few that resembled such. Terror, though... well he holds a special place - not his skin of colors and fire no.. the turtle all around.

So, Veph's idea made me feel the same way - maybe it's time he evolved into a dragonturtle...
Though, he needs a name fitting for his new shell. Something I can get a feel off of both his old molten self, and his new Dragonturtle body.

I've called him Terror many of times, but it doesn't sit just right. I mostly base my pets names off of some sort of mythological aspect. So, any help for a brute of a turtle with a bad attitude would be greatly appreciated :D

PS: He more then likely will be morphing into Bloodtooth if I can find him e.e

Maybe the name Igneous could be befitting? ;)

Charcoal is an enjoyable name, though I might use that for another Terrorpene that's on my boyfriend's hunter :D

Igneous I really like. It describes perfectly what became of the molten turtle :)

Ao, A'tuin, Te Honu are all great names, but I'm not sure if they fit this Terror's demeanor. They seem noble, creatures of legend, not like grumpy hostile Terror :D Though I might be using one of those names for my second Hunter's Turtle once I find one that suits her :D Thank you!


As for the weapns
Kilrak, Jaws of Terror
Loshan, Terror Incarnate

I have to say I never thought of naming him after one, but that did spark an idea. I tried calling him Loshan, but it didn't seem to sit right. Kilrak did a little more, but I'm not too sure. both great suggestions tough :3

Sheldon... it reminded me of a pokemon ^_^;
It5 is a good name though.


One that I did think of was Testudo : In Ancient Roman warfare, the testudo or tortoise formation was a formation used commonly by the Roman Legions during battles, particularly sieges.

I was thinking of the Spartan's defense system. However, they used a phalanx (at least I think).

Not sure how well that would sit though. However, I am liking Testudo as well. Now, perhaps a poll....

Testudo is my vote cause it translates into 'tortise' and cause the Uruk-hai used it in LotR :P

And the Votes have it :)
Testudo will be his new name, and he will take Bloodtooth's skin in Cata :D

...
and I promised myself no rare hunting until 90... don't think that's going to happen x.X
