Re: Random Pet Challenge [v4.0]
First of all, way back in time, Karathyriel used to have a saddled wolf too, for a rather short period of time.
It was the Saddled Black Worg way back in TBC times.
Why did I tame one although everyone knows that Kara always went his yellow lynx?
Because I had a mount that looked exactly like the worg! And back then, hunter pets despawned as soon as you mounted up and reappeared when you got off your mount.
So I had a macro that I used for mounting and demounting, saying that "Karatyriel jumps on the back of his worg" or "Karathyriel jumps off the back of his worg."
I thought it funny to actually have the same companion for riding and fighting.
But I did dismiss the worg pretty soon when I got tired of all the whispers like "How do you ride your pet?" or "How did you tame your mount?"
Seeing the model just gave me a big grin and a huge flashback of funny memories...
Anyway...
So Bhando went and tamed himself a mount!
Immediately after taming I already knew, these two won't get BFFs!
The Wolf just looks way to 'orcy', if you know what I mean. It just doesn't fit to a Troll in general or Bhando in paticular.
The wolf, I named him Maiyun for no special reason, is a solid pet.
I didn't experience any problems while hunting the beasts of Nagrand.
Unfortunately, I almost only play solo and absolutely despise PvP, so I ran no dungeons or no battleground with him.
Then, all of a sudden, Maiyun developed a strange behavior:
He walked on the right side of Bhando instead of the left!
Whatever I did, this behavior did stick with Maiyun for about 10 minutes, then he switched sides again as if nothing ever happened.
In all those ~10 years of playing WoW and Hunters, no pet ever did that! EVER!
That is why I decided to keep him in my stables instead of releasing him again. Maybe he does it again?
So, for all of those who like the idea of a saddled pet and do like the draenor wolves, this sure is one good alternative to the usual pets tamed by hunters.
But I have to admit, I was very, very glad, almost a relief, when I saw Rapashi back at Bhandos side. They just belong together.

Re: Random Pet Challenge [v4.0]
I looked up the available ones, and decided to try to go for Taladorantula. It's a vignette I'd never gotten before, so I figured it might be fun. I'm into unique pets like that, even if the model itself isn't unique. I wasn't sure exactly which spiderlings I was supposed to smush, but I eventually read on wowhead that it helps to have critter nameplates. So, I began smushing them with my mount.
It didn't take too long for Taladorantula herself to appear, and she wasn't too pleased. I figured she would be large, but my goodness, she's enormous! (Technically this picture is the second Taladorantula that spawned, as I tamed the first one but forgot to take a picture.)
I quickly settled on the name Vengeance, since she spawns after you smush a ton of her babies.
Her name is also perfect for PvP, and she's a spider so she's naturally already pretty good at that with that handy web spray. So, off we went to do some battlegrounds!
Afterward, I figured I should get started on the new Dalaran questline. Here we are in good ol' Karazhan. It brings back memories..... She also seems right at home here.
Once we finished that, I headed to the Molten Front to do some dailies (trying to finally acquire that hippogryph). She ran over this puddle of lava and I noticed she looked kinda cool, so I went back and took a pic of it. I think this is my favorite one from tonight.
Lastly, I took her to the Isle of Giants to get more dino bones and a primal egg.
Probably best if we don't anger Oondasta.....
So, the verdict: I rather like this gal! I've already got a spider (Naphtali); but oddly enough, before this challenge, I'd been taming random lava spiders in the Molten Front because I guess I just felt like I wanted another one? For some reason I always feel bad taking Naphtali into PvP where she gets hurt. She is best suited for PvE activities where we can keep each other safe. Vengeance, however, seems right at home in PvP, so I think I will keep her specifically for that. I'm also quite fond of the fact that she's a special spawn, it makes her more endearing to me. And while I didn't really think I cared much for the bone spiders in particular (though I think they're cool, just not for me), this coloration is particularly pretty. I really like the oranges and reds and such in addition to the black. So, everything about her - from the spawning to her new name - really comes together for me, and I think she's a keeper.
Unfortunately, I forgot to get swimming and combat pics (I always forget in the heat of combat), but I really like the spider animations in this game. When they swim, they kinda look like an octopus. XD They're not too noisy, making little hiss noises, and I think their idle animations are cute with their little pedipalps twitching about. They often seem to have an air of curiosity about them. Oh and if I remember correctly, when you run through snow, they make itty bitty spider footprints!
Thanks for reading, and for the new friend!

Yes, it's written in the first post that every time you want a new roll to please fill out the form each time. Just makes things easier for me when I'm skimming for new requests.Karathyriel wrote:Do we have to apply for each new pet separately?
If yes, I want one!
Edit: Rhyela, I like your new friend! The picture of her as a giant kinda gave me the heebie jeebies, but she's very pretty. Love the pic of her over the lava.

Rhyela(Dansen):
Purple Spider
Spiders just really like you. If this proves to be too hard to find since the only one in the 1-10 bracket is a rare, let me know and I'll give you a new roll.
