First Cata tame! No. The most lucky person on Earth.
So at first, I was like this:
And then, 20 minutes later...
And now!
I'm like this:
I named him Acubens, which is Alpha Cancri, or brightest star in the Cancer constellation. Quite fitting.
Coincidentally, Cancer is my Zodiac sign. Belated birthday gift? :>

Re: First Cata tame! YESSS!
Congratulations on your ding, your turn-around to finding that cutie, and the pet itself! Best belated birthday present. (Or... half-birthday present, if you're a Cancer?)

Re: First Cata tame! YESSS!
Oooh, grats! I love naming my pets after stars, too. I'm a little aggravated that I can't name my Grim Totem Spirit Guide after Sirius, the dog star (since I don't happen to know of any wolf stars XD); I guess pet names can't contain "sir" or any variation thereof. So, despite my distaste for doing so, I resorted to the character map and named him Síríus.
Anyway, grats again on your new baby, he's beautiful! ^ ^

If you don't like it, fix it. If you don't fix it, deal with it.

Re: First Cata tame! YESSS!
Thanks so much, guys!
So far, except for Sirius and Acubens I have Vega, Polaris, Orion, Betelguese (which is a rare Silithid. And you pronounce it Beetle juice, like in that movie... And I only just realised that. *facepalm*) and Regulus.
Sort of star-themed are EventHorizon (has to do with black holes) and Enterprise (yup...)
To be honest, I was guessing it's Harry Potter fans are at fault here, not the Sir, but now that I think of it, you might be right.
Half, I guess, you're right!Wark wrote:(Or... half-birthday present, if you're a Cancer?)

Re: First Cata tame! YESSS!
Yet again, yelling like a Klingon brought results!
TODAY WAS A GOOD DAY TO TAME KAROMA!
I called him Procyon, the brightest star in Canis Minor constellation, since I already called Skoll Sirius. And he is bigger than Karoma.
That's 2/2 Cata Spirit Beasts in two days. I can't believe my luck. I have a sneaky feeling the rest of the pretties will be much more elusive.

I don't know about individual stars, but there is certainly a wolf constellation!Maqueda wrote:... I'm a little aggravated that I can't name my Grim Totem Spirit Guide after Sirius, the dog star (since I don't happen to know of any wolf stars XD)...
I fully agree, though, that the "sir" string restriction is irritating. When was that even implemented? Is it new? I remember way back in vanilla WoW, my Tauren hunter had a cat from Darkshore I really liked, named Sir Prowly. Reluctantly abandoned him when they introduced boars with charge for the first time, and there were only two usable stable slots. When I went back recently to retame Sir Prowly with the awesome new Shadowclaw skin, of course, I realized I couldn't give him the same name as before and felt surprisingly disappointed. :\

BTW, the issue is indeed with the "Sir" being in the name - due to "Sir" being listed as a restricted pet name in that one sticky on this forum.
Yep, talk about highlighting.Taluwen wrote:Awesome! Though it's hard to focus on your new crab with you have a tabard thats a tease...*giggle*

Ok, what the...
What the frak!
This can't be right! Three in two days? Seriously?
Sambas is mine as well.
I called him Rigel, the brightest star in Orion (the hunter!) constellation.
Except now, I'm paranoid. It's unnatural to have this much luck in one day. Am I dying of some giant invisible fat tumor or something? Why would Universe grace me this way if it isn't a compensation for something?
Does this mean I'll be chasing the remaining three rare beasts for the rest of the expansion?
What

Going
On?

Re: First Cata tame! YESSS!
I dislike using special characters, too, but finally resorted to it to name my green wind serpent, Jãde. Why they have a problem with Jade, I have no idea.Maqueda wrote:I'm a little aggravated that I can't name my Grim Totem Spirit Guide after Sirius, the dog star.
