Am I the only one who wants a celestial pet?

Unread post by pop »

I mean just imagine if you can tame a scorpid made of stars akin to the celestial steed or the newly leaked image of the celestial serpent? named Scorpio? Or a rare mob(celestial human) named Orion with his pet celestial dog named Sirius?

I tend to associate celestial things in the game with the Titans, so I don't really wanna see them as being tamable by hunters. Just my thought.

I do think celestials make attractive mounts, but I think they make better mounts and minipets than hunter pets. Still, I would be tempted by a scorpion spirit beast!

Do you what's worse? Celestial Steed, a purchasable mount by everyone, yes a titan's mount that can be purchased by anyone lol :P

Speaking of which, can you use the current celestial steed skin unto a tamable beast like a goat? You know, like the one you did in your old thread XD>

Yeah, but I also tend to ignore blizzstore stuff when it comes to ingame lore and such, considering you can also get a Mini Rag pet and such.

Personally I am not a big fan of the celestial mount/pets because of the transparency effect. *shrug* I guess we could have one or two as spirit beasts? I don't know what the developers think about taming Ulduar/Titan related things. Hm. I'd probably tame a celestial stag though, if we had one!

To be completely honest, I'd rather have another solid colour spirit beast like Loque or Skoll next. I'm kind of fed up with everything being transparent lately. :lol:

*translucent...

Also, I must agree, I like the spirit beasts that I have that are translucent, but I very much am getting tired of them all being that way. I am also tired of cats... I want other beasts, serpents, raptors, devilsaurs, silithids, wasps, bats, ANYTHING, just not more cats... 5 is enough I think, at least for now.

I read this thread and all I saw was "celestial bear."

What? :D I'm kidding! Obviously, that'd be too close to Arcturis.

It's funny, I like the concept, but I'm not sure I'd actually want to tame one. I mean, if Algalon returned and brought his dog and said "hey, you, mortal, watch my dog for a bit!" I wouldn't say no, but taming an unwilling creature of the stars is a little....I dunno. Beyond me, I guess.

I think it has possibilities as a long term addition, the problem I have with it in the short term is that imo there are already too many transparent/translucent SBs and this would just exacerbate that.

I'd like to first see at least a few more offerings like Skoll / Loque, before we go back to see-thru kitties.

But yeah as a longterm addition I think it could work. :)

A celestial pet would HAVE TO be a spirit beast, without a doubt. Please no more wolf or cat spirit beasts, tho, we have enough of those.

A celestial crab named cancer. Yup


But since this is the MOP expansion, maybe a celestial turtle?

I think one could make a very beautiful spirit beast, but most likely not a pet I'd be interested in taming. I have issues with transparent/ghostly pets. I like mine to be corporeal.

I also think it'd make a neat spirit beast. However, sometimes I feel like the only one who doesn't mind feline spirit beasts. :( A pretty spirit beast is pretty even if it's in a kitty-shaped package!

I absolutely love my cat spirit beasts, but there are so many of them, they tend to lessen the shine and awe of them, not to mention, having so many cats makes me feel like an old lonely woman... (neither old, nor lonely, nor a woman... :lol: ) I think there should be other SB's before we add more cats, just to help spread the variety.

This. The exact beast it would be depends on which constellation you want to reference, but it's a theme I expect to pop up at one point or the other.
