[132221] Tortolla-model tameable turtle (not a rare!)

Unread post by Wain »

I should have remembered this one sooner...

Quite a while ago I went through Blackfathom Deeps and suggested that Ghamoo-Ra, the turtle boss in there, be given the ancient turtle model. It turns out now he has!

While not as flashy as Terrorpene, it's nice to know this model is now tameable. :)

I like it a lot. Obviously not as cool as Terrorpene (but then what is?), but I've got a lot of hunters and I'm sure this guy will work just fine for the interim... and/or as another toon's tenacity pet once my main has Mr Lava Turtle. :mrgreen:

Aww, Blizzard is so awesome. ^^ This is great! A really neat model for turtles to have, glad they added this one.

I've submitted suggestions for a number of the rare/named cats (after Jangalian's idea) to give them the riding tiger skins. Unique ones like King Bangalash, Bhag'thera, Duskstalker, Broken Tooth, Shadowclaw, Sin'Dall, Dishu, etc. Hopefully they'll consider that. If anyone else wants to make similar suggestions it might help. ;D

EEEEEEEEEEE! Great suggestion! And I'm SO glad Blizzard put it in! He never looked like a real boss mob before; this is FANTASTIC. I've always liked that instance (on principle!) and felt bad the lil' guy didn't look like more than a normal turtle. SWEET! :D

Ahhhhh!! I was hoping they would make this model tamable as I think its the best turtle model yet. Terrorpene is a bit too flashy for me :P


Better yet, Genbu (my turtle), was just tamed last week and he happens to be Ghamoo-Ra :D

Awesome find!

I know Terrorpene... (terror penis, what?) is quite the flashy fellow but I actually prefer this model! Great to know she'll be an easier find.

Thanks again Wain!

Yeah, he's certainly not flashy, but he has character. He looks old and wizened :)

Yay! I really like this model and I'm so glad they put it in both as this guy (easy to tame) and as the rare Terrorpene. Awesome find, thank you Wain!

When I decided it's time to get a tenacity pet, I went to BFD and grabbed Ghamoo-Ra. BFD is a very special instance for me as it was the first dungeon I ever did. Chapa has become a dear friend for me over the last 1,5 years, and I wasn't going to give her up even for the awsome fiery turtle... and to hear she will gain a special look now it just... Yay!!!

I agree. I'm glad the Terrorpene model is tamable, but I personally don't care much for it. I really wanted this model to be tamable and now here it is.

Pratchett?

Never read that one. I still like Going Postal the best, but I haven't really read that much. But I love Going Postal. x3
