This is a really awesome, brain picking question. :3 As for me, my pets would be-

Pantalaimon (Loque) ~ He's the whole reason I made my Hunter and started camping rares. She wouldn't even exist without him!

Toothless (Gezz) ~ I really loved the model for Warpies, but it just broke my heart that I didn't even roll my Hunter until after she was hotfixed. It totally made my day when I found out she was tamable again!

Boombox (Green Silithid) ~ I NEVER thought I'd grow to love a Starship Troopers-esque bug, not after being scared of the movie as a kid. But the way this bug jumps around so playfully makes it hard not to love him. :D

Bowser (Terrorpene) ~ This is mostly because, to me, this guy symbolizes my unity with the guild I'm in. The GL and his girlfriend both came out to help me get him, and I'm pretty certain that because of that I have my server's first Terrorpene tame.

Grimmjow (Magehunter) ~ Blue is my FAVORITE color and I really love the details the Runed Demon Dogs have.

Chesterliver (black bear). No questions asked. When I'm not using him I have my Dun Morough cub out.

Brophy (my Skoll)

Edwin (black devilsaur)

Khorium (my Nuramoc) in the hopes that their AE eventually gets less buggy ...

TimeLapse (my Chromag) for the buff, and the fact that hiding in the corner during TL Chromag with Chester's namesake was some of the most fun I ever had playing WoW. =D

Hmm... Hard to pick...

For Durana;

Image
Zephiel
This guy is just special to me. I spent to long hunting him and went though a lot of crap doing so. I can't imagine him not being at my side any more. Nothing more needs be said.

Image
Balaur
I love this guy. And at first, I wasn't too sure if I wanted him at all. I was going mostly for the challenge that taming King Krush had at the time; to see if I could solo tame the great green dinosaur. When I did find and tame him I wasn't sure if he looked right by my side, then I wasn't sure if I liked his name. But a different name felt strange and another Devilsaur colour felt out of place. Balaur will always be Balaur, I won't have him any other way.

Image
Om
I have two turtles at the moment, the old and wise Om and the young and firey Balrók. It's a VERY hard choice between the two of them... But Om has seen everything, had calmy rushed head first to face any foe. Although he's currently taking a well deserved break inside my stables, he'll always be my number one tank.

Image
Khopesh
I can't believe how quickly I fell in love with the new brainbugs. Khopesh is just so full of life, I love his little movement animations.

Image
Domino
This last slot is so hard to fill, jsut because I lvoe so many of my pets. But this girl just manages to scrape it. Ever since BC, I loved the look of the white outlands windserpets. I always hoped it would become a tamable model. Imagine my surprise when they were confirmed as such in Zul'Drak. For some reason, I never got around to taming her before The Shattering. No clue why, she's lovely and I'm proud to have her by my side.



On Slumlost, it's a different matter. As much as I love my little goblin guy, he has yet to level up much. Still, he'll get there eventually. And he already has one pet who he'll never abandon.

Image
Trip
Slumlost has quite a rich backstory, which I need to write up one of these days. Trip has been Slumlost's companion for as long as he can remember, and the brown fox will remain that way. He just fits perfectly standing next to Slum. That and foxes are just so fun to have as pets. :)

Chromaggus

Kri

Ghostcrawler

Stabby (The Lone Hunter, with knife! This is a toughy though, because I really like my oil-stained worg as well.)

Terrorpene

There are pets I would hate to lose, though. My 3 other spirit beasts (Skoll, Gondria, Arcturis), my Judge Dred (soloed reg Drak'Tharon at 80 for the hell of it and ended up taming King Dred <3), Pitch (oil worg), and many more.

uggg, this is so hard! I don't knwo what 5 I would keep, but I know 3 that would not be moved!

Image
Deadbone: He has been with me since WoW first started! I could never leave him! (yes there was a time when my bro abandonded him for a nether ray, but we got past that!)

Image
BangaGong: My first BM tame! He's my raid pet and epic looking!

Image
Sloth: I became attached, what can I say?

The others, I don't know 100%, but I'd have to maybe say:

Image
Liberace: He's good with that sunder armor and a fine looking pet!

My five would have to be...

Image
1. Rhino. I have more than one beetle, because I think they are cute and pretty, but Rhino is my fav. I think it's his color combination - blues and purples are so great together. I just love the beetle family. Great tanks.

Image
2. Hooligan. He's.... so... POOFY. And he matches my hunter's hair and eye color. Didn't even camp him, just ran into him the same night I dinged 85.

Image
3. Guinness. I felt so smart for figuring out to use the core hound haste ability before taming her - usually I have to look these sort of things up. She leveled through half of Northrend and all of Cata content with me. She was so cute swimming in Vashj'ir.

Image
4. Brouha. I had the hardest time settling on a wolf model. I couldn't get my number one fav, Old Cliff Jumper, and so I spent the longest time "trying on" all the other models and colors. On a whim I tamed Bjomolf, since I hadn't really run around with a saber worg before, and he just sort of clicked... even though he's pretty funny looking. I've grown quite fond of him.

Image
5. Doofus. It's a giant pink chicken. What's not to love?

First, I'd like to say that if Blizzard ever did something like this to my main, I would quit WoW.
I'm sorry but I've spent way too much time camping to ever have my stable shrunk down to 5 again.
My stable consists of mostly rare spawns. My babies. :(

Anyway, since it's only hypothetical, here's my 5 (in no specific order, mind you):

Image
-Loque'nahak (LilPwner)
~My most-wanted pet since I started playing. I always keep LilPwner with me. Always.

Image
-Karoma (Snoodle)
~The reason I became a hunter was because I saw a picture of the original ghost wolf and fell in love.
I said "I'm making a hunter and I am going to get that wolf when I'm high enough level."
Guess what, they got rid of it just before I hit the level to tame it.
Still I kept on and now have Karoma. She stays with me always also as a reminder of how hard I've worked and all I've accomplished.


Image
-King Krush (Reptar)
~My most recent baby. I wanted him forever because 1) Green is my favorite color
and 2) I adore dinosaurs.
Everytime I went to Sholazar I'd never see him spawn. I eventually gave up camping.
One day (monday before Christmas this past year) I flew out there just to see if he was around. NPCScan went off and I targeted him just in time to see someone was halfway through killing him. Oh man I was so devastated. I sat and just stared at his dead body for a good 20 or so minutes with a blank mind. Couple days later I decided to try again. He was in the same spot, and nobody was there. After one fear I tamed him and he's been my DPS partner in Heroics since. I luff him ^_^

Image
-Old Cliff Jumper (Remus)
~My DPS partner through ICC. He's always with me. He's become my mascot almost. People from my guild, other guilds, pugs...anyone I've ever come across have commented on my pet and his name. Asked where I got him and I don't know if it's because no one has tamed him or no one uses him, but I've never seen anyone else on my server with him. He's my buddy. (:

Image
-Humar (HuMaR - creative, I know ;) )
-My very first rare spawn pet. I got him at level 23 (same as him) and have had him ever since.
I was SO UPSET when they took away his Elite status when you moused over him. That made him so much more special because now you can just tame Pitch in Sholazar. [BRING BACK OUR ELITE STATUS ON OUR PETS T_T /end rage]
He's now only special to me, but I've had him for so long, I'll never leave him behind.


That was like, the hardest decision I've made in a long time.
I have so many pets in my stable that I would be depressed to lose. Seriously. :cry:
I know most people would find it pretty pathetic to hear someone would be sad about losing a virtual pet,
but cmon, you're all hunters. You know what I mean. You camp that pet for days/months/ sometimes even years and when you finally get it, it's just that HUGE rush of accomplishment and you just wanna stand in the middle of Orgrimmar (or in the past it would be Dalaran) with your pet out and just wait for people to notice it. Or maybe that's just me :oops: But yeah, I'd totally quit if I had to lose any of my pets.
I'm currently hoping to get MORE stable slots. 25 filled up too fast. >_>

Being a Hunter is like Pokemon.
I gotta tame em all!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Even the THOUGHT makes me shudder >.> I mean, I would need five slots JUST for my wolves o.o Or more!! I am a wolf person at heart, I wish I could get an Old-World color changer Worg covering all colors lol. I'm gonna want the brown, I already have white & gray (OCJ), and I wish I could have a pale gray too... I have a Snarler skin, and Ramparts wolf... >.>

But interesting exercize... and although I love MANY of my pets, I'll take the five I use the most, I spose.

1. Shiver
(Karoma)
Image

I power-levelled to 85 to get this wolf first on realm (just to avoid competition, not for LOL FIRST). Pretty sure I was Horde's first 85 hunter, and probably 2nd on realm overall, JUST to get her. Not to mention realm-first tame, too (it wouldn't be the first spirit beast I did that for, but I made a hunter to get this skin originally, and deleted that hunter & remade orc when I found out it'd been made untameable the first time!!). I love this beasty, pixels or not, and well, she's amazing in PvP too. And PvE. :D

2. Talisman
(Lord Lakmaeran)
Image

This is Lord Lakmaeran. The first time I found & fought him, he was a raid boss in Feralas, on an island full of elite chimaeras that is now sunk beneath the sea :( He was extremely powerful, very hard to kill and I died twice in the tame attempts. He is my oldest pet, and I still have respect for the boss he once was. He is also my favorite PvP pet, with a constant snare, constant speed increase, massive flappy wings... He's also gorgeous, with my favorite color (that rich royal blue) over his neck, and a beautiful blue plume of fire that he learned (last patch ;) ) to spout on command!

3. Ochre
(Shango)
Image

I find it hard to justify keeping a cat if I'm keeping a Spirit Beast, but by God I love this kitty. Always wanted this skin on this model, and I love his personality and his looks. He's just drop-dead gorgeous, and the overall personality comes across as solid and strong. I love it to death :D

4. Banshee
(Gezzarak the Huntress)
Image

She's my tank, and a solid one at that. I'd prefer the "racial" of a beetle or turtle for tanking, but I don't love 'em as much, so I'll keep this girl. I love the personality and looks both, and I'm often trying to find excuses to bring her out ;D

Last Spot--Tie?!

Valak
Image

I love this guy. I just don't get a chance to use him often :(

Grim, Windbiter, Thrakk or Snarler
ImageImageImageImage

Three of these have great stories behind them, but I won't go into it--suffice it to say, I've had some of them for a very long time and love them all.

Chaos
Image

Used him maybe once since I got Shiver (Karoma) and that was for a screenshot--but I still love him! :(

Azzam - Part of me is shocked that Azzy would make my final 5 list, when he's a pet I never would have liked in the past, but the other part isn't surprised at all. That's just how much this kitty has become important to me.
I had to edit to say, that is SOOO sweet. >.< I remember reading about you taming him, he was the one that kept hitting you in Sholazar on the rock, right?

"Try", I think, is the word. If I remember right, Veph was evading or dodging or something like that, but he just wouldn't give up. :P I loved that story.
