Tuanka Stables help!

Unread post by Lupis »

Title says it all. I have a character whom I'm roleplaying as a Tuanka from Storm Peaks, and he needs pets! Unfortunately, he's only level 75. >.>
As a taunka, I assume it'll be brutish, strong beasts, mostly from cold environments.

Details - he's a wandering artists. He's not good at fighting... At all. In fact, he's downright lame. His pets do most of the fighting for him. He, in the meanwhile, draws. A lot. He's a bit of a coward, honestly.
So I'd assume his pets would be nothing too unique, or else he'd never be able to tame it!

At the moment he has a white jormunger as his only Taunka-like pet.

Anyway, that's really it. Any suggestions?

These came to mind (especially the rhino):

I added the moth just because your Taunka seems so timid, and that particular moth can be found in Borean Tundra, which goes along with his preferred cold climate. ^_^

I agree, a rhino instantly came to mind! In addition to pengupuff's awesome suggestions, may I suggest:

Basically look at the beasts found in zones Taunka inhabit and choose pets from there. Any pet that is only found in Northrend might make a great match.

Some other suggestions:

Any rhino or jormungar worm, as suggested before.

Some very good suggestions thus far, especially the Rhino. A more perfect fitting pet I cannot think of. :3

I'm leaning towards a Blue rhino as his rhino pet. It's a must. (My character's name is Bluefur and he has, well, blue fur. Yes, I know it's a silly name for a RP character... I made him a long time ago.)

The other suggestions are awesome, though! I'll consider all of them.

I adore that tallstrider skin. I think the others pretty much covered a lovely variety of selections. :) If I think of/find something else, I'll post it here.

Went out and tamed a couple of the suggested pets! Here's what I have so far.

Image
Already tamed and one of my faves, Aiyana.

Image
Meh... Not my favorite. Though a white one will probably look better.

Image
I kind of like this one, though he doesn't say Taunka to me.

Image
I really like the idea of a hyena, but I think white would fit him more.

Image
This guy fit a lot more than I expected! I tried out the diseased one as well, but it just didn't fit.

Image
Another one that I like. Mostly because he's so tiny!

Image
Fits perfectly. All his colors match, and what's better than a derp-faced rhino?

Image
Like the turtle, I like this one, but it doesn't say Taunka.

Image
Definitely Taunka, but those wings!

Image
Lovely, and would be one of my favorites, but he drags his butt. :-(

Image
My favorite of the new tames. He matches Blue, somehow.

More to come later!

Sorry for any typos, using my mom's iPad.

What about The Razza over a regular chimaera? I think the colors are very suiting to him. The large wingspan of chimaeras doesn't bother me; but then again, large pets never have. I think big pets are great for PvP; if my enemy can't see around the pet then they have a lesser chance of getting to me. :lol:

But I digress...I think the rhino looks superb with Bluefur and I think that a white hyena and saber wolf should be nice as well.

Image might fit him as well.

And, the rest of the ones... That I can tame. Oh, except a white saber worg and a white hyena.

Image
A pretty blue worg. Very pretty! Matches him well.

Image
The Razza, who I already had tamed. Also pretty - and matches him more than the other, I think. Not very Taunka, though.

Image
Not in the suggested list, but I thought he might match well. I was right. I like him a lot. He seems to match Storm Peaks.

Image
Eh... This guy seems too green for my tastes. Doesn't look right.

Image
Another one I really like, and it seems very Taunka to me, even though there are no foxes in Northrend.

Image
Er... Not really. The white one matched more. Also, I really don't like this model, or rather the skin.

Image
Hmm.. While pretty, I don't think he looks as good as Hell-Hoot.

Image
Preeetttyyyy. I like.

Image
Also pretty. Too white, though, I think I like the blue one more.

Image
Ahhh, I like him a lot. The mane color looks great.

Loving them all so far!!! That rhino should really be his iconic pet - it's like they were made for one another.

Definitely an improvement.

Image
Forgot this one... I like him, too! x.x Too many pets!

Image
Finally, another I don't like. The colors just aren't right.

Just hit 76, taming some more that I couldn't tame before.
Strangely enough, Loque likes me. A lot. Three times I've wanted to find Loque, and every single time, he's been at the first or second spawn point, first time I look. Happened again.
He hates me when I don't intend to tame him, though. He's *never* shown up when I don't want to tame him.

Image
Not very Taunka, either. Maybe the regular white one. I do like it, though.

Image
He matches great! Though, I don't think he'll ever be used in RP, because... um, a spirit beast?

Image
Another one that looks really good. I don't like the model much, but I love how he looks next to Blue.

Only three left. Er, I ruled out some - the Cursed Offspring looked wrong by his side.

What about Duskstalker's model over the regular snow leopard?
