ABOUT DANGED TIME!! GOT MY KITTY!!!!!!
I've had the hardest time trying to get Skarr.
I started camping him as soon as I decided that I had to have him, soon after the front opened up. Got Karken while logging in one day and spotted him. I tamed Karken mostly to practice for Skarr, though I've gotten attached to that sparkly crab.
Anyways, had to go out of town for a week and a half, and when I returned I started to camp seriously. So much I made myself almost sick staying up too late-so I decided to just take a break and check off and on. But... I get waaaaaayyy too focused on things and it is hard to stop some times (I would call it OCD some), so my 'not camping' didn't work that well, and I'd find myself camping again, though I would work on other things while doing so.
In all the time I was camping, I've spoken to some 30-40 hunters who would run by, camp alongside me or whatnot, from both sides. Some of whom recognized me from the forums here, which is a bit odd. Do I ramble on that much eh? I put each on my friends list, so if I spotted the crab I could let them know if they were on, and so if, after I get my Skarr and see him up again, I could let them know as well. Talked shop with many, and found a number of people who didn't know how to do the tames, so I would tell them how it was done. I would even stop camping to go help others out with Deth-or try my hand at him myself, though Skarr was my biggest goal.
Every spawn I would see would be of the crab, except one, which someone I had taught had gotten. Oh I felt bad then, angry at myself for teaching them, and angry at myself for being angry that I had taught them, it is a game and I should just chill, yes?
So I decided to log in and out at his spawn point. I would check, and if I was doing some web surfing or such, I'd camp with wow in the background while I did other things.
Today I camped for about an hour this way while waiting for the friend and chatting off and on with the other long term campers. apparnetly there had been a spawn about 6 hours before and so everyone was waiting for the spawn again. I gave in when my friend logged and went to work on my molten front dailies. I was in the middle of killing those dogs in the lava flow tunnel place, with Hatsu, my Ban'thalos, when I get a whisper from that one hunter who'd gotten the only Skarr spawn that I had seen. They'd felt bad getting him first before, and I had told them to take him if they saw him, to be fair.. But I had also been pissed with him when he got him-and told him I was angry and had to take a break before I got mean, so he was the last person I expected to whisper me telling me that Skarr was up!!!
Gah the run from the flue all the way to those floating stones my hands were shaky. Tried to make them stop while I changed specs to MM and then started jumping up the stones. Am so surprised I didn't fall to my death as I normally do!!
I get up there, and yes, he really is up! So I tame and just sit there for a few moments in shock. All this time, all those chances, and I finally got him!
I named him Holic, as it is a suffix that "denotes addiction to a substance or activity," which is a pretty darned good description of my determination to get him.
I don't have to camp any more!!!
I know he is just a bunch of pixels in a game, but I was wanting this cat as much as I wanted Loque originally, and Loque was the reason I made my first hunter when I started to play the game!
So yay! And thanks to you guys for continuing to encourage me-both here and in game! And a huge thanks to the hunter who let me know he was up!

My Skarr (Samhain...I call him Sammy), is by far my favorite pet. I take him everywhere! Can't wait til everyone stops being immature in Molten Front so I can get Deth ( I want her to join my purple/paranormal themed pets). Good luck to all hunters trying to tame their dream pets. I'll keep a look out for you
