Tamed my first ever tallstrider

Unread post by Qinni »

I've always wanted a tallstrider ever since I made a hunter but I could never bring myself to get one. Until now that is.

I started to look threw which one I could get and instantly thought, "Hey lets get the pink one!" but it just so happens that I didn't click with that color even though I loved pink. I tried white, brown and purple...same problem. Then I stumbled upon Clutchmother which I never knew existed so I did what any other rare hunter would do and search for it! I finally made myself comfy and ready to keep a sharp eye out for her. When I did finally see the Clutchmother I was honestly a bit jumpy! (like when I tamed Banny and Skarr etc) Once I was ready to tame I noticed a red fire ball come out of know where and hit her! It was a worgen mage killing her! They didn't seem to notice me so I hid just incase since you never know who will make your day rotten. It wasn't long before I saw her spawn again and finally tamed her.

I really love this color for a tallstrider and I never had the feeling in abandoning her once. I renamed my wonderful tallstrider to Scooter.

Congrats! She is very cute. I have the pink one on Riz and named her Razzmatazz. I've never clicked with them as a pet before, but those odd, not so little birds can grow on you really fast when you least expect it.

my first ever pet was mazzaranche and I named him Shortshorts. I got him before cata so he was still a unique skin and rare. I still have him to this day and he enjoys life in my stable for the day that I will go out of BM and use regular pets once again.

I fell in love with the flamingo skin ever since i got him.

Grats on your tame!!! :)

I really think every Tauren needs a Tallstrider. (Now they start with one, but before they did...)

Mazzaranche was my first pet...and he's still with me today.

Said like the real Thor.................


Anyway, grats on the Tallstrider! I've always thought about taming one, but haven't done so because I lack the stable slots. If I tamed one, it would be this one. I love the coloration.

Gotta love tallstriders and that screech they do when they go into battle. Look at the way they walk. See? They dont' walk. They strut! They know they're badass.

I tamed Mazzranache back in vanilla when my lil hunter was level 10. There's no way I could ever bring myself to let that fella go. He was my first pet to reach 60 and 70 and the second to hit 80. One of my fondest memories in WoW was pugging an Eye of the Storm match in which the other Horde players dubbed Peck "The Flamingo of Death."

It's like, their only attack. They just run around head butting the FUCK out of anything in their path. If they gave roar of courage I'd use one.

Well, Thor just headbutts stuff and hopes it dies...can't blame him for wanting a similar pet. ;)

Their attack is Dustcloud: http://www.wow-petopia.com/talents/skil ... #dustcloud

They have no attack that is a head butt. You just talking about their attacking emote.

It's their basic attack animation....

I don't see how this is so complicated.

Nothing is ever complicated for Thor. If it is, his head goes boom.... =P

I do think they should have an emote "*tallstrider name* headbutts *mob name*" that'd be cool.
