Before I go any further, I have to share a strange phenomenon with you all - before my nine month break from the game, I absolutely despised all flying pets. I couldn't take the flapping. I thought I still had that problem, since I let my Ban'thalos go shortly after taming him. However, on another random taming night not too long ago I grabbed a condor from Loch Modan, and I actually really like his flying animations. I kept him, but I don't use him much. I did go see if I could tolerate dragonhawks, moths and windserpents now, but alas, they are still a no-go (sad, because I really like a lot of the wind serpents... but their constant flailing drives me nuts). I seem to like the birdie pets now, at least the condor models.
So anyways, last night I ended up in Icecrown, staring at those undead eagles up there. I grabbed one, and then ran around, watching him fly. He has a different way of flying than my condor (it looks like his wings bend more), but I still actually really like they way he moves. Watching him glide behind my motorcycle makes me happy for some unknown reason.
I named him Bones. He really is a neat looking thing. I love all the little details they put into his model. I usually don't go for the undead looking pets, but he's just so neato.
And I discovered something else about him - he sorta matches my transmog outfit. I finally got the polearm I've been wanting for it this morning (the Banner Slicer ), and upon equipping it I noticed the wrapped cloth around it matches Bones' bandages.
His "Snatch" ability is making me want to start PVPing again. I remember how surprising it was when I did a Tol Barad and had my gun snatched away from me!
