Post-Stable-Wipe Taming Spree
I looked on Petopia to see if there was anything I haven't tried that I might be interested in, and got a short list. First I went to Outland where I tamed fel boars and ravagers. None of them clicked for me, so I let them all go. I then headed to Zangarmarsh and grabbed a green nether ray, and hung onto it until I went to Blade's Edge and grabbed one of the aether rays. I also tried some of the spiky raptors, but they have this odd little graphical glitch on their throats that I can't un-see.
While there, I stumbled upon a chimaera that I immediately clicked with. I never even thought to try taming one of the yellow ones, I was always dead-set on the green one. However, what I failed to notice is that their eyes are green, and the body color matches my current transmog set quite well. So yeah, instant bond.
Finally, I went to Dragonblight to try a mastiff, and tamed a black one. I then decided to try a brown one, too (I wanted to name it Murphy, which made me think of Murphy Brown, and a brown dog would be better suited for that name). I went to EPL and got myself a brown one. However, when I glanced at its portrait after taming, I could have sworn it said "Doug" instead of "Dog", so that's what I named it.
The nether ray reminded me of how an old guildy used to make fun of my nether ray mount, calling it a UFO all the time. So now, that's what I think of when I see them. My brain flicked to Martian, so I took one letter out and named him Martin.
I tamed many creatures, but three stuck. The chimaera I will definitely keep, but only time will tell if I will keep the other two. And, oddly enough, my chimaera is the one I can't think of a name for. I was thinking something alone the lines of something poisonous or venomous that's yellow, but I don't know why since his ability is frost and electric. >.> I suppose it's because he tried to shoot a poison bolt at me before he was frozen in my trap.
Thanks for reading!

Re: Post-Stable-Wipe Taming Spree
You have such adorable naming conventions! <3 Martin is too cute. The chimaera looks awesome with you, I'm sure the perfect name will settle in on its own. And mastiffs, hee! Love their jowls. ^_^
Re: Post-Stable-Wipe Taming Spree
There is also the yellow-bellied sea snake or Pelamis platura.
Beautiful new pets. All ones you don't see tamed often.
A rare visitor to this forum now that I don't play WoW anymore, but forever a Petopian.

So, as it turns out, Martin truly is a UFO! I thought he looked adorable with his little fins sticking out while we were falling. :3

Re: Post-Stable-Wipe Taming Spree
Its kinda hard sometimes to clear out old friends.
I removed my red chimera when I started a spirit beast spree. I didn't know they were available in yellow. SO many pets so little space. ><

Re: Post-Stable-Wipe Taming Spree
And it's okay, I had forgotten that the Outland chimaeras come in white. I saw them in WMV tonight and was like, "Oh yeah!" We have so many beasts to choose from these days that it can be easy to forget certain skins/colors.

Re: Post-Stable-Wipe Taming Spree
I always tend to make them taller than they are long, so they're not quite as big as most people's, but oh well. And is it just me, or does Martin look extremely happy in that sig?
Edit: I'm trying out the name Marvin instead of Martin. I used to like Marvin the Martian from Looney Tunes, and it hit me all of a sudden so I figured I'd try it out. I can always change it back if I don't like it.
I don't know why, but I'm totally loving this guy. His personality is that he is kind of the underdog. He's not as big and ferocious as some of Rhyela's other pets, so he feels like he has to always give 110% to prove himself. Rhyela doesn't feel that way, of course, she loves her companions no matter what. But, that doesn't stop him from trying. He's always so proud when he helps defeat an enemy, especially the bigger ones. Oh, and apparently he loves to skydive.
