Ugh, I cannot express how jealous I am of those of you have have art of your devilsaurs. WTB money for commissions. ;_; There's nothing else I want to commission except somethign with Mia and Krush.
God... just... Krush.
Mia is just not Mia without her beloved devilsaur at her side. I'm actually known on my server because of him, and he's like an extension of me. If someone knows me, they know Krush, and how absolutely in love I am with this dinosaur.
If there's any event that has importance, Krush is there. He's the one I idle with, he's the one I quest with, I raid with, heck, he's even known to tank a thing or two! He's just always there. I have to schedule things for my other bonded pets (for instance, my rhino goes to Wrath mount runs, my cat goes to BT, my scorpid goes to TK, etc.) just so they can get some good use.

Krush just takes up so much of my time, hehe.
I've always loved devilsaurs. Their model is just... really appealing. I love their walk and run animations... the way their toes move. Oh.. and their swim animation! It's pretty much the cutest thing ever!
I remember stepping foot into Un'goro for the first time and seeing these giant beasts, and I also never imagined I'd be able to tame one, but when I heard of them being tameable for Wrath.. oh lord I raced out to Un'goro once I could tame one. And gone were my days of using a wolf or cat! I remember taming black and red, and sticking with red, but then eventually I found King Mosh and tamed him with the help from a priest. I didn't know about King Krush because I didn't really know about Petopia at the time. I'm not sure how exactly I found out about him, but once I saw that devilsaur skin--which I had no idea was already in the database--I was in love. I had to have him.
So, I spent EVERY day circling around Sholazar, mining ore whenever I came across it, then auctioning it off when my inventory was full. I couldn't tell you how many days I spent searching for him, but I had done my research and I was ready. I had a set full of stamina and haste, along with pots and all of that, and I had a crocolisk named NotKrush that would help me bestial wrath. I even had my action bars set up to press what I needed in the right order, going from 1-6 or something, I dunno.

So on August 31, 2009, I'm flying around and some paladin announces in "Lolazar" general chat that King Krush is up, and asks if anyone wants him. So I
somehow managed to type "YES!" in general and then invited him to a group. As I flew over, I told him not to touch him once I was there, because I was damn determined on doing a solo tame. I also told him saying that if I got him tamed I would give him every bit of gold I had. He didn't ask, I just offered. I couldn't pay enough gold for Krush, he's just priceless. But I wanted to make sure this guy wasn't going to be a jerk or something. I had to have this dinosaur. The fly over there was probably one of the most terrifying moments in this game. I literally flew all the way across the zone, all the way to the western spawn location he was at. Once I finally got there, I thought I was prepared, but holy crap I got
so nervous! The whole tame was just a blur of... giant dinosaur on screen, and me being nervous. xD But I ended up with him, first try, and I was just SO thankful. I finally had THE pet.
So, like I promised, I gave the paladin ALL of my gold. First I gave him Mia's gold, then I logged onto all of my alts and gave him there gold. I just could not thank this guy enough for not killing this dinosaur.
I kept the name Krush, because it's just a thing Mia does, really, but I also just really love the name. It's just so fitting for him. He put down his "King" title after Mia proved herself to him. He still likes to flaunt around a bit, but honestly, he couldn't care what title he had as long as his Night Elf is by his side.
Krush will never, ever, ever leave Mia's stable. I remember I used to absolutely
fear getting hacked because I was just so afraid a hacker would abandon Krush, and I didn't know that Gms could restore pets at the time... so holy crap, when authenticators became a thing, I got mine on my iPod as soon as possible. He was just too important to me to risk anything.
I honestly don't know what I'd do without him. He's just been there for so long, and will continue to be there. No other pet could replace the bond we have, I'm absolutely positive of that.
As for Krush's personality... He's a lot like the best dog you could ever have, except with some dinosaur stuff. He's extremely loyal to Mia, and just generally kind to anyone, unless you do something that would cause Mia to be upset or hurt, then... well.... you better watch your back.

He's a ferocious dino, to enemies.
I feel like I can't even describe his importance to me, which seems to be a trend here on this thread.

But there's just something about him that just... it's like magic. You can't explain it properly. There's no language for that.
Well... maybe "Rawr."

*rimshot*
I'm going through my old screenshots... and I'm just grinning because in almost every one Mia is in, he's there with her.
And I'm not going to lie, I totally can relate to not wanting his skin to be common. I don't even have anything against commons... and I can't even put any real logic behind my reasoning... I just feel like it would be wrong. I of course wouldn't love him any less if that were to happen, though. I'd just be really sad. I'm just... so proud of him. <3
This is the first screenshot I took of him tamed. <3
I just love this picture. Mia is totally SMILING about her new best friend! (Fun fact: If you google "King Krush" and go to images, this is the second image listed (just a silly little thing I'm proud of, hehe

)):
Rawr!!
This is how I'm seen idleing every day, Krush, Krash the Ravasaur Hatchling, and me on my Swift Razzashi Raptor:
And here are just two things I've made with WMV and photoshop:
And this was made by Veph after I made a hilarious typo. I use it as my iPhone wallpaper:
I'll post about my alt's devilsaurs later. This post is long enough as it is!
