My assignment for Verica was the orange and red dragonhawk or the red tarantula. Since Verica is a blood elf and started with the orange and red dragonhawk, I decided to go for the red tarantula.

My search took me to Loch Modan, home of the dwarves. There were a -lot- of elementals around. No wonder the spiders all seemed to be hiding behind trees! Big fire dudes would creep me out too.
Finally I managed to get close enough to tame one of these beauties. I noticed even during the tame how well the spider stood out against the green grass.


The first thing I noticed AFTER taming was that this spider was never still! Tap-tap-tap went her legs, like she was speaking Morse code. Her glossy leg joints looked almost like little eyes, and her bristles looked almost painfully sharp. I wish they'd update her model though- her eyes look like flat red circles, more like markings than actual eyes. She has a lot of promise though! With a little TLC I think she'd make a beautiful, striking model. I named her Belle. <3

Here we are fighting in Stratholme, live side. She liked biting Commander Malor's butt. >_>



And the two of them after the instance. I think they look pretty in this lighting.



That being said, I am not sure I'll keep Belle. I have a spider from the level 10+ draenei area that I'm absolutely in love with. But I'm glad I tamed her- she was my first tarantula model and gives me a lot of hope for the future- if they add an updated model, that is!

I am level 47 now and would love another roll!

[TygerDarkstorm]

If you would like another roll, please fill out the roll request form again.

[Maunkitten]

No problem, sorry about that!

Sorry but we are having some family problems and i have to put down this challenge

[Maunkitten]

My hunter Verica was tasked with taming the white worg or the red hyena! After seeing that the white worg was only available as a rare for my level, I almost gave the red hyena a shot. But then I thought better of it.. I flew to Felwood with my fingers crossed. Nothing. I decided to fly down to Mulgore to see if Ghost Howl was there.



Finally I spotted him! I couldn't believe it, he looked so luminous and radiant in the light.



The tame went off without a hitch. I tentatively named him Morgenstern, which means 'morning star' in German, but it may well change. I CANNOT get over how much I love how radiant he is. His deep golden eyes just add to the magic!



Morg is here to stay! He even matches my favorite riding wolf! Where have you been all my life, wolfie?!

[Maunkitten]

Let's try a roll for my bigger hunter! *dance*

Name: Anouska
Level:88 (can roll for 89)
Exotics: Sure thang!
Restrictions: None! That's the fun of it, right?

[TygerDarkstorm]

Apologies for not updating this recently, I'm hoping to get the roll out soon. Thanksgiving is huge for grocery stores so I'm really swamped with real life stuff at the moment.

[Maunkitten]

No problem at all! I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. ^_^ I think it's awesome of you to do this at all!

[TygerDarkstorm]

I got a little bit of free time today so roll coming out. I want to wish everyone (who celebrates it) a Happy Thanksgiving and I hope you all have a wonderful, and safe, holiday.

Also Maun, I hate doing this, but since I've brought it up with others, it's only fair to keep this challenge consistent; the reports are intended to be more in depth then "I went and found the assigned pet, I liked or hated it. The end." If you haven't read the front page for some of the suggested ways to test your pets there, I'd recommend looking through there or other people's reports. Sorry to be a bother.

Maunkitten(Anouska):
Turquoise Tallstrider

[Malanade]

Name: Malanade
Level: 90
Exotics: Yep, go ahead!
Restrictions: I have all of the spirit beasts :I

[TygerDarkstorm]

Malanade:
Brown Crocolisk

[Maunkitten]

No way dude, I totally understand. As sheepish as I feel now that I realize how meager my submission was, the best submissions I've read had detail about lighting, swimming, etc. All of which I loved!

My future reports will strive to be what I admire in other submissions. I'm glad to see how committed to quality this forum is.

[TygerDarkstorm]

If you don't want to get super detailed, that's okay. I know these things can get a little time consuming (I've done my share of very in depth reports). Just a little info on how the pet looks to you, why exactly you may or may not like this particular pet/skin and how you feel with it running around next to your particular character.

I look forward to seeing your report.

[Maunkitten]

For this challenge, my human hunter Anouska Tatterton was assigned the turquoise tallstrider to tame, and I immediately thought 'Clutchmother!' This has always been a pet that intrigued me, but for some reason I never got around to taming one!
First things first, I shipped my girl off to Darkshore. With a wave to her shale spider Anansi, she set off to track down the elusive Clutchmother.

Anouska thought perhaps riding her tallstrider would help, chatty bird that she is. And wouldn't you know it, maybe she was right, because it wasn't long til she and Ahimsa stumbled across her!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v667/ ... 235942.jpg

She dismounted as quietly as she could and extended her hand.. the Clutchmother wasn't impressed but Anouska couldn't tear her eyes away from the beautiful bird! Eventually, through the coaxing of lots of treats and Ahimsa's glowing recommendation (we think), they bonded. And how!

Unfortunately her fledglings weren't as happy. Anouska had to play dead so the proper goodbyes could be said.. and also so the Clutchmother wouldn't end up killing her own young. >_<

Anouska hearthed to the Shrine to get a good look at her new companion and decide on a name. I stared at her for a bit, watched her adorable animations and how her butt heathers swayed from side to side. ^_^ Finally, I decided on the name Qarth.

A shot of Qarth in all her glory- she has purple feeeeeets! She walks very gracefully, her head bobbing up and down gently. Her vocalisations are soft and adorable. Also.. hello? The PetEmote emotes for tallstriders had me squeeing and laughing alternately! She is so striking. Her facial expression is very soft and benevolent, but it can also look.. less than enthused. Unlike some pets, she even stands out in gloomy lighting. Of course in bright lighting like this, she is phenomenal. Just shimmers!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v667/ ... 000518.jpg

Anouska decided to take Qarth and Ahimsa to her favorite place in Pandaria, a pool near the shrine. They all looked so pretty here!

Though she was a graceful swimmer, Qarth seemed a bit afraid of the water.

I have never done a battleground with a tallstrider, and I wanted to see how well the armor reduction worked as a hunter in one. So we queued for a random! They were quite excited to get into the fray, and I was excited to see how well the ability would do!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v667/ ... 002630.jpg

....um. Well then.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v667/ ... 003244.jpg

However Qarth is absolutely adorable when she runs. That neck stretched out! The seemingly perpetual grin! The wiiiings!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v667/ ... 003351.jpg

After this they headed to Anouska's farm, where she was still digging up rocks. She asked Qarth for a hand, but this plucky lady has a sense of humor..

Please excuse the horribly cluttered UI, I just wanted to show the PetEmote that made me laugh out loud for a good while.

On our way back to the flight master, I finally figured out what her AOE was really great for in PvE situations! SURPRISE WORG AMBUSH! Here they are kicking butt together.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v667/ ... 010454.jpg

Best friends forever! I love how they look together, love the animations, the ability is proving situationally useful, and hello? This model is gorgeous- and has personality! Smitten!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v667/ ... 010551.jpg

Overall I LOVE Qarth, and I am so glad I got the chance to tame her. I would have forgotten til the end of time otherwise, and definitely have been missing out!

I would love another roll.
