It is hard to pick "favourites", because I don't know if this implies favourite looks or favourite pets. I have a lot of hunters, all with special bonds with some of their pets, but I thought about it hard and narrowed my list down to the four that bring me the biggest emotions.

Hathor. I have told the story of my first hunter Ceredigion and his beloved condor time and time again. There is no need to repeat it now. Suffice it to say that even if that hunter technically no longer exists, and Mozag and Hathor do not share the same bond, Hathor is and will always be the first and most important pet I owned.

Mozag's closest friend is Mort. They have been together ever since she became a troll and I casually started searching for red pets for her, to make a stable theme. Her stables have since changed a lot, but Mort will never leave. He is the pet who will stand by Mozag until the servers shut down for good.

In Cata I was ecstatic that we could tame foxes, as I had dreamed of having a Goblin hunter with a cute fox by her side. Pearl and Lazuli did go through a lot together, but in time the bond failed. My adoration of this model never did however, and it is still one of my favourite in the game. Currently, Pearl has become my baby Dwarf hunter's pet, Hiisi. And while their bond is not like it was between the Goblin and her baby, I still feel the home is right for the skin.

All through Wrath, I stared at Hadronox and wished madly that one day the skin would be tameable. I loved the bone spider model, but was not so keen on the colours of the dark grey with the red eyes. I was enamoured of the purple eyes and web strands on this one. I remember sighing loudly to pugs of how beautiful she was and how I wish she would be mine some day, earning uncomfortable silences for my pains. When I heard that the skin would be available in Cataclysm, I confess I cried. Now, my beautiful spider, Rossetti (named after one of my favourite female poets) belongs to her Worgen mistress Alburga, and the two will never be parted.
