Recently Loque'nahak took to stalking me. I tamed him twice in 17 hours or so, and levelled him to 80. We had some good times but for various reasons, Regret, as I'd named him, was released today beside his mate Har'koa. I'll miss the fierce Spirit Kitty rawrs he made!
I intend to get back Rotclaw, my Diseased Black Bear, before Cataclysm hits. Meanwhile, though, I did a repeat of my old boredom deal--taming creatures I wanted to try out. This time, though, I had a theme: creatures that match my character and her current armor. Mostly. I did find some that I love, and fully intend to retame after Cata hits, when we get more slots.
First came Ironjaw, patriarch of the Terokkar wolves. He matches my armor, and I love that noble pose, but he has a bit too much slate-blue-gray for me.
I then ran out & grabbed the rare, Death Flayer. I named him BadThings (for the True Blood fans out there!), and discovered Scorpids are Tenacity (I honestly had no idea, always thought of them as PvP/Cunning!) This is another pet I WILL tame again when I have the space. I actually really liked him!!
I then went out to Silverpine and got this ugly fellow, named Spifdar. I like the Bone Spider skins, and I always thought of the Tarantulas as sort of fluffy. But they make a hideous squelching sound I can't bear, and this one didn't seem to have any personality whatsoever. Didn't like it.
I took a ride out to Terokkar and grabbed Trachela. I LOVED her but she totally didn't match my gear. I always wanted to tame it though, and my oh my did she live up to my expectations. She looks great, and the sounds she makes when fed are ADORABLE.
Thinking I'd try to get a version that matched my gear, I ran on out to Hellfire. This guy didn't even get a name; the coloring was nowhere near as striking IMO, and some of it was rather faded. I liked it mind, it just didn't have the same personality.
I figured I'd have a run down to Un'goro and try to find King Mosh and give him a shot or, barring that, I'd grab a similarly-colored Tyrant Devilsaur. On the way I snagged this guy. But I was disappointed; the weird "new" idle pose still puts me off, and this particular hyena's face looks like that of a creepy old man somehow.
Near Un'goro's edge I took this guy for a spin. A silithid! I love the blue-green skin, but a. it doesn't match at all and b. well, I wanted something I could give some kind of perverted name for five minutes. The pink silithid just always strikes me as phallic, or something equally mature. I named him Innuendo, which you can't see, as taking a screenshot of these guys is a once-in-a-lifetime achievement. They spend half their lives leaping out of your screen sideways.
Well, there was no Mosh. OR Tyrant Devilsaur, for that matter. Well heck, I've my Valak for Devilsaurness anyway, so I ran back and, surprising myself, got Trachela again. I REALLY like her. I even found a way to make her match my gear >.>
I think until Cata hits I may stick with her! I want my Rotclaw back, but I want to play with this pretty bird first too. I was doing my normal devil/wolf dps in a heroic with her, which as she was 75 and I'm BM, seems quite a feat. I can't wait to see what she's like at 80--not as high as them perhaps, but still very pretty and quite fun!
Here's another couple screenies for you, before I go.
First off, here's the size of a Silithid net on a Devilsaur. (I let it go afterward, never fear!)
Then a pretty, and lucky, screenshot I call Taming the Beast!
~Indecisive, signing out!
