EDIT: I'll update the list another day once the discoveries are more or less done. No sense editing it every time one or two new ones are added, at least not in our current explorations before Shadowlands drops.

I'll be waiting on the highland, with its wonderful serenity.
Where the stars glow and the brooks flow, that's my way of life.
When the mountains on the highland, and the nature is surrounding me, when the wind blows, that's all I need.

Thanks for your report! Apparently we had an erroneous report that he kept his name. I've removed the flag and added him back to the suggestion list.

OK, addedWerebearGuy wrote: ↑Sun Aug 22, 2021 3:57 am I feel it should, since it's part of a boss encounter. Plus, we've got generic sounding pet names, so it seems fair to consider it a possibility since it's a boss add. Much lower priority than others that should have names of course, but it's unique enough to be considered.
There are just two one we haven't been able to check since 9.1: Junkyard D.0.G. and Bloodseeker.
UPDATE: Checked Junkyard D.0.G. - it doesn't retain its name. It's actually a generic creature there so maybe no reason for it to, other than a cool name. I'll leave it on the suggestions list.
