Hunter Pet Challenge

Unread post by OnyxHydra »

Greetings! Some of you may know me by my old forum name, TygerDarkstorm. I have been away from the game and here for a long, long time now, lol. I decided to start playing again, and, of course, had to come back to my favorite hunter haunt. I've started fresh in game since I don't have any of the emails and such I used before. Anyway, I think I'm up to like 5 hunters already, lol, with the most recent hunter being the reason for this thread! After creating hunters who had very specific themes and stables and burning myself out a bit, I said, what if I make a hunter who just has to tame the first thing she sees?

And thus this idea is born. I challenge my fellow hunters to play along with me. :D

The concept: Tame the first beast you come across wherever it is you're doing your questing or what have you.
General guidelines: If you're on a baby hunter, like me, obviously you're a little more limited in stable slots, so I get somethings will get passed up for the sake of space. No need to duplicate pet species. No need to keep your starter pet either if you roll a hunter who has one.

The main idea is that you're not pre-planning your stables. This concept is very much based on not looking beasts up on Petopia and not skipping something just because you may normally not like it. I hope that all makes sense!

So, to start things off! I decided to roll a highmountain tauren who went to Outland to see just how strange its beasts are. This boar was the first beast she encountered and thus, had to tame.

Since I have 2 stable slots, the second pet I came across was this black worg. I had hoped for the red one, but since the initial ones you come across are already controlled by orcs, the black one ended up being my next encounter. I keep wanting to love this wolf model and hope they'll be on the list to get an upgraded model/texture.

And even if you don't join me, I hope you enjoy Nahlani's Outland creature adventure. :)

Nahlani visited the stable master to free up a slot and the next beast she came across and had to tame was this carrion bird.

Boy this one sure is pretty. I love its fiery orange feathers.

Nahlani's last tame from Hellfire is Spook.

She moved into Zangarmarsh and the amount of pets I'm just running smack into is almost a bit overwhelming, so I'll have some spam of those tames here soon lol.

Like I said, here's a big dump of her tames from Zangarmarsh so far. I forgot how blue this zone and its creatures are, so I gave Nahlani a blue transmog to go with it. It felt a bit like everywhere I turned there was a new beast to tame, so a few of them are still unnamed.

Thank you! :D

It's kinda fun not planning out a stable and just taming the first beast you come across.

Does it have to be a new hunter, or could I dust off a hunter I've not played for a bit to see what I end up taming?

I see no reason you couldn't dust off an old hunter to do this. :)

I dusted off Nahlani yesterday and had her grab a couple of pets. I'm not crazy about the moth and may end up abandoning it. But I do like the crystal spider who got the very original name of Krystal, lol
