It goes without saying who I vote for. =P

A rare visitor to this forum now that I don't play WoW anymore, but forever a Petopian.

I'm actually not in favor of the sporebat. The joke originated with WHU and Frostheim, and isn't so much of a Petopia thing.

Image
Rak'shiri is recognizable both for what he is (a member of the popular cat family) and for the outcry raised by hunters when his skin was changed. Whether you like him as blue or white, many know who he is.

Image
Known as both the Grimtotem Spirit Guide wolf and the exotic Karoma spirit beast, the tale of the ghost wolf is known to many.

Image
The first and perhaps most well-known spirit beast, the legendary Loque'nahak. Hunters are likely to know him regardless of preferred spec.

Image
While she wasn't originally meant to be tamed, it was the desire of the hunter community that brought Gezzarak the Huntress to us again.

The problem with sporebats and striders, both of which I'm fond of, is they're both very vertical, which is not as good a fit for the horizontal Petopia banner. I think I'm changing my vote to Chitter, who is very much a Petopia pet and would contrast nicely against the green.

My vote goes to Loque. Everyone knows who he is, and he's a pet most people shoot for.

The very first pet that came to mind when I read the title of this topic was Humar the Pridelord. A close second was Echeyakee - but I think Humar represents a pinnacle hunting point for many as their first "rare hunt." Since we are hunters, and we hunt around for different pets, rare or not, I would put forth Humar as my suggestion!

To note: I no longer have Humar on my main, but I still love this little guy!

This made me think - what about, instead of the 'Sholazar Trio', we take a trio of winners - one from each talent tree. I thought the Sholazar gang would work but both Loque and Krush are ferocity and exotic, which didn't sit right with me. If we did have a 'vote', it might be worth it to throw out suggestions for each tree.

Image
If I had to choose one, personally I've always liked the white croc - but I'm biased. :P

I'd have to vote for Gezzarak (sp?)

simply because:

Tameable by everyone.

Pushed for by the community.

She has HUNTRESS in her name.

Just makes sense, I think.

I like that idea. One from each tree. :3 Though I also will say, lets not do any of the 'special tames' either(ex: oil wolf, fire boar, sword ghost wolf, etc.).

I like this idea. Maybe tie them together with a color theme; white would go well with petopia's colors. My initial thoughts:

Hmm, this needs some pondering! If three are used, many things need to be taken into account. Colour schemes, importance of pets to the hunter community as a whole, importance of pets to the Petopians specifically, links to Mania's other WoW pages, my own personal preference...

Let me get back to you on this! :D
