I was given this fellow as my roll, so I headed out to Zangarmarsh to tame "Count" Ungula
The tame went very smoothly, as I am 71, and he was...63 I think? Lowest level one of this skin. Since he's a quest mob, he's always there, unless someone just tamed/killed him
I named him Blobby.
First off,
Appearance:
He's a very nice combination of shades of purple, along with a little pink and silver. His underside is extremely dark purple, with a sort of "light" on his stomach which is very sparkly and bright (or at least on my graphics) His back is silver with a pinkish purple stripe down it with little pink stripes shooting off to the sides into the silver. My favorite part was the end of his tail, a three-pronged tip, the middle being a nice bluish grey with dark pinkish purple stripes, and the two outer pieces the same, but with little pink "frills" coming off the top and bottom. I personally don't like Nether ray faces...they have five very bright silvery eyes, which is fine and all, but the mouth...oh, the mouth! I would hate to get bitten by one of these things! Rows of teeth (about three rows I think...Blobby wouldn't hold still long enough for me to see) extend as far back as you can see in the mouth. All in all, Nether rays look like very viscous, colorful umbrellas

On a 1-10 scale, this skin gets an 8 among all nether ray colors
Second:
Combat and
Movement
His combat animations were surprisingly good in my opinion...Blobby lunges with his teeth quite a bit, but mainly strikes with his tail, bringing it under his body to whack the enemy...in the face. The tooth lunge looks very good (middle pic on the top row is a failed attempt at catching it) where he first comes up, then dives down and bites. On a 1-10 scale, combat animations get a 9...very good, but could do with a bit more variety in my opinion.
Movement...movement is sadly lacking in my opinion. After running around and swimming with him for a bit, it appears his idle, swimming, and running animations are all very, very close. Swimming is slowed down running, and running is idle, but he flaps more and is a little more stretched out...1-10, I give them a 4...they could have had a lot better, but they still seem to fit him.
Combat in general was good...he did decent damage and held fairly good aggro, but killed the mobs fast enough that it didn't really matter. The noises fit him very well and weren't annoying at all to me, either.
Overall, I give this pet probably a 7...the skin and combat capabilities were wonderful, but the animations were slightly lacking with movement, which bugs me since I see my pets run and swim a LOT. Blobby will not be staying with Kylah, but I may get a nether ray on a different hunter at some point. Thanks for introducing me to these rare pets that no one seems to love. Seriously people! Give them some love! They're great for levelling, but Oatmeal the rhino is my buddy for now
I'll get a re-roll please!
Name: Kylah, female Night Elf
Level: 71, but anything up to like 77 is fine...the higher the level the slower I'll be though

Exotics: Yes!
Restrictions: None! I do like ghosty pets, and I don't mind hunting rares
