Your roll didn't get missed. As I've said many times before, sometimes real life gets in the way of me handing out rolls, and sometimes, I just really don't feel like doing them because they're time consuming. Sometimes I'm also waiting for more people to make reports and request rolls as it's a lot more convenient handing out several rolls at one time than it is doing one or two in spurts. If it's been 4 or so days since I've last updated (without a warning that I'd be absent for a period of time), then feel free to poke me as I may have forgotten, but after only one day, I haven't.

Occasionally people's rolls do get missed in my line up, and for those people whom it's happened to, I apologize, it means I didn't properly backtrack to my last roll set like I usually do, or that it was a small post caught in between two reports and I failed and over looked it.

Happy Hunting!

[Ana]

Perfect taming fit!! Kahlua is atm in Sholari Basing to get her mining up, so i did not have to go long to find a black gorilla to tame.

I love gorillas i find them full of personality. This black model is really nice, i never had a black gorilla before - always had the white or the brown one

Meet Smirnof




One thing which bothers me, is that the back of the gorilla, looks like he had sat down in some dirt and forgot to be washed off



But look at that face!!! Loads of personality and to me, i think its really well done (sure the model have some pixel errors but which of wow´s pet haven´t )
Gorilla are just wonderfull




Figting animations:

The slap in da face!! The gorilla uses his hand and litteraly slaps the foe across the face (was figthing an animal with a face to slap -i guess with other mobs it would just be a slap)



He also jumps in to the air and kinda lunches forward ( really hard to capture - so here is just some more shots off him fighting)
The gorillas special attack is an interupt of spellcast for 2 sec, but if you leave it on auto, its not so wise... it just uses it whenever a spell is about to be cast. My suggestion is turning it off auto, and deside when u want to interrupt





Idle animation

Bumscratch. The gorilla will once in a while ( accually quite often) scratchs its behind.



The " me tarzan, you jane move". The gorilla will stand up and pummel its chest. The face looks like its letting out a yelp



Smirnoff will stay with Kahlua - i just really really whish that i could make some of my belowed tenacity pet to ferocity/cunning pets. There are way to many good looking tenacity pets and the gorilla is defo a must have. So if you havent tried one alrdy, you should they are fun, charming and got loads of personality to toss around.

Ankha

[Velkyn]

I decided, against my better judgment, to start my test of Maki (Ankha) in Looking for Raid. I figured that ought to be a suitable test for my new green spirit tiger, and perhaps I’d put some other people to shame in the process. –grin-


So, I stood around in Stormwind to wait for my LFR queue to pop, just sort of watching and listening to the spirit beastie. It sounds like your average cat, and stretches like your average cat. But, animations and sounds rarely enamor me to a pet (aside from Krush, my lovely green devilsaur, and Dax, my purple-and-green warp stalker). She wasn’t ridiculously obtrusive, but she wasn’t one who completely escaped notice. I don’t really care for how translucent she is. In some places, it makes it very difficult to see any real detail to her pelt, and makes her look more like a white-green smudge than the green spirit tiger she is. She has some little blue sparkles that come off of her, and faint green-white smoke as well. Honestly? I don’t like her skin much. Perhaps if it were a little more green than white, I would enjoy her more, but the almost-white translucent tiger doesn’t do it for me. She doesn’t really distinguish herself enough, is all I can really think to say.


In LFR, I sort of decided I really didn’t care for Maki. Though I could see her skin a bit more clearly against the scenery, she just didn’t fit too well. She died a couple times randomly through the first half (I pulled her away at appropriate times and such, but…well.) without losing much, if any, health before said random deaths. She was specced for damage, and did about average DPS for a Beast Mastery pet.

I sat around a bit longer with her in Stormwind, debating what else I could do with this feline, just watching her idle. Tail flicking, stretching and opening her jaw wide, looking around and flicking her ears, occasionally shaking her head hard. I finally decided that this was about as far as I would get with Anhka. She was… alright. A pet that would stay in my stables though, for the most part, until I needed another spot for a pet that appealed to me more…


Then I saw this upon logging in. I sighed. I would have to use Maki a little longer, give her another chance. My hunter didn’t seem to mind her, so my Molten Front dailies would be done with Maki beside me. Well, when I was within the portal anyways, didn’t need anyone getting excited over finding Ankha near her spawn point when it was just me strolling around with her. So, I summoned Maki to my side when I got to the breach, and inspected her once more, a stark contrast to the fire and rock that made up the Firelands. She kept agro alright, and things died quick as you’d expect. But, in the end, I decided to release her back to Hyjal.

Overall, Ankha is your average tiger, but transparent and with little wispy smoke coming off it on occasion.

Sorry my boyfriend came in from Australia so I've been MIA, working on that crab right now

[EDIT]

[SUBJECT OF TAME] - Blue Deep Sea Crab
[TALENT TREE SPECIALIZATION] - Tenacity
[LOCATION OF TAME] - Duskwallow Marsh
[TIME OF TAME] - 4:00PM MST
[SERVER OF TAME]- Thrall-US

[PET NAMED] - Kani (Kah-nee) Japanese for Crab
[NAME OF HUNTER TAMING] - Raevon, level 46 Draenei Hunter

We'll start off with the tame, the location of these little fellows are right outside of Theramore Keep - they are relatively easy to tame for my
level 40+ hunter seeing how they are 35-37 range. I had no problems at all taming, and while I was taming my druid boyfriend [feral druid, tank]
who I am leveling with snagged some lovely screenshots this one above being my chosen out of them all. I've never been keen on crabs,
I prefer bears and with a tank/feral druid leveling with me I've never had much use for a tanky-based pet. Though I do have Orso, Raevon's Grey Bear.


Blue being my favorite color, I did have a minor fondness of his shade of blue and his cute spiky model even though
I haven't particularly cared for them in the past on my Blood Elf (originally Night Elf) hunter Foxsong, he did kind of
match the "theme" if you will of colors that I have had with my Draenei since starting to level her. His clunky claws,
and occasional movement while idle was cute despite the fact I'm not fond of the noise they make when they run off
to attack something.


I decided to start my journey with my little Crab, Kani, in Tanaris where my boyfriend and I were picking back up leveling - Basilisk were the first
on the list of victims to be maimed and killed. Being a hunter, I have to enjoy the combat look of my pet and the noise it makes and while I'm not
too fond of the clunkiness the crab seems to have Kani was cute for his model.



Kani found a scorpion he wasn't fond of, which I looked closer at his "actions" in combat he looked kind of like a little mini-boxer with his left hook
and then a right hook. He was super adorable even if he did seem a bit clumsy with such big claws - he took down the scorpion all by himself like a
little champ only to skitter back to my side. I'm still not fond of crabs, but he has a uniqueness about him that could grow on me given the chance.



At the end of the day, while I am highly fond of my little baby Hunter's, Raevon, little Grey Bear Orso Kani had a look about him that made me willing
to give him a chance to win me over. While I am not sure if he'll stay in her stable, he will certainly stick around for today's quests and while my
boyfriend and I fiddle around with the little toons. I would say that Crabs, while not having a real useful ability (more of a PvP based one imo) are
kind of cute in their own unique way. We'll see if Kani makes the cut.

[SUBJECT OF TAME] - Blue and Red Boss Wasp [Stinglasher]
[TALENT TREE SPECIALIZATION] - Cunning
[LOCATION OF TAME] - Feralas
[TIME OF TAME] - 5:00PM MST
[SERVER OF TAME]- Thrall-US

[PET NAMED] - Shimiru which means "to sting" in Japanese
[NAME OF HUNTER TAMING] - Raevon, level 53 Draenei Hunter


Stinglasher, is a quest spawn out in Feralas located near the Silithid hive. He was once again, rather easy to tame as he was level 39
and Raevon was 53 at the time. My boyfriend, Fawlcon, and I flew out to Feralas from where we were questing (Wintersprings) to pick
up this little guy to drag around with me to see if I could get attached to him.


He is a pretty light shade of blue, hard to miss in the harsh green setting out in Feralas - while he is pretty, he just wasn't what I was thinking
for Rae in terms of pets. But, I figured what the heck I'd give him a try and see what I thought after a while of running around and having him tag
along beside her. Normally I quest with either Koichi, the rare spawn clutch mother out in Ashenvale, or Orso, her grey bear - but I set them aside
for this little wasp.


We headed back off to Wintersprings to start our "quests" out there. I wanted to see if I could "meld" with him a little better as to keep him apart of
my stable. We met up with the dwarf quest giver to start picking up quests together, excitedly, to press on towards the level cap. He buzzed quietly next
to Rae as we scurried along from Everlook, his wings flutter rapidly in attempts to keep up pace with her and for me that was a bit of a turn-off. He just
didn't mesh with her movement, and looked awkward and at times lagged horridly behind and went even more rapidly to catch up.



Attack wise, he lashes out at the target with his little razor arms and stings at them with his stinger. I wasn't overly impressed with his attack actions
nor was I impressed by his ability to stun a target. He did his fair share of damage, of course, as a cunning pet he doesn't specialize in damage dealing
but he could take it as well as he could deal it. He makes a hiss noise when he flutters off to attack, and periodically throughout combat as well. Overall,
I wasn't impressed and I couldn't see him holding a perma home in Raevons stables.



By and by, after finishing a few quests here and there I figured out he wasn't the pet for Raevon. Perhaps it is his color, because I've had wasps before
on Foxsong and they were charming or maybe it is just the fact Raevon doesn't meld with Wasps as well! Regardless we returned him to Feralas, and he
battled one last Silithid for Raevon to protect her before he fluttered off into the forest!

White Cataclysm Crocolisk

Brown Vulture

[CandidHeartbeat]

[SUBJECT OF TAME] - White Cataclysm Crocolisk [Ripscale]
[TALENT TREE SPECIALIZATION] - Tenacity
[LOCATION OF TAME] - Duskwallow Marsh
[TIME OF TAME] - Yesterday, 9:00PM
[SERVER OF TAME]- Thrall-US

[PET NAMED] - Yajuu [Yah-Jew] means Monster in Japanese
[NAME OF HUNTER TAMING] - Raevon, level 53 Draenei Hunter


Ripscale, is a rare spawn crocolisk in Duskwallow Marsh, originally my boyfriend and I lazily hopped on our horde toons to move out to Duskwallow faster
to see if he was even up at the time. The initial search around 8:00PM turned up only a yellow worm but no Ripscale, alas we hopped back over to the
lowbies to continue our attempt at 85. Around 8:45PM, close to 9PM, I requested that my boyfriend hop back over to his mage, Acadium, to do another
fly over and if he spotted anything that I'd be on my way to Booty Bay to hop the boat to Ratchet. Ripscale is HUGE, compared to his other Crocolisk
counterparts. My boyfriend proceeded to sheep him, safely, as to avoid detection in case anyone else was nearby. I hopped a gryphon to Booty Bay
on my little one, the boat to Ratchet and then flew to Theramore. My boyfriend shared his screen on Skype to give me an estimate as to where it
was located, with little to no area explored on my little ones map it made for a fun search. Upon finding him, I began the tame to which the entirety
of his large monstrous body covered my little Raevon and therefore left her invisible in the tame picture. We considered it to be a "crocky" hug!


Upon taming, I fell in love with him. He matched Raevon to a tee, and I love the new Cataclysm Crocolisk models - I named him Yajuu, meaning
Monster in Japanese! He was quite the charmer, and we decided to tromp around Duskwallow for a bit to find some things to test what he looked
like upon attacking.


Upon finding mobs to attack, I found that he has a slight "glitchy" look about him when he attacks - half his body disappears into the target.
I can't say that I'm fond of it, but other mobs he did just fine on. He lunges from a low position, mouth open and attempts to clamp at the target
his ability is to slow the target which is useful if I happen to pull off of him. He looked cute in the water attacking, as his little butt waggles back
and forth. After tromping around for a bit we headed off to Swamp of Sorrows to catch Fawlcon up to Raevon in quest zones.



Upon arrival, we afk'd for a bit and I thought it'd be cute to snag a picture of them chilling at the goblins beach party. Of course, little Yajuu wanted
to go into the water! Staying true to his Crocolisk roots. After we hung out with the Goblins we proceeded to do some quests, mostly underwater
where I fell in love with his swim animation. He smoothly glides through the water much like a real Crocodile would.



Little Yajuu, will be staying in Raevon's stable for now! However, Raevon already has a beloved tank named Orso who does quite well at his job.
That and Orso has been with Raevon since a low level, and she has gotten quite attached to that cheeky bear. Yajuu will find is use I'm sure and
if not Raevon will let him return to his home in Duskwallow Marsh!

[I'd go again if it isn't too much trouble, otherwise don't worry about it it gives me something to do]

[TygerDarkstorm]

Now that I can properly access the forums again, I ask that every time you would like to be rolled a new pet that you please fill out the entire roll request form as it saves me from having to scroll back repeatedly to find level, names, restrictions, etc. Especially since a lot of these things change as people progress through the Challenges.

[CandidHeartbeat]

I was only asking before I filled it out to avoid being bothersome so I figured I'd ask if it was ok I roll again, not trying to annoy you I'm sorry.

[TygerDarkstorm]

I was not intending to come off as being annoyed in my last post and I apologize if I did. It's just that, you don't need permission to make a roll request, kinda defeats the purpose of the thread a bit. If you want to keep getting rolled pets then just keep posting your roll format and I'll roll you a new pet for as long as you wish to participate in these challenges.

Also, occasionally I do accidentally miss rolls, especially if people edit them into their posts as I don't typically see post edits, in which case, just pop into the thread to mention I forgot you, or potentially re-post your roll request.

And as a totally side note; I'm debating about shutting down this current thread and starting a version 4.0 of it since this one's getting rather long and I'm the only person who runs it now.

CandidHeartbeat(Raveon):
Yellow Beetle

[Velkyn]

Unfortunately, getting into Halls of Origination with some friends didn’t quite work, so instead I headed to Outlands, up to Blade’s Edge to locate a Red Spiked Raptor for myself. I already had a green variety of this creature, but figured it couldn’t hurt to go tame one that was the proper color, and actually look at this raptor. I watched a Daggermaw Lashtail wander around for a little bit, noting that though its coloration was suited to the landscape, it didn’t particularly blend in. It looks more like it belongs in a molten area, like the Firelands almost, and that Blade’s Edge ought to have a more yellow or orange variety to call its own. The red spiked raptors are a deep shade of brown-red, while its body is molten red. Its belly is yellow-orange. It’s honestly a lot more striking than my favored green variety.

Alright, that was enough watching. Time to tame it.

And poof, I had another raptor to keep me company for the day. I decided he would be called Marux, mostly out of a whim and my enjoyment of names with “x” in them. I went into my Marks spec and gave my new friend proper DPSing talents. I watched him stand about and bob from side to side, his tail flicking, as we stood in Toshley’s Station, with his little scythe-claws tapping up and down a little bit, and him occasionally opening his mouth a little. It seems like that’s all he’ll do when idle, which I guess makes him a little on the boring side to be honest. We headed to Stormwind next, to sic him on a training dummy so I could take a good look at his fighting animations.

His most interesting animation was when he would leap up into the air, and bring his hind claws down over the training dummy’s back, and look like he was trying to bite the dummy at the same time. He also snaps forwards, bringing his foreclaws down and biting at the same time. Those were the only two animations I saw him do while fighting and I let him go at the dummy for quite a while. As for when he runs, he does that bouncing gait typical of WoW raptors.

Time to see how he does in actual use. I had noted earlier he looked like he belonged in Firelands, so I decided he’d come along with me to the Molten Front to do my dailies there. As you’d expect from a ferocity pet, he couldn’t hold agro and was rather squishy (I had to hit mend pet and misdirect more often than I’d have liked) but things died really quick.

(He did NOT get along with the salamanders and charhounds at all!)

In the end, I decided it was time to release Marux back among the other Daggermaw Lashtails, and red wind serpents in Blade’s Edge, so I brought him back to Outlands to release him to his home area. Gerric, my Felsworn Daggermaw, and I watched Marux strut around with the wind serpents for a short bit, before we headed back to Stormwind.

Bue Cataclysm Crocolisk

[CandidHeartbeat]

First off, sorry this took so long - I've been busy leveling, as well as moving this hunter [little Draenei] from Thrall-US to Moon Guard-US and therefore
was trying to get accustomed to the new guild, and new server. HOWEVER, I did finally get around to getting this done and up!

[SUBJECT OF TAME] - Hive'Zora Tunneler (Yellow Beetle)
[TALENT TREE SPECIALIZATION] - Tenacity
[LOCATION OF TAME] - Silithus
[TIME OF TAME] - 11:00AM
[SERVER OF TAME]- Moon Guard-US

[PET NAMED] - Skitters, temp name for a temp pet
[NAME OF HUNTER TAMING] - Lokiia, level 82 Draenei Hunter


Well, Skitters was located in Silithus and was level 55 upon taming which was smooth as icing on a cake for my already level 82 hunter.
He was found in the midst of the hive, along with some wasps and he stood out because he was the only one not agro-able simply by striding past.
The tame was easy, and smooth, no spells to interrupt it that I noticed and with him being 55 he did no damage to my hunter as she tamed.
After which, the new beetle, myself, and my boyfriend headed out to Hyjal to return to our questing goals – I figured it was best to give him a
real challenge rather than making my judgment based on running around and slaughtering level 55 silithids.


Once out in Hyjal we began our quests, after summoning my boyfriend, we took on level 81 Twilight Scorchlords for the quest Breakthrough –
as well as killing a Twilight Field Captain for his glyph of opening for the quest The Hammer and the Key. Things went generally smoothly, Skitters
being of the tenacity family tree was a decent tank needing little healing and being able to take on multiple adds at once with ease. When not in combat
he idles by looking about dramatically, his antennas atop his head swivel around wildly not to mention he makes little to no noise while idle making him a quiet pet.


However, once in combat he is quite the wild little bugger – being very dramatic and overly enthused with his attacks ranging from what appears
to be a kung-fu lunge attack to a more withdrawn attack with his bottom he doesn’t hesitate to battle his enemies. He also has an ability called
“Harden Carpace” which hardens his body to take 50% less damage from incoming attacks. Of course, it is a useful move for a tanking companion.
I wasn’t overly enthralled by his combat actions, at times made him look funny but overall he did what he is meant to do – keep agro, and do damage.



After finishing the two quests listed above, we went about saving Wardens – Skitters followed loyally as we bounded about both on foot,
and by air to locate the lost wardens that needed our aid. He is kind of cute, for a bug, when he runs and his stagey idle animations make him
for an enjoyable side-kick but the one thing that bugged me overall was his gaudy yellow bodice that seemed to clash with the blue stripes that were on his body.



At the end of the day, however, Skitters simply didn’t fit in color-wise with Loki’s beloved family and thus she returned to Silithus to let him return
to his family of buggy-like proportions. Perhaps she will look into getting a beetle better suited for her color-wise, but she did enjoy doing several
quests with her newfound friend and wishes him the best in his bug life.
