This is Fravashi! I've been informed this means Guardian Spirit in Persian
This is Ankha. I liked the name so didn't change it!
Gondria, renamed Aurora!
Arcturis
Wrex named by my wife who was playing Mass Effect 3 at the time of my tame!
Nightshade was a fun tame! I liked the challenge! Deth'tilac was tamed at the same time Deth Strike finished casting and my newly tamed pet took the hit of the previously untamed Deth'tilac as you will see from the combat log!
Aah Sekhmet! How I love you!
Karkin!
And finally Daikaiju who has saved my life in the last few days countless times! Daikaiju means Big Strange Monster in Japanese!

I love how you put exclamation points at the end of all your introductions to your pets. It makes you sound so excited to have them.
They're all very lovely, and I love the names you picked!

Because this was pointed out by Rhyela I shall not be using any exclamation marks in this post...
Today's haul:
First tame was Magria in Mount Hyjal.
Then across to Sanctuary of Malorne for Ban'thalos
I had to leave the queue for 2 heroics to get these. I go and do a heroic and when I finish head into Molten Front for Skarr
And then I remembered I had never actually looked for Ghostcrawler so a trip to Vashj'ir followed.
Was coming to the end of his patrol and about to give when npcscan gives me another shock.
Ban'thalos and Magria need names if anyone would like to suggest any.
Skarr is now named Obsidian after my favourite pet rat.
Ghostcrawler has the name Nerfbat after his hilarious ability.
Look no exclamation marks!!!

Decided I want a wolf and went in search of Old Cliff Jumper.
He was there waiting for me in Hinterlands. Dismounted, started taming, then Sambas appears and chomps on him one shotting him.
Note to self: Next time you go pet hunting make sure you dismiss your pets first.
Anyway here is me with Nymeria, named after Arya's Direwolf from A Song of Ice and Fire
Then went to get Ashtail for good measure.
Just had a thought... What am I going to do once I have gotten Skoll and Karoma?
I'll be a lost little hunter =(

Just tamed Chromaggus in BWL. It took less time to tame than it would have to kill him.
I named him Telanater which may sound an odd name but the two people who helped me were Telana and Thanater so I combined them and got a name. Wouldn't have done it without them!

Wow, gratz on all your tames! You're on fire! I'm glad that pet taming has renewed your love for WoW.
I need to get into BWL and get Chromaggus. I love the spikes on his back, very menacing.
Exclamation points FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After naming my Wolf Nymeria I decided to name Ashtail GreyWind.
Continuing the A Song of Ice and Fire theme I would like to introduce you to Ghost!
WHEN I finally find Skoll he shall be name ShaggyDog! That leaves Summer and Lady as availale names. I might name Ankha and Magria after those two even though they aren't canine.
Currently Magria is called Inatsu and Ankha is Ankha.

I think many people here would agree, you really never will get used to npscan. Even after taming most of the rare pets out there myself and camping for those rare spawn mounts, it still gets me to jump (when the volume is on especially)

I meant it as a compliment, I thought it was cute that you seemed so happy to have your pets, rather than just "Whoop-de-doo, I picked this thing up for the heck of it." Sorry if you thought I was making fun of you.

Hehe don't worry! I knew what you meant! I've noticed myself that I use a lot of exclamation marks. I was just seeing if I could write something with out them! As you can see from this I find it quite hard ^_^
Anyway guys. My weeks free trial is now over and Skoll evaded me for the whole time! I am off away for the weekend and when I return I will be putting time on my hunter account and playing even more!
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend guys and think of me whilst I am getting beaten up* watching Anthrax live in Wales!
*Don't worry I won't get beaten up! I'll stand at the back!

Okay, good! The last thing I want to do is hurt anyone's feelings.

Glad you had fun on the hunter, you certainly had some great luck during your trial. See you on the other side!

And so it ends.
After 2 days, 13 hours and 30 minutes played time, and 1 day 10 hours at level 85 I finally have Skoll.
It may not seem like much in the grand scheme of things or even in comparison to the amount of time others have spent looking for their pets.
I know I am a jammy b*stard.
His name is Shaggy Dog!
<3 you all!
