WoW Petopia Community

i was wondering when someone would post slimes or hydra you guys are incredibly lucky I remember first seeing a slime i tried to tame a slime from wetlands and failed and also the purple hydra from outlands I wish blizz would make both species tameable I hate myself for not leveling my hunter.

I recently made a new hunter to use for an RP and, as I do with many of my RP characters, I wanted to create her in game to more easily visualize her. At first her pet was planned to be a boar, but once I got writing Kinsy, I decided that a wise ol' croc in his prime would be a good fit for my extremely young orc (by extremely young, I mean 10 [in human years]. He's a father figure to her now when she needs it most after being dishonored from her clan. Plus, crocs weren't something we had really seen in hunter pets in our RPs so I thought it would be a fun pet to try out.

Silverfang is a crocolisk in his prime. He's had a few litters in his lifetime and he's survived a few scraps for control of territory. Kinsy did not tame Silverfang though, he tamed her. He is allowing her to lead him around while he protects her and learns who she is and how to cope in the real world.

Due to high demand, here is my contribution. This little bugger is called "Schnodder" which is german for "snot". Enjoy.

I've been away for a few months, and won't be back again until December--but was elated when I found the Crocolisk appreciation thread! My one and only crocolisk is my Slimer, the infamous Spirit of Koosu and my absolute favorite companion and tank. I hope this post does him justice!

When WotLK first came out, I was taking my time levelling and just enjoying the new gameplay. However, when I discovered forum posts excitedly discussing a bug in the Sholazar Basin spirits...and I saw the Spirit of Koosu...I had to tame him. I spent the next days devoted to power-levelling Nimae to 80, so I could tame him before the dreaded and inevitable hotfix. I was shaking when I finally ran to his stomping grounds and he appeared...just a few short seconds later, he was mine! The name "Slimer" was a no-brainer to me. He's been an amazing tank, I absolutely adore using him in battlegrounds, and he always gets lots of attention wherever we go (Figure 1).


Figure 1. Slimer is famous!

Slimer is my exploration buddy, too...especially in some more disturbing areas (Figures 2, 3). He's a champ, though sometimes even the dark corners get the best of him (Figure 4).

Figure 3. One of my favorite areas in the zone, and in-game; Slimer loved this place, too.


Figure 4. Dark corners sometimes get the best of Slimer's bravery.

I love that Blizzard didn't remove the Slimes from stables after the patch hit...and that the hunter mechanics still work with these awesome beasts. As soon as Camouflage went live, I had to test it out, and was very pleased with the effect (Figure 5).


Figure 5. Slimer with and without Camouflage. I love this effect!

All in all, he's my absolute favorite pet, tank, and companion. I can't imagine playing WoW without him. He's been a beast in PvP (when tanks don't volunteer to take on Vann, I yell "HEAL THE SLIME" and in he goes--heals love him, and I haven't yet seen him die while tanking in a BG!). He has saved us in raids and instances when tanks bite the dust. I love my Crocoslime, and when I'm back home in December I can play MoP with my buddy once again. =3
