Oh what an awesome thread...

I love seeing what pets people chose, and their hunters! I suppose I'll share good ol' Aqui the grumpface and his stables!

First is Ferrum, my beloved wolf. Aqui's had wolves since I created him, because at the time everyone had cats (kinda ironic really o.O) and now it just feels wrong for him not to have one. For a long time he had Snarler from Feralas, then when he got to Northrend, he got rid of him for various other pets. Then one day a friend told me they were camping for "Old Cliff Jumper"... I looked him up, was awed, and the search was on. I only found him recently, literally was in the midst of saying "Gah, he doesn't exist" when NPC scan went off and I yelped XD So yeah. Ferrum is wonderful. <3

Coriander, tied for 'favorite pet' with Animus. Named after a harmless (but tasty!) green herb, I RP him as being a big dork, very silly and goofy, loves chocolates Oo; Taming him was epic and difficult, and I spent months and months searching for him. I cannot see him ever leaving my stables. <3 People in Dal love to throw babyspice at him or /cheer at us both =P

Borealis, who I think is beautiful. No big story behind him, I got very lucky and literally saw him spawn before me when I tamed him. I'll be honest and admit I mostly just have this pet because I think he looks darn cool.

Anxiety! A friend whispered me one evening and said, "Hey, do you want Skoll? o.O" and how could I say no... so off I flew, and Skoll was mine. I'd always adored him but because of college I did not have time to camp him, so I'd pretty much given up hope on ever having him in my stables. But I do now, and he's /awesome./ Probably the pet I PVP with most often, because the day I got him Thunder Bluff got attacked and he was invaluable in my defense efforts. Plus he just looks incredible bestial wrath'd >:D

And last but /certainly/ not least, the king of my stables (shh, don't tell Coriander >.>) -- Animus. I've had Animus longer than any other pet. All my guildies from that time (the guild has since broken up) still tease me about 'living' in the basin during that camp... haha. They'd take turns helping me do laps to find him. In the end, I found him during a very sleepy final lap early, early one morning and was beyond ecstatic. :3 Animus won't ever be leaving my stables, he's awesome. In RP terms, he's really lazy and fickle, but he has a knack for showing up when Aqui is in major trouble and needs help.
Or to bat at Aqui's feet and drive him crazy. XD
Sp yeah, that's Aquillian's stable! Looking forward to seeing more pics posted here *grabby hands* =P oh, and once my itty hunter alt has a stable I know she'll be keeping, I'll post her too.
