Thanks Tyger. I REALLY hate to be a pain, but could I request a reroll? Brokentoe is a summon that I am unable to do on that server, and can be a pain. I am so sorry!

Level 100

Whoo! I figured it would only be a matter of time til I got a worm. This should be interesting. :)

Yeah, Im one of those. Been meaning to finish the report. I tamed it and took some screenshots, but then real life kicked in and I've barely even played in the last few weeks. If I do anything WoW related lately it's sig making, which is fine. But I probably won't get around to this like I intended to :C

Well dang, I checked for the worm in WPL, and he wasn't there. I'll keep looking. ;)

Good luck Rhyela, it seems like the WPL rares have super long spawn timers. I never saw any while I was questing there, even though I was mostly on at night. Hope you find him soon :)

Have gotten the yellow worm from both silithus and dustwallow it seems they are easier to find since people always seem to lvl in the plague lands

Decided to check before going to work, and he was there! I'll try to keep an open mind about Gregory, but Dansen doesn't seem to feel the same way. :P

So .. better late than never.
This report likely won't be as in depth as it probably should be but anyway.

My challenge was the blue raptor.

Bixy made her way to Stonetalon to try and find Tenok.
He wasn't there when she arrived but he spawned litteraly less than a minute after she got there.

Image
Image

Bixy ran around with him abit and while he's a solid pet with good tanking and damage capabilities I don't think he's one of Bixy's favourites, she did however notice something funny though, while on the boat to Stormwind from Darnassus he seemed to be tapping his claws in time with the music on the boat, I didn't get a good screenshot of it however.

Image

Appearance : The color is lovely but the model itself is a tad to blocky in places for me which is likely why I can never really click with them, similar to Gorillas, I like raptors over all but while the textures are good the model itself needs abit of work.

I agree, the color is beautiful but I've never been a fan of that particular model. And I think you hit the important stuff in your report! :)

Edit: spelling, dang autocorrect

Your report was fine, Nef. :) I've always had trouble bonding with the Outlands raptors as well.

Quiv: No problem, one reroll heading your way. :)

Dansen really doesn't look happy about his new worm friend. :lol:

I have a hard time with that worm model because they make me think of intestinal parasites. Doesn't help that I tamed the one with basically "parasite" as its name. :lol: But! Different hunter, different worm. Maybe it'll work this time.

Edit: autocorrect fails

I'll do one more since I resubbed for another month :)

Bixy
lvl 50 currently
Exotics yes
mechanicals yes

Did consider switching and doing one on Serinar since she pretty much have four pets in her whole stable :lol:
just do a roll for whichever you think is more interesting, either of them works for me.

Serinar
lvl 100
Exotics : no as she's survival
Mechanicals no, haven't been able to get the thingy yet.

Now that I've gotten to explore all of the Broken Isles I fancy another roll and could use a new companion for WQs and general farming :)

Name: Varethyn
Level: 110
Exotics: No, gone Survival
Mechanicals: Yes
Restrictions: No monkeys or gorillas please

Heads up that it may take a bit to complete as I have found myself hopelessly addicted to a game called RimWorld lately x_x

Nef, I'm going to give a roll for both and you can decide to either do both, or pick whichever one seems more interesting to you. :)

Nefretiti(Bixy):
White Tallstrider

Nefretiti(Serinar):
Red Porcupine

Welcome back, Varethyn. :)

I'll try to do both most likely :) I just wasn't sure if there was a limit on characters per request or not :) even if it doesn't seem like it I do enjoy these challenges :) :hug:

I'll happily try a porcupine but would you mind if Seri tames the blue one instead of red? she has a dark theme going on with those few pets she has, I completely forgot to mention that >< if not that's fine :) just wanted to ask.

I r smrt! I asked to switch to the blue porky only to realize .. it's one of those annoying challenge pets .. it's not too hard to find but a pain in the hiney to tame without hunters mark ><
Either way, I eventually got him and will post my reports once I've ran around with them abit.

"Aye, it's worse than I thought." Zebabaru thought to himself, as he stumbled into the cave. Dargrul's antics with the Hammer of Khaz'Goroth caused many caves to open in Highmountain, agitating the cave-dwelling beasts into attacking the locals. And Zebab, with his animal expertise was hired to sort this issue.
Image

Tauren bodies littered the floor, their spears broken and armor shattered. Like our hunter, it seems like these Tauren warriors were tasked with dealing with the creatures. "Ye cannie just come stormin' in flailin' ya weapons." Grumbled Zebab while inspecting the bite marks on the Tauren's necks "Thought these bloody bulls are supposed to respect nature."
Image

"At least 'em cows helped me with sumthin', those bite marks mean we're dealin' wit some bleedin' bats 'ere." The Dwarf loaded his gun, though not fond off hurting animals he isn't afraid to defend himself if the task calls for it.
Image

Zebab rummaged though his bag and pulled out a candle he took from some kobolds earlier to break the darkness in the cave. "Now where are ye, ya bloody buggers?" Zebab grunted, waving his flame around.
Image

'CLUNK!' Zebab jumped out of his skin, when he heard it. A loud thud behind him as if something fell from the roof of the cave. When the lone Dwarf went to inspect it his blood ran cold. "A skull? That means..." He said as he pointed the candle upwards.
Image

A hundred pairs of crimson eyes lit up the ceiling, each belonging to a vicious winged beast suspended upside-down from their dagger-like claws. Zebab readied his rife, preparing himself for a hell of a fight.
Image

As each bat swooped in for the kill, Zebab responded with a swift crack from his rifle, grounding the creature with a perfectly aimed net. But his ammo was limited, and the bats weren't letting up.
Image

Just as he downed his 10th bat he heard a deafening screech. The source was a colossal green bat, it's wing span must have covered 5, no 10ft. It has to be the leader.
Image

The gargantuan green beast plummeted, fangs bared, right at the Dwarfs face. "STOP!" Zebab bellowed, narrowly dodging the attack "I'm 'ere to help!" The bat ignored the hunter as it readied for another swoop. "I'm 'ere to stop Dargrul.", and with that, the bat's assult ceased.
Image

"Dargrul's attacks 'ave been causing chaos for the local wild-life, as ye know, and I cannie let that stand." The massive beast bowed in front of the hunter and with that Zebab understood. "Ye thought I was one of 'em, didn't ye." Zebab said to the jade beast "Ye wanna join me and stop those attacks once and for all?"
Image

And so Zebab didn't just leave the caves with a sack full of gold that day, but with a new friend, and a new mission. Dargrul must be stopped.
Image

Reading the stories posted in this thread, I couldn't help but have a go at it myself, sorry if it was a bit too long. Anyway time for my actual review.

I didn't like this bat to begin with, every bit of it was creepy from it's face to it's veiny wings. No, seriously, look at that face.
Image

But after a while he started to grow on me, for a start his model is really high res, it looks great. Also i love it's idle flying, I know most people don't but I think it makes the pet seem more lively. He also has pretty cool attacking animations, one where he kicks the target and another where he swoops in for a bite.
Image

Overall I'd really recommend this pet to an undead hunter, or even for people like me who are making a transmog for Halloween.

Edit: Images didn't link correctly :(
