WoW Petopia Community

Oooook so, I used to be Cassandris worgen hunter BUT I recently made a baby troll hunter to play on a diff server with a friend I met on here. And.. I..I love it.. So heres my delima.. I dont even have ANY pets in mind for her..nor a theme. Cassandris was a transformers themed hunter with transformer names. But this little girl - Vulpixen - well.. I dont know much about her other than she has green hair.. She has no theme or anything atm nor do I know what pets to try for her.. any suggestions? - Thanks in advance /whispers - for the horde...

Maybe a gem theme?

Oh that is pretty...with all the diff names..maybe alter them a bit to sound trollish... That'd be gorgeous...but hmm - I'm not sure about trollish language or how to do that

Yeah could do that. I know Lisaara was Orc pet type with Gargoyles Names. I did a bit of a MARVEL theme too.

I've always wanted Chromaggus just to name it Bronx - but yeah I guess stuff like Emeryld...maybe... Idk how to make it trollish rofl

Bronx is on Jessi. XD The Bronx on Lisaara is one of the hounds. XD Lisaara's Chromaggus is Belloc.

Offtopic but I remember a month or so ago on FB it was change your prof pic to your fav cartoon character to help stand out against child abuse.. Mine was Demona

haha! Mine was Mew Ichigo from Tokyo Mew Mew. XD

LOL awesome - I loved that show too, do you remember Card Captors and Sailor Moon too?

Oh you bet! XD

Why don't you just... tame pets that you really like?

I mean, if you want a theme or whatever that's great, and I fully agree that some pets just "suit" the character (or vice versa), but there's nothing wrong with taming skins that you, as an individual, just find really striking or sweet or happen to click with

Personally that's what I'd do. Don't plan any tames (and don't stalk Petopia for skins), but as you level, if you happen to see a beast that catches your eye... I think it'd be fun to have a spur-of-the-moment stable.

That's what I do, and I also recommend it. Planning is so tedious, and then you realize that your choices all suck.

I've gotta agree with the anti-planning committee, as of now I just kinda wander around and if I see something I like I tame it! And its working great for me, I have absolutely no theme in pet name/color/type but I love them all equally

There's nothing wrong with making plans. My stables now don't look much like the plans I made before 4.0, but I had fun making plans, just the same.

I'm with the anti-planning. That's Aloicious' theme, basically. .... well, more like 'rare and challenge tames'. But that *is* a bunch of tames I like!

If you're still wanting a theme, you could just go post over in the 'random pet themes' thread?

I'm in line with that idea:) My 'planning' tends to be along the line of hearing that some formerly untameable mob is about to be tameable and thinking 'yeah ... I've always wanted a ... "

I still wait in hope for the purple spirit wolf.

I guess I mainly meant an idea of pets people think would look good with her, I like to have ideas in mind and so far I only have high level rares.. It just gives me something to look forward to as I level, that and I love a naming theme, sometimes I break it of course but.

Welcome to the dark side!!!

I started as Alliance way back when - played there for nearly 3 years on a PVE realm and decided to try out horde on a PVP realm. I haven't gone back hahaha!

As for a pet theme I will try to help a bit later- but I can't right now because I cannot actually see the image of your troll (I'm at my student teaching internship and most of the image sites are blocked, hence images don't show up. )

So, in short, I will respond later this evening!

low level pets to start you off:

brilliant macaw from deadmines
blue crab
green crocolisk
blue demon dog
white fox
dark grey monkey from deadmines
blue moth
grey raptor
brown scorpid
green tarantula
blue turtle
green firefly
white wolf

And here's the wowpedia article on the troll language, hopefully will give you some ideas.

I never plan my stables, but I can certainly see the appeal on an alt. I can't really suggest themes, although I do hold the Random Pet Theme challenge in another thread as mentioned; it's up to you to decide what you like As far as naming goes, though:

If you want to know a bit about the Troll language, check here, the Wowpedia page on Trollish (Zandalari). It shouldn't be hard to alter the names to suit your pets.

You could easily change, for example (going with the gem theme) a red pet named Garnet to Garnitt, or Sapphire to Saffir, for some kind of approximation of the language.

Another option is to go with actual Troll words. Shadra, Kaz and Thraze, for example, are words with known (or guessed) meanings in Zandalari.

Or, the third option: Get your friend to roll a non-troll alt. Say the chosen (gem, or whatever) name to them in Trollish, and ask them what it comes out as. For example, Garnet might come out as Italaf, Quashi, or Saakes, among others, but it'll be consistent, and then you can name your pet that. The bonus of this method is that you could point to your pet, to an Alliance player for example, and say the pet's name to them in Trollish
