Deimos is one of my favorites. This guy called to me when I saw his skin on petopia. I'd never actually seen anyone with an orange devilsaur since everyone uses the white/black/green skins, and I immediately went out to Un'Goro in search of an orange dino. An hour had passed before I stumbled upon a Tyrant Devilsaur (after finding several white devilsaurs first, of course) and was completely enamored with him. I tamed him and wasn't sure what I should call him. I referred to the Name That Pet index and saw Deimos - which means "terror" in Greek? I can't remember the origination of the name. I absolutely loved that and immediately decided to call him such.

Ahh, Nuramoc. Always eluding me, always hiding from me. Not anymore! Once a day, I took a break from my Aeonaxx camp to look for Nura. I did so before I started the camp and finally I managed to find her after what seemed like a year. I wanted to call her "Amethyst" or "Jewel," but those were a little boring so I found "Bijou" which means jewel - but it's in French and sounds prettier.
She is such a beautiful pet.- Bones

Bones. My new pride and joy. No, the name is not creative in any sense of the word compared to something else I could've come up with, but Britany and Bones sounded very "right" to me and I had to name him that. I found him after a raid when I went to Blasted Lands just to see if he was up...I love his skin! A couple minutes later, he spawned and I was taken by surprise since I'd never seen him before (and I've been in Blasted Lands many times). I use him constantly and he's my sidekick these days, along with Phoenix the cat.

I never had much of an attraction to tallstriders. But after the glitched fire pets were fixed, I looked at the tallstrider that it had morphed into and almost kept him. It was actually kind of pretty. Still, I felt as if he needed to be remembered as "my flame pet" and not "my tallstrider," so I released him into the wild (aka abandoned him in Deepholm...hope he's doing okay
). Last night, I was thinking about that day and then I thought about the purple tallstriders, which I was always fascinated by but never went out of my way to check out. The urge to tame one became strong and now my new purple 'strider resides with me in Deepholm because he matches the scenery. He'll look great next to my Phosphorescent Stone Drake once I get one!!- Skitterflame

Skitterflame. The spider I always thought was beautiful. I already have Deth'tilac, and I don't want to fill up my stables with spiders again, so I abandoned Kirix and Solix and promised myself that I'd ignore Skitter. Once, my guildmate showed him to me because he was up, and I attempted to tame him for the lulz. The guildie thought we were killing him and, well, Skitter went bye-bye. Ever since then, I've had this recurring thought of taming him. I helped my other guildie tame him the next time I saw him up, and the thought played in my mind more and more.
Finally, I got so sick of Deepholm tonight that I went off to the Molten Front and eagle eye'd over to Skitter's spot as soon as I ported him and I hear NPCscan go "BLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAARRJGHJHDLKDSF" extra loud because both Kirix and Skitter were up (I swear, I see Kirix every time I'm in MF). Then, I noticed a hunter trying and failing at taming him so I ran over as fast as I could. Then I remembered the jumping rocks. Oh, how I hated those rocks. I fell off the very last rock and died because I never do my dailies and no druid could save me.
Luckily, I was close enough to Fireplume Peak so that I could rez there. It seemed like I couldn't find my body fast enough. I finally did, so then I mounted up and booked it. Skitterflame was still there waiting patiently. But I couldn't get up on to his ledge! The stupid air vents were defective or something. Finally, I got up there with 2 elementals coming after me. I feigned death and noticed the hunter was trying again. I gave the hunter another go and he died about 2 seconds later. So, he watched me (he hadn't released spirit yet) as I used Scare Beast and tamed Skitter. It went as smooth as it could. I was so happy.
I decided that it was fine to have 2 spiders in my stable, as long as I love them both. So, I plan on keeping little Skitter even though I haven't even named him yet. The other hunter ended up getting Kirix 2 minutes later, so everyone was happy.
And that, my friends, is all about my brand new pets.
