I'll probably copy and paste this into my teeny little taming journal, too, but I felt that this special tame deserved its own post. I've had my eye on the white Cataclysm crocolisk for a while now. When I first hit 39, I went out looking for Ripscale, but didn't find him (I did find Hayoc, though). I went a couple days without playing my hunter, and Ripscale kind of went into the back of my mind.
Well, tonight I logged on and no one I know was on, so I figured I'd head to Dustwallow to let my spider go. I just wasn't feeling it for her, and figured I'd put her back where I found her. I let her go, then remembered Ripscale. I went to go find him and not long into my search, I found him! I should have taken a pic of him pre-tame, because he was quite large!
The name Ivan (the Terrible) first popped into my mind, so I began typing it out. However, the name Vladimir suddenly came to mind, and it sounded more BA, so I went with that instead. Well, the entire time he and I were out getting leather, I kept calling him Ivan in my mind. I eventually began to say out loud, "Go get them, Vladimir!" to try to drill his name into my head. It worked for about five minutes.
Back in Orgrimmar, I headed to the leatherworking building, but decided to make a trip to the AH first. I bought a certificate of ownership, and he is now Ivan (the Terrible!). He really, really wanted to be named Ivan because I just could not stop calling him that.
I LOVE this crocolisk. He's not so much white as a very light grayish-lavender. The lavender tones really show in certain lighting, while he looks more gray in other lighting. He's totally gorgeous. Er...handsome.
I wouldn't try sharding these purples.....
I adore crocs. <3
