First Time I've Ever Had a Rare Call Me! (Two Rares Even!)

Unread post by Talaridan »

This is really, really weird...and maybe sounds a bit crazy but....

I'm not usually up at this hour, let alone in game. However, I couldn't sleep so I was puttering around and suddenly had a very, very strong urge to go to Sholozar Basin, like....right now! It was a weirdly urgent feeling, which is strange because I never just randomly 'need' to go somewhere. I tried to ignore it and literally got fidgety. So I finally gave into the urge and headed to the zeppelin, feeling a bit silly, sure I was just wasting my time.

I get to the Tundra and fly my mount toward the Basin, still going in my head 'what the hey are you doing, huh? There's not gonna be a thing out there and you're wasting your time!'

So I crest the mountain's edge, dip by the nearest pillar by accident and....my addon goes off! It scares me to death and...It's King Krush! I'm sure he's going to be dead or already tamed, or someone will be in mid-tame, but...no. There he is! Just calmly pacing around in a place I've never even seen him spawn.
Image

And then he turns and walks right toward me. I'm sure it was chance, but it certainly felt like he wanted to come to me! Without thinking, I hit tame, waiting to get...chopped, feared, something and....nothing! I don't know if I resisted or what, but he didn't fear me once! Next thing I knew he was mine!
Image


So, I'm sitting there, considering hearthing and....that feeling to just do one sweep just overwhelms me again. Just one quick look around, what's the harm? So I put away my newly found green friend and mount up, just following the edge of the Basin, not really looking for anything....

And just above the area full of eagles...it goes off again! It's Loque! But it can't be Loque! I have never, EVER found Loque! I've never seen him wild! He'd dead. I'm sure he's dead, or it's bugging. I didn't even realize he spawned right here! I always heard it was down by the rivers.
Image

I land, look around and...there he is. Not even pacing! He was just sitting there, looking around and he looked right at me for what felt like a longer time than normal. I target and hit tame, almost sure that something is going to go wrong! I didn't even remember to trap him. He leapt right at me, took a swipe that didn't even land and...he was mine!
Image

It was so incredibly strange! I've never had too much luck with the really 'rare' ones and I wasn't camping, or even really searching. I just had a strange urge and figured 'why not?'. It really feels like it was meant to be. I've tried two Devilsaurs (black and brown) and they just weren't for me, but the more I stare at Krush, the more gorgeous she is. And yes, for some reason, I feel like mine is a she.

Loque is the same. I don't know why, but he's just remarkably endearing to me. He just seems to suit Khi so well and I can't quite put my finger on why.

Is it weird to feel like a pet wanted you? :oops:

GZ x2!!! :D

It's awesome when something like this happens! :) That's just where I found my Krush too, but mine was purely by accident waiting for the rifts to open for the pre-cata event - he just strolled through the bushes and nom'd on my sister's Pala xD VERY frantic flight to stable master to put away a pet to tame :3

I still think some of the wrath pets are rarer than the cata ones, and so much cooler! :D

Again, congrats! Have u picked a name for them yet? :D

That's how I got Terrorpene the other morning! I just had a feeling to go fly down around the spire, and wham, turtle! My first spotting of him in the wild. Now I have a fire turtle that, thanks to a story on here, I call Firepoot to myself, even though I named him Anvaren.

Melentari and Tevildo - she tamed him a long time ago.

Those are the two spawn points I found my own Krush and Loque at. Grats on both tames!

I have had those "go check on so and so right now" feelings. I found my Karoma and Sambas after an urge to hit Twilight Highlands - my Sambas actually spawned as soon as I got to one of his spawn points.

You lucky dog (no worgen pun intended)! I have searched for Krush for 2 years and have yet to even see him. I don't bother camping him, because Northrend rares are hard to camp because they have so many possible spawn points and times, but I have been doing fly-bys for 2 years. I got Aotona and Loque in that time (Loque I got the first time I even bothered to look, and it was Aotona I wanted the most), but saw Krush only as a dead dino being murdered by Nesingwary lackeys.

No, no names yet!

They're getting personalities.

My Krush is definitely a LADY. Which is weird. I've always seen the model as male before.

And my Loque is a male.

My albino devilsaur is a girl too :3 And she wrecked havoc upon the innocent town of goldshire...
But anywho. Does it really matter if the original mob was male/female, and you decide what gender they are?

My black devilsaur is a girl. IDK, something about the dinosaurs makes me see them as females.
