Zelda-themed Pets

Since I don't yet own any of said pets I felt it wouldn't fit in the Show and Tell section. Feel free to move it.

A friend of mine recently started playing WoW again and pestered me into making an Alliance alt to play with him on. I've been toying with the idea of a Zelda theme for my pets, including enemies, bosses and bestial renditions of some characters so I opted for it to be a hunter. Being the unoriginal twit that I am I made a male night elf by the name of Ghirahim.

Here's a list of ideas I have so far for pet/name combos:
Bosses

Aquamentus ImageImageImage
Argorok ImageImageImage
Armaghoma ImageImage
Gleeok Image or, if they ever become tameable: ImageImageImage
Lanmola ImageImageImage
Moldorm ImageImageImage
MoldarachImage
Molgera Image
Mothula ImageImage
Trinexx ImageImage
Scaldera Image
Volvagia ImageImage

Enemies

Aracha ImageImage
Bullbo ImageImageImage
Dinolfos/Dynalfos Image
Guay Image or, if it becomes tameable Image
Kargarok ImageImage
Keaton Image since there's no such thing as a yellow fox (yet).
Keese ImageImage
Lizarlfos Image
Rope, pretty much any serpent skin except ruby.
Skulltula Image

Characters

BeastGanon/Ganon ImageImage
Hero('s Spirit) Image
Link Image
Midna Image

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the skin choices, and which skin fits best. I'd prefer to only have one of a family type if possible. Additional suggestions are also welcome. Any references needed can be found at Zelda Wiki.

A night elf? Not FABULOUS enough! The only thing that would work well for Girahim would be a blood elf male, considering their overly feminine pose and animations, and how Girahim was incredibly....disturbing with his animations.

As for pets;
- Black Helboar for Ganon. It's the most monstrous form of the pigs, so it fits the monstrous form of the Ganons.
- For Armoghoma, use the second skin you selected, the tarantula.
- For Link, I'd suggest a black Worg. He didn't have a severe underbite, but it looks closer to his feral appearance as a wolf.
- For Midna, no pet works. She never had an animal form. Go with Navi and use one of the magical lanterns from Enchanting.

Yeah yeah I know and I feel positively awful for it. However I did say I was pestered into making and ALLIANCE alt, so given the other options it was fairly obvious which to choose I think :) If my friend gets bored I'll race change him to something more fitting.

Again I knew this. I wasn't aiming for direct animal forms from the game proper, just something that fits. And black-and-white kitty fit best.

I think that kitty for Midna is perfect. I look at it and can see Midna's eyes. Well done! I <3 Midna. So pretty.

I definitely agree with many of these. Personally I think the regular black wolf fits perfectly for Link - he's not a very massive wolf, he's really unusually slim.
