Looking for a spider pet to bond with

Unread post by Qinni »

Since I can use pets without worry of gimping my dps now I've been looking into pets that I would rarely tame. One of them is a spider but I'm unsure of which one to go out and tame. I don't like the fire spiders all to much...kinda want something more realistic. A little help would be nice for Qinni and her search for a spider pet. :c

Tarantulas have a lot of bonding potential, in my eyes, since they're fuzzy and adorable and a few of them have the CUTEST shiny black eyes. (the green and orange ones in particular)

I don't see many people using the spiky Outland models, but they're really detailed even though they're a very small pet after taming. Perhaps the diminutive size could be a fond trait?

I always thought the lava Tarantulas where adorable. I guess I have a hard time bonding because spiders are so tiny next to my Tauren. >.<

Spiders, spiders…
I've always had a soft spot for three Tarantula skins- the dark red, the grey and the magma. The red I just like the darker colors in. The grey has these absolutely lovely baby-blue eyes, which I think are just adorable. And the magma ones are, well, neat! xD They're also the only ones that, for me, didn't look very strange while running.

The normal, spindly-legged spiders can also be gorgeous. I'm quite fond of the Jungle skin, with its bright, flashy stripes and markings. I also really love the Olive skin, which has a ton of different colors in it- pinks, yellows, greens, reds and black. Really neat and gorgeous. The grey has potential to be lovely as well, with subtle but beautiful colors. I've always liked this normal model- it has a smooth run animation and is big enough to not look strange, unlike the spiky Outlands model.

Lastly, I really adore the spiky bone spiders. I always found the colors on them to be too cold and grim, myself, until the brown and black skins came out. The black is super shiny and reminds me of fall and halloween - a really interesting mix of colors. The brown one I like for its shocking bright green eyes. All of the bone spiders are neat for their cool under-leg webs, which I always thought were one of their best features.

My top fav spider's are (excluding fireland ones):

The magma tarantula has some nice details to its skin, the patterns are just so pretty, and the eyes say "pwease!!"
Image

This particular skin scars the Sh*t outa me, spiders in RL scare me and this one just makes my skin crawl.
Image

It reminds me of one of those Swarovski crystals,
Image

This particular one always makes me thing of something dark and mysterious, and very dangerous. The expression it has on its face is just so cold and calculating.

@Lupis: I just had to since you gave me the idea...
