I am an aries, love fire, the color red, and horned four footed friends like goats and rams. I remember back in LK farming rep on my human lock to get a ram mount (then getting the one from Brewfest when I needed only 400 rep).
When I heard that there would be goats in Mist I was so excited. I made sure to level up my tillers rep to get the mount, but due to raid needs in the guild and real life things I had no time to level my hunter until this past week. Though I've been saying since it was released in Beta there would be goats that I wanted one.
I am very happy to say that my patience paid off. After doing some research here on Petopia I learned about Stompy, the unique skinned gray goat (I think he looks more snowy than gray). As soon as I hit 88 I started looking for the tracks, I was questing in KunLai at the time, and ended up going up Mount Neverest without seeing any tracks at all. I kept looking and low and behold I saw a little footprint.
Now let me tell you, for those who have not tried for him yet, Stompy is relatively easy but a pain in the ass. He dose not agro if you try to shoot him. He just keeps walking, and if he walks out of your flare before you can hunter's mark he disappears again. I followed him from near one of the camps all the way up Mt Neverest (past Lorewalker Cho) before I was able to get him to stay in the flare long enough to get the hunter's mark on him, then ran down in front of him so he walked into my tame (as he decided to sidestep my ice trap).
I am so excited and happy right now. I know it's not the most exciting tame or most exotic beast... but he's one that really means something to me, after having to wait for him so long. I'm not sure what to name him yet... my first reaction was to call him retard because of his crazy tame... lol but I'm sure once I calm down and get over the shock of having him I'll think of a good name for my fluffy, hoofed friend.
Oh...and Sibeal is a space goat, so it just kinda makes it that much more perfect.
