Favorite Spirit Beast

What's everyone's favorite spirit beast in the game so far ? I personally like Loque’nahak. The 2nd one is alright but the name Gondria sounds like some sexual disease you caught...

Never been a fan of Gondria, i would prefer one of the other cats like that with a different colour (Which they put in Ulduar?). The name isn't nice either...
I don't have a problem with Loque, Skoll or Arcturis. All three of them look cool, have pretty awesome names and i can't wait to get one! Probably will try Arcturis, as there's only 1 spawn spot.

I like Gondria, even tough she might be a sexual disease. I dislike Loque, I think that model is horrible!
Skoll and Arcturis are kinda' cool I guess, but their lack of stealth animations makes them less cool.

I find gondria was just a recycled cat model and flashy animation. I love the original model. It looks bad ass. Shame it doesn't have the glow the others half. That would look really bad ass.

I kinda love arcturus. I managed to tame him at lvl 75, originally I wanted to use him only till i could get Loque, but his invisibum and preety colors grew on me. One thing i love is that if you look at him from behind the poofys sparkles make him look like hes constantly farting...

My baby is Jakuta (Loq SB). He was my first SB tame and still my favorite. As for Gondria, I am a bit disappointed with the choice...would much rather have seen the untamable cat skin from the cat in Storm Peaks. Lol, at least once a week I fly to that little remote ledge and check him, hoping for a glitch or something that would allow me to tame him.

Skoll is my favorite. What's better than a Wolf with Lightning around him? Not to mention the fact that he can prowl. I think the bear is actually my least favorite.
As a side note. What untameable cat in Storm Peaks are you talking about? I don't think I've ever seen it.

I never really liked any of the current spirit beasts. Loque I find to scrawny. Gondria and Arc are see-through which might look better if I couldnt see the back of their face through their ass. Now Skoll has a nice colour and the lightning effect is pretty nifty but unfortunatly I can't stand the Northrend wolf model (I think they look like some sort of starved beaver). So for me Skoll would be the best out of a poor bunch, really...
I still have a Molten Core Hound in my stable, nothing says "stay out of my way" like the big red flaming ball of nasty
I would tame a Devilsaur or a Silithid before I went back to spirit beasts, really.

Too me Gondria and Arcturis are basically the same. Just rehashed skins of different colors on plain jane cat and bear models.. I'm a fan of Skoll and Loque.. Altho Skoll is a rehashed Northrend wolf I still like.. And Loque is a unique skin... I was hoping that instead of Gondria plain jane cat look.. They would allow the taming of say the Blackmaw skin... The black metal looking skin... That would have been a better Spirit Beast skin, give him the sound of metal stomping as he walked and steam puffing out of his mouth and nose... Hehehehe too cool

I think the model of Gondria is fine. It's just a little too transparent and the same is true of Arcturis. I have Gondria and when I put her in Wrath, she's even harder to see than normally. (yes Gondria is a she)

I just can't get over how Gondria's name looks so close to that of an STD. xD

I love Skoll absolutely love love him.
but still WTB a wolf that looks like a Rottweiler. I named Skoll Noah, which is the name of my Rott which is the most amazing dog ever. so If they had a SB that looking like a Rott I would die

I like all of them, but I dislike Gondria's model.
I like the Spirit Beasts because they're fresh and new, and their Spirit Strike reminds me of lazer chicken boomkins. cx

Actually arcturus isn't just an old skin made transparent.
notice the curly markings and the varying opacity. The ruff is probably borrowed from the tauren bear model. Gondria is the same opacity the whole way through (like a ghost saber)

Also his Facebutt isn't as bas as gondria.

Erm, I think Arcturus is from the NE bear form.

I'd have to say Loque. Just the sounds and looks are really good on him. That and he's a god's jiggalo.

Not a whole lot of similarities there

Yeah, Arcturis is pretty unique. It's not just a bear-form Alliance druid, he has quite a few differences.

Hope they give him a unique roar too. Didn't gondria have normal cat sounds at one point?
