I can't believe I got this guy already. Of all the pets I've collected and filmed on Beta, this is probably the only one that I truly wanted to keep in my stable forever. I'm sooooo happy! I wanted to give this amazing pet a worthy name and thought, who better to ask than my fellow Petopians! I would love to hear your name suggestions!
Thanks!

I honestly have no idea - I've been mulling it over because he's the one pet from Cata I really want... Something to do with crystals perhaps? He looks a bit like quartz or opal (though opal isn't quite jagged, is it?).
Something like this is what I was thinking of:

This is the source site, which has a bunch of info about crystals:
http://www.rockmanjoe.com/Limecity.html ... Uhm, how about Celestine? Apparently it's a "beautiful blue tabular" crystal. That sounds fitting, if it's female at least.

Ah well, the picture is from the site linked right below. There are tons of images of crystals on that site.
Edit: and now that I replied to the thread, the image is showing up for me..

You know, I just realised now that this is for Terropene and not Ghostcrawler.

For Terropene I've no idea, but I stand by my suggestions if you tame Ghostcrawler!

Ahh, I like the crystal theme for Ghostcrawler a lot! I'll see if I cant find some neat ways to describe lava or fire for a Terrorpene name.

I checked wikipedia and found this:
A lava flow is a moving outpouring of lava, which is created during a non-explosive effusive eruption. When it has stopped moving, lava solidifies to form igneous rock. The term lava flow is commonly shortened to lava. Explosive eruptions produce a mixture of volcanic ash and other fragments called tephra, rather than lava flows. The word "lava" comes from Italian, and is probably derived from the Latin word labes which means a fall or slide.[3][4] The first use in connection with extruded magma (molten rock below the Earth's surface) was apparently in a short account written by Francesco Serao on the eruption of Vesuvius between May 14 and June 4, 1737.[5] Serao described "a flow of fiery lava" as an analogy to the flow of water and mud down the flanks of the volcano following heavy rain.
Personally, I'd be thinking of Tephra, Magma (a little obvious, I know), and Serao. Tephra is my favourite.
The site is rife with great names: Felsic, Rhyolite, Dacite, Andesite, Mafic, and Trachyte are just some of 'em. Hope it helps.

I named mine Morla from The Neverending Story. I have a literary theme for most of my pet names. Morla is a female, but I always thought she was a male when I was little.
