Fellow Petopians on Karmic Hunting Sprees

So, a few days ago, a fellow petopian and I duo'ed through most of aq40, right up to the bosses we needed, then got a tank and healer who rock to come in, and my friend got his spawned beetle. He had to go, but we stuck and I got my Princess Wasp--big ole ugly thing that I kinda like now. She washes her face so cute. And in BG I can just see her driving people nuts because she is HUGE. Gave my Tauren tank friend a complex :}
We always talk pets when we are on, and I knew he was camping Maddex but had not yet seen him. I kept saying, "I don't want him, maybe...." I fly through there sometimes, mining, and keep an eye out, but not that big on the scorpid.
I wake up this morning and can't go back to sleep, so decide to cruise through the Basin after my last lust: the King. He is not up, so pop to Org and through portal to Uldum to get some ore, and maybe an elementium pet for my priest partner.
Been there a few minutes, getting ore, when bam! out come the drums and NPCscan sees Maddex.
I fly down, and think, dang you are ugly, in a cute kinda way. I look at friend's list--no fellow hunters on. I tame him. He is brown, the ONLY color of his I DID NOT want if I ever tamed him. So, I pop to the basin again, wishing friend had been on....when....
He logs on. Not two minutes after my tame. I "woman up" and tell him. He takes it well, since it was the ugly brown one after all :} I make a round through the basin, and no green dino, no bird, no loque. Nada.
Then, on my second round just before I give up, I spot loque patting around on the ground up near the last set of gorillas. I type "Loque is up!" and friend says eek he just went through portal to Highlands, but is ON HIS WAY. I track him as he comes to me, while tracking Loque, who is gorgeous in the wild, and then my goblin friend drops from the skies and tames his Loque.
Does anybody actually like this silly brown color on Maddex? Sigh. For now, he can stay in the stable until I spot another of his better colored sister scorpids--blue blue blue. Anything but brown! So, Good karma for us both today. Two rares in under 30 minutes!
And I did kinda find a dress that matches the brown scorpid. Sorta.

*hand up* Getting a look at the image as you show it, it looks like a gorgeous golden brown color to me.
I'm happily full up on tank pets, and I don't have a particular love for the 'pin' ability. So I rather doubt that I'll ever take Madexx if I saw him in the wild. That said, I would love to see him in the wild, just because I love seeing rares in the wild!

Brown is actually one of the colors I want, along with green and black - green being the color I want the most. I like more "earthy" tones so the blue and red don't really do anything for me.
Grats to you, in any case. Gah, a little piece of me dies inside each time someone tames him. I still haven't even seen a corpse after a week.
But yeah, grats!!!

This was my first time seeing him alive or dead, but then I just fly threw twice a day, do an ore round and out. Will keep him for now.... Wish we could have a pet swap meet! I have a Sambas and Maddex up for trade ;p

The Golden one was the first Madexx I saw, and like you I was like.. "crud why the brown.. the last one I wanted!.. why not blue.. or red.. my faves" but after going around with him a bit I started to like the guy and once I named him Alucard. It fit well.. not hes enjoying my stables with my other madexxs, and I do take him out as well
Aww Rhyela I am sure hell pop for you! On my server not alot of people are looking for Madexx I dont think cause ive never seen any other hunter looking for him.. except one other hunter, but he got his madexx (and I gave him a black one to a different time) so it seems pretty quiet here besides the questers
GL on your krush hunt to

Congratulations for the tames!
Brown madexx is actually my favourite, followed by black, green and blue...well anything bu red to be honest!
I found the red and green ones but sadly didn't menage to tame any of them, hopefully the damned aracnid wont elude me forever!

To me the brown Madexx is appropriate for the zone in which he spawns.

Scorpion's don't pin, they disarm.
OT: I think the brown color is pretty in its own way, although the black/red one looks fierce. I have no real plans to tame Madexx, but if I did, I'd probably go for the black/red color.

Whoops! You're right. My memory's crap.
Although I have my Dai for disarming, and there's noooooooo way I want to replace him!

Happens to the best of us.
I just didn't want someone to read this and accidentally get the wrong idea about the scorpion ability. =P

Well, first off, congrats on your tame, even if he's not quite what you were hoping for. And yay for helping oque find a home!
But my real question is, what dress is that? :3

Those robes are : Elegant Robes of Arcane Wrath--not sure what instance, maybe aq40? Or BWL? Went to both of those recently and I always need, among my group of friends, new smexy robes :}
