If a Dev came up to you and said...

[Acherontia]

"YOU! For all of your accomplishments, your dedication to the WoW community, the friends you have among us Blizz folks, and/or the color of your shoes...

We would like to create and place a rare tameable beast in your honor! You can pick the model, skin, name and place!"

What would you say?


For me--a worg, probably silver (Gorefang color) or the blue-white, or if possible a color-changer covering all colors. I'd name it The Vagabond or Feral War Wolf, and leave it roaming around The Crossroads somewhere, preferably patrolling around it, at level 10 (so starting hunters could get it). Or call it The Guardian, and have it spawn on the road from XR->Ratchet, facing Ratchet, neutral to Horde and aggressive to Alliance ;D

Edit--I should probably add a "why," as should you in your answers I love the worgs, and wolves, and I love the pale colors on them--very "me" ;D And The Crossroads is where I've "lived" most of my WoW days--doing lots and lots of world PvP, as in World Defense

[Celi]

I'd probably ask for something that looked like a chicken Put it in Westfall maybe. A feathered tallstrider with proper wings and a roosters tail. Black and silver stripes like my beloved silver crele Brahma. Feathered feet as well!

Can you imagine the other factions face if you used that in pvp?

"Holy #### what is that thing! Ahhh run!"

[Azunara]

"You mean you like my shoe color? Reaaaaally?"

Uhm...

The STV panther skin, located in Terrokar. He would be spectral/ghostly...Just a regular cat. He would be:

Midnight
Guardian of Firewing

In reference to my first pet that ever really clicked, Midnight. I released him in Terokkar when he was level 53, so he'd spawn at 53. Neutral beast.

[Kira]

Hmm, that's a hard one. Probably a cat, dark coloured, a panther but With spots. Bright ones, maybe..neon green? And glowing green eyes. Not sure of the name. Maybe Kira, or possibly something like Rrax. Ooh, actually, I like Rrax, go with that. Rare spawn in either Hyjal or the Basin, level 78.

I've always had a thing for lime green and black, so the colours combined just makes me happy. And the name comes from another nickname of mine, for a very select few people.

[Kurasu]

Oh man. I'd definitely want a turtle. My pet-tanking obsession should be properly immortalized in a 'tank pet', and while I love beetles, turtles have been part of Kurasu's identity for too long to abandon it.

For color, I'd want something white, black, and/or aqua. Maybe shining. I'm very, very fond of those colors, and would love to see them on a tameable model turtle. Maybe a spirit beast turtle? I'd totally, *TOTALLY*, go for that, though a turtle-turtle would be fine. I'm a very spiritual (note: different than 'religious') person, so a spirit beast or spirit-y-colored creature would reflect that wonderfully.

The 'where' would be the hardest part. Wherever it is, putting it on land (a tortoise, rather than a typical 'turtle') would be great. Something with multiple spawn points and a rather large pat range, so it could wander the extent of its territory, and so finding it would be a little harder than camping one single point. Back when I was a little dwarf, exploring, collecting, and achievements were my big thing.

Finally, a name: if it's genuinely in my honor, I'd want to see it named in a way that I could point and say 'THAT'S ME'. I'll admit it. Doesn't need to be 'Kurasu', but I *would* like it to be obvious. I'd also like it known as 'Loremaster' or 'The Wise' in its title (Rasuku The Loremaster?). Loremaster was my biggest pride and joy when I completed it, and even today that's probably one of my favorite achievements (other than 'The Insane', but I wouldn't want my pet to be named 'The Insane').

[Ijomi]

A spectral Gyreworm. Dull gold color base, but shiiiiiny, iridescent like the crystals in the Vault Of Lights on the Exodar. In honor of my Goblin, I would name it "Gold Digger". And so everyone would know it was me that sent it, I would request it be on a short respawn timer....at one spawn point.

[Rottingham]

Easy!

Lurking deep within the dark recesses of Loch Modan, a lone beast has beaten all odds to survive the new conditions! It is called Falkorn <defender of the shrubs> and it would be a brown model sporebat, BUT it also has a green mist around it that never fades away!

[Acherontia]

Rofl, I meant existing model/skins, but I like the ideas behind some of these!!

[Rottingham]

Rofl, I meant existing model/skins, but I like the ideas behind some of these!!

then no green mist, idk. Falkorn <defender of the shrubs> needs no fancy green air around him anyway!

[Acherontia]

Oh no no, it's all fine. In fact green mist is okay anyway--it was more the giant chickens and green spots that tickled me

[Moore]

Tameable large corehound puppy pet like Runty from BRC ;_; loves me sum runty.

[Celi]

Aww come on, who wouldn't want a giant chicken for pvp?

I'd call him,

<Brahmi>
<Spirit of Westfall>

[Raydex-of-the-dawn]

A ghostly version of the gray owl named Teremus with the title <Grouchy Old Owl>. Tere was my first pet...I clicked with him ages after releasing him, if that makes any sense. D: He would be aggressive and level 10, but he'd spawn in Silithus.

Oh, and he'd be a carrion bird.

[Kirrandria]

Hummm... of all my pets, the only one that needs an update is my bear, as all the rest are 'unique' in some way. While it would be cool if, say, Nthanda could get her own rare spawn and have it be the raven critter model, my bear needs the update most!

If I had to choose a pre existing tameable skin, he'd be a normal black bear and he'd spawn anywhere along the top of Duskwood, and with all the other black bears. Maybe a 3 hour spawn timer, like most lower level rares... He'd be neutral, but he'd be about 5 levels higher than all the surrounding mobs, and he'd hit like an elite ( and have the health of one, too! ), so that questing people won't accidentally kill him And he'd be big! It's would take someone actively seeking him to bring him down, or rather, hopefully, tame him.

If I could choose an existing skin that is -not- tameable, I'd go for the black bear mount! I always imagine that my mount just happens to be my bear... In RP, he's that size, maybe bigger. Maybe he could switch spawning between the alliance and horde version? Some people will get him with blue armor, some with red!

Of course, if I could create my -own- bear, it would be like the worgen bear form- only pitch black, and none of the extra designs/trinkets. No bracers, no necklace, no druid symbol, none of that. Just a big, pitch black, worgen like bear. With long claws and glowing red-orange eyes :3

His name would be Taronyu, after my bear

[Kurasu]

Actually, that's a good point, Ray. Maybe instead of naming my pet after Kurasu, I should name it 'Panzer'. That'll be something everyone knows me as anyway. Panzer <The Wise>. Or maybe Panzer <Guardian Of The Ages>.... I like that.

[Slickrock]

tameable cranky gnome hunter with mini-felguard pet?

[Makoes]

For me, I think I'd love to see a Stoneskin Hyena (all stoneskin, even mane, feathers, arrows), with two feathers behind one ear, and 2 arrows sticking in its back. Glowing yellow eyes. It would be a rare spawn summon...similar to the ghostsaber, but the hyena figurines would spawn orange hyena's called Canyon defenders, and there would be a very rare chance of this stone hyena getting summoned. He would be called: Great Seto <Canyon Protector> as for location...Deadwind Pass.
The figurines could be found anywhere there.

[Acherontia]

AND THEN THEY GOT SUED BY SQUARESOFT

[Vephriel]

If I could select a new colour scheme/appearance I think I would go with a Warp Stalker. Reptiles have always been 'my thing'. They're really a wonderful creature though, a fantastic mix of lizard and dragon and all sorts of reptiles combined in one. I adore them! I have an obsession with black and white stripes, and seeing as they're my token colours, I'd apply them to the pet.

A black Warp Stalker with white stripes and glowing red eyes would be my choice. Something like this, though better looking since this is just a quick edit. x)


I think Deadwind Pass would work splendidly for his location. A dark, spooky sort of atmosphere. I'd have him spawn in that large Graveyard that's near Karazhan. It would be cool if he spawned at exactly Midnight realm time.

The hardest part is the name...since I use Morbid in my usual alias, I'd probably build off of that. Morbidak perhaps...(Morbid + Gezzarak?)...yes.



Okay, maybe I put too much thought into all this.

[Wassa]

I would put no thought into this, just make Hahadori an NPC in-game.
