Landro's Lil'XT Spirit Beast Loot Contest!

[Bulletdance]

Hi everyone, well its happened again. I got a few packs of cards and got two Landro's Lil'XTs (when I already have a lil'xt..... ) So its time for another fun contest on here!

The winner will get the code sent to them from me through a pm on here with some instructions on how to redeem it. Which is
http://www.wowtcgloot.com/landros_lil_xt.htm

Last time we had a contest it was more art driven so this time I thought we'd give the creative writing thing a shot. That way everyone can enter and have fun with it. So here are the rules and instructions...

1. Describe the spirit beast you would create if you were magically given the power to do so. (I is a lazy lazy reader no more than 2-3 paragraphs plz.) It can be a beast we're able to tame or one that we don't yet have in game. Remember while it can be a spirit we also have more elemental beasties like Skoll so be creative, heck give a back story if you really want.

2. Describe where it would spawn, what zone, what place, spawn cool down time (i.e. 6 hours, 2hous, and so forth) Bonus points if it seems to belong in the zone given the zone's theme or mood. So if you have a good reason its in the zone be sure to add that. And again no more than two-three paragraphs.

The contest will start tonight and end on Friday February the 25th. Have fun with it guys and good luck

I'd love to take part! Are we allowed to describe the beast with a sketch/drawing as well? :3

[Vephriel]

Ooh, fun fun! I was brainstorming on this idea while questing in Uldum, so it works perfectly for this contest. ^^


My idea is for a serpent spirit beast, a cobra to be exact. Her name would be Wajhet (spelling intentionally altered a bit) after the cobra goddess of Egypt. The model would resemble an Egyptian statue come to life. It would have a certain stylized, blocky appearance to preserve the visual effect of a statue or carving. The body would be a shiny black with a gold belly. A line of gold would run down the back from head to tail. There would be gem accents of ruby and sapphire along the body. Her inner hood would be gold with horizontal dark blue stripes, similar to a Pharaoh's headdress. Her eyes would be bright, glowing red orbs of ruby with golden markings to resemble Egyptian/Pharaoh eye makeup.

Wajhet would spawn in Uldum and would have three possible locations. The Obelisk of the Moon, Obelisk of the Sun, and Obelisk of the Stars. Her spawn timer would be 6-9 hours. She would be considered a guardian deity or a protector of Uldum secrets, guarding the places of knowledge. Possibly a Titan creation, but no one knows for sure.

You can add a sketch or drawing if you like,but I won't be judging based on them so it'd just be for fun. It might even be best to put it in another thread with your description and leave it out here. I just don't want anyone to be intimidated or feel like if they can't draw really well they won't have a shot at it.

And now I want to tame a snake! lol This might be a dangerous thread for the remaining slots in my stable.

I would take the model of one of the regular small raven birds. I would give it the idle animation of perching like the seagull used to do, roughly the same size as said seagull. Perhaps when he perches maybe a faint sound of tapping can be heard.

Now this bird would be a rare spawn inside Karazhan. Because Karazhan has several bust statues reminiscent of a certain poem. This bird would have a chance to spawn on one of the bust statues above the ball room.

It's name would be Quoth. The reason I see all this fitting together is Poe's time and Karazhan seem to kind of click together for me, Karazhan being an almost constantly dark place plus it already has ravens flying around. And I've always wanted a smaller actual raven as a hunter pet =3

[Azunara]

Oh yes. Old idea of mine, but I love it anyways. The picture came first, it's really bad. Not supposed to be impressive, just a quick picture of what I perceive it to be. Also, is this too long? D:

Name: Hazlik (Has-lick) the Spirit Moth
Spawns: Crystalsong Forest, Base of the Great Tree
Timer: 6 hours since it was last killed.
Level: 77 rare elite.
Description:
A lavender moth, with darker tinted wing tips. Dark energy runs through the creature, and is visible through "ley lines" on the creature's body. It has feathery soft antennae, that are extremely sensitive to both magical presence and physical presence of creatures. It has arcane energy emanating from its body, curling around it and then drifting off.
History: Created by a magi, the moth was seen as a "monster" and ugly, and was flung off the edge of Dalaran and into the forest below. It was expected that the creature would die, but it survived. The magic released by the ancient blue dragons who fell seeped into Hazlick, warping it into what it is now. It is extremely aggressive and bitter, and will not hesitate to kill anyone who comes close.
Attacks:
Nocturne Dust: Puts target to sleep for 6 seconds.
Wing Buffet: Knockback
Ley Sense: Sees stealth
Slash: Basic attack
Arcane Missiles: The mage spell.

Aye, I understand! ^_^ I will be writing a description along with the wee sketch, although I'm not very good at describing things through text format, hence why I tend to draw my thoughts and plans down instead.

Oh, and Azu, Hazlik sounds great. :O I've always adored moths, they've got a very "soft" and serene feel to them, would really love to see one as a spirit beast. *_*

[Kalliope]

I had a totally different spirit moth idea, and since it keeps speaking to me, I have to post. xD

The name would be a play off of Iridescence. Her wing pattern would be like the blue moth's in terms of spacing, but her colorations would be like that of stained glass. Her wings would be tinted like a rainbow, spreading out from her body from red to purple. Her body and the inner/connecting sections of her wings would be almost transparent, glass-like. (The transparency doesn't imply ghostiness, however; she'll be very much corporeal.) The fuzzy parts of her body would be softly curved, smooth.

She would spawn in Netherstorm at level 69, amongst the Shimmerwing Moths in Echo-Dome Midrealm. She could appear in 4-5 different locations within the dome, not wandering far from where she first spawns. Aside from a wing buffet knockback ability, she would also have a molten glass breath effect that would turn enemies in a cone in front of her to glass (a glorified stun) for 5-10 seconds. The latter move would be interruptable, the former would not.

[Samarachan]

Spectral Sporebat. Makes no sence? Well, here's my idea anyway.

Why? Because Sporebats are the only family with just 3 skins, they need some love.

Location: Small island on the east of Coilfang reservoir, Zangarmarsh. It's beautiful, and empty, perfect.
Status: lvl 65 Rare Elite
Respawn timer: 10 hours after killed or tamed
Name: Gaar'ra <The Broodmother>
Lore: She, along with Sporewing are sort of the parents of all the sporebats. Therefor she has the title <The Broodmother> under her name. After Zangarmarsh became more and more populated, the sporebats became endangered as they were being killed for their special dust and spores (you get a buff when you kill a sporebat). This caused Gaar'ra to go into hiding, hence it's very rare to see her in the wild. All the hiding and blending with the enviroment caused her to adapt and become spectral..ish.
React: Neutral, but turns hostile if you kill a sporebat near her.
Attack: She casts fear and has the ability to cammouflage, making her a bit hard to see. She may vanish when low on health to try to save herself.
Loot: Several Sanguine Hibiscus and Fertile Spores.

(sorry for being too long )
Here's a rough screenshot of my Cammoflaged bat with added effects in Corel, just to get the idea

[Cerah]

Ever since seeing a picture here (I need to find the link) of a potential raptor spirit beast, I've wanted *so* much to see one in-game. So my entry is a raptor, though different from the picture posted on the boards before.

Name: Tali <Loa of Resolve> lvl ? (at least 78 elite)
Spawns: Only a 4-6 hour respawn timer, but can appear in one of three different zones:
- Zul'Gurub, roaming the ruins the Gurubashi left behind (they should put something there!)
- In Zul'Aman, can appear anywhere in the instance, but most commonly right outside Zul'jin's temple.
- very rarely in Southern Durotar, near or on the Echo Isles

Basically, she shows up anywhere where Trolls have shown their stubbornness and resolve, their unwillingness to give up, even in the face of overwhelming odds.

Appearence: Like the Swift Purple Raptor mount from AT, with the headdress and armour, but without the reins and saddle. Light Purple skin, blue stripes, matching blue feathers on her headdress. Her eyes glow a much more intense blue than the mount's.

Abilities:
- Special: Voodoo Scythe -- Same as a normal Raptor's Tear Armour, except has a small (2-4%) chance of reducing enemies' armour to 0 for several seconds (a plate killer). Works on at least some bosses.
- Exotic: Spirits' Resolve -- Adds a regen effect to the Hunter (stacks with Spirit Bond), and his/her party or raid
- Extra: We Neva Die -- Once every 1/2 hour, Tali can resurrect her dead partner (you, the Hunter) if he/she dies. (like a Hunter version of Ancestral Spirit/Soulstone)

Even after threats from within, like the Soulflayer, and from without, like the High Elves and Humans never-ending drive to exterminate them, the Trolls of Azeroth perservere. They live on, they survive. Tali, the mate of fellow Loa Gonk the Great Hunter personifies Trollkind's unwillingness to ever give up, their drive to survive against all odds. Tali appears where the Trolls have fought their hardest, where their resolve has been felt most deeply.

Legend has it she once appeared and served as a mount for a Darkspear mage, assisting her in her relentless quest to discover the fate of her lost husband, who had died on Mt. Hyjal (back in WCIII), helping to ensure his people's future with the Horde. She was just one of the many Trolls, and other worthy individuals of Azeroth, that Tali has found and helped. It takes a Hunter with equal resolve to the Loa herself to find her, and perhaps be worthy of her friendship.

Ooh, contest!!

Felpaw
<Bane of the Legion>

Mannoroc Coven is a demon-tainted area of Desolace. The sky is dark, demon gates scar the landscape, and fel fireballs periodically fall from the sky. Near the outskirts, the wildlife of the area steer clear. Not all of them have escaped untainted, however.

Felpaw was a hyena like all of the others, but because of his lair's close proximity to Legion intruders, he has been forever changed. Tainted and filled with fel fire, most creatures would perish or give over entirely to evil--but Felpaw, stubborn and fierce, exists almost as a spirit (half dead but still aflame with life) rather than a demon. His hide is black, with green fire erupting where his markings used to be; his maw and eyes likewise blaze.

He is the first low-level spirit beast, meaning that a hunter could tame him as soon as they hit the appropriate level to spec Beast Mastery (the talent, rather than the tree). He would be Aggressive, rather than the Neutral of most Spirit Beasts. He would be found somewhat out-of-the-way, patrolling a small area through the back of the Coven before sitting on a rock overlooking his patrol route, periodically standing to patrol again. He would attack any Burning Legion mobs that come near, displaying perhaps bitterness or even hatred toward the taint that grips him. In addition to being a lower-level beast, he would also have a quicker spawn timer than most, due to his area: six to eight hours.

For illustrative purposes:

His model would be cleaned up somewhat--and use the old Hyena idle pose--rather than being a blocky hyena like ours, but I'm not great at touching these up

[SpiritBinder]

Name:
Zephirinor the Wind serpent Spirit Beast

Spawns:
Ulduar, One spawn location but has a very large path that covers nearly 1/2 of the zone. Patrols quite high in the sky similar to the TLPD's height and moves very fast, 150% mount mount speed.

Timer:
6-8 hours since it was last killed or tamed.

Level:
85 rare elite.

Description:
With the Cataclysm tearing the land asunder, elemental spirits of old have been awoken in the lands of Azeroth.

Of the elemental court of Al’akir, this daughter of the skies has always longed to leave her place within Skywall. A wind spirit obsessed with the skies, she secretly yearned for others to explore. Now with cataclysm sundering small breaches between the planes of the elemental and Azeroth, her chance had come.

Taking form as she entered Azeroth’s new sky, her spirit entwined into that of a winged beast of speed and beauty,
Zephirinor the Spiritbeast was born, free at last.

Attacks: (Most are a little OP, but could be so much fun )

Tempest storm:
Creates a moving Wind Vortex for 8 seconds that slowly moves towards the target cast upon. Any player/mob caught in it's path would suffer a 10 yard knocked back. If the storm reaches it's target it will electrically erupt, causing %base nature damage and interrupting all spells being cast by the target and all other targets within 5 yards.

Protective winds:
Similar to a Druids Cyclone, but self cast taking you out of combat for 5 seconds while also placing a small HOT effect.

Lighting Purge:
Purges one magical/enrage effect off the target.

Basic attack:
Bite

[Ceravan]

I think I would go with the classic wolf look, but make it midnight black (think oil wolf without it being targeted) with lime green glowing eyes, and a lightning effect similar to skoll, only the color of the lightning would be closer to that of green or lime green, add the effect of green oozing out of it's mouth (think corehound) and you got an interesting look. It would spawn in felwood, near the corrupted areas, and be about as large as a bear rather than a wolf. If it could have it's own special, it would be a corrupted bite, which would stack, causing an attack power/armor debuff or a slow. Due to it's nature, and longevity being corrupted itself, it would fall under the tenacity tree rather than ferocity, and it would be a wolf, so it'd be non exotic. It'd be named 'Corrupted Feltail Wolf' or something like that.

And PS, totally wrote this without lookin at anyone elses, just so i'd have my own idea, and after readin others, looks like Felpaw is very similar, lol.

[Unggoy]

Name: Faht the Spirit Frog

Level: 85 Rare Elite

HP: 133.7k HP

Mana: N/A

Rarity: Spawns once a day, and only stays active for 10 minutes. Once it has either been tamed/killed/despawned, it will not spawn again that day. Still making it rare, but not forcing hunters to camp all day if they have proof of one of the prior happening that day.

Spawns: Ummm, i think i would have it spawn under the World Tree in Hyjal. The pool of water below the World Tree seem like a very fitting place for a beast such as this.

Model: I'm lacking in the art talents, but imagine a blown up frog companion pet model, made some sort of green spectral. Or perhaps some sort of solid frog skin, with extra detailed moss and the like growing on him, to simulate how ancient he is.

Tamed Abilities: Basic Spirit Beast Abilities + Spectral Leap (because its a frog heh.) which is basically a Heroic Leap.

My girlfriend is a huge frog fan, so i of course have taken a liking to them since ive been with her. So were i granted such powers to create a spirit beast, this would of course be created for her. She doesn't play a hunter, but she sometimes connects more with my pets than i do, lol.

[Wajjldkaat]

My first thought for this was... The mysterious fox!

Name: Frost
Level: 85 Rare Elite
Spawn point: Deepholm (in the whole outer area)
Spawn time: 12-24h
Untamed abilities: Eletric shock (paralyzes you and makes you unable to move or attack for 15seconds)
Tamed abilities: Snow Storm (surrounds the target with snow, making them immune to move from place in 10seconds.
Tail Whip (tosses frostballs on their target)

This fox will be similar to our white fox we have ingame now. But just like Sonic the hedgehog's friend "Tails" this fox will have two big fluffy tails!
And different to other foxes, she will have wings, and fly around in the outer area of Deepholm.
This magnificant beast will not be a hostile mob, and she will be a bit hard to see, just like "Ghostcrawler".

(Like this one, http://hundtass.be/Frosty.jpg)

[Sasrei]

oh! Neat! Lets see

Spirit Beast: King Draco of destruction

Description: Hes a a rare spirit beast devilsaur. He has a black skin overall with red, and grey slashes throught out his body, flames cascading out of his mouth and a large rune on the right leg, the symbol that Thrall gave him. He also has black cold eyes that peirce into the hearts of any who see him.

Back story: He was once King Drenor, father to King Krush, King Mosh, and King dred. That was until the Twilights captured his beloved Wife Queen Desinea and used her as a decoy to lure him into a summoning ritual that summoned a powerful entity that corrupted him causing him to kill his love. A powerful shaman boy named Thrall came and casted a spell that pinned King Draco into a land of despair, leaving him to wallow in pain and agony. But this was not before Thrall created a crest.. from the heart and tooth of Queen Desinae. It is said that whoever posses this can once again take the heart of King Draco and set him free from his pain and agony.

Found in: In mount Hyjal ontop of the mountain volcano near the spire.

Spawn timer: 6- 12 hours

Attacks:
If hostile
Nerfbite: a bite that hits for over 100k.
Black gaze: An attack that fears the person into place, causing them to lose their sanity for 10 secs.
Draco Reaper ho: a slash attack that hits for 10k, and has bleed of over 50k over 10 secs.
(basically.. he KILLS you *nod nod* woot you no kill my rare.. you no kill!)

If Neautral
Chomp: a bite that hits for 5k
Uncertainty: a random fear that he may do
Desnaes love: A random heart pops over his head aright before the tame is done.

Also: In order to be able to tame this spirit beast, you must do a quest "The king will return" that will give you the Necklace "crest of Desnae" that you wear in order to turn him neautral to you. If he is hostile to you.. his nerfbite will pwn you, this is an attack he only uses if he is hostile. The quest has no quest line and is given by an npc named Desnaera who is in Mount Hyjal there are no prereqs and its a simple as finding a few things off some easily killed mobs.

[bluddy]

very nice contest ^^

Spirit beast: The great A'tuin

description: A giant turtle travelling through space flying towards his/her destination. This mysterious turtle has four elekks on his back carrying a disc which when looked up at close proximity, seems to be a flattened azeroth. Unknown where this turtle is from and unknown where it is heading towards every single Azerothian seems to salute him with respect and holds it in high esteem though most people don't have flightest sense of why.

where it would spawn: Southern uldum and flies in a direct line towards northern kalimdor. Yet it flies 1 yard higher every 250yards *not good at distances so dunno how much higher per so many yards it should fly* to despawn if nobody tamed/killed it.

neutral to attack, lvl 85
Wild spells: Boomerang attack: description: One of A'tuins elekks throws the rather havy disc-world at all enemies in combat *forty yards range* 100 million damage, undodgeable, unblockable, unparryable and it can't miss either. 11seconds cast time.

24-36 hour respawn timer

P.S. i'll get a screenie later ^^

[Ana]

Ooh, contest!!

Felpaw
<Bane of the Legion>

For illustrative purposes:

:

I would SOOO tame that!!

[Aleu]

Name:
Kitsune.

Spawns:
Likely Twilight Highlands, perhaps on a 12-15 hour respawn timer.

Level:
85 Rare Elite. (Neutral)

Description:
Tweaking the typical fox model a bit, her fur would be a pure white color (Including her legs) with a strange golden aura about her. She does has nine tails, each with a small dab of sparkling silver at the end of them. Her ears also have a small splash of silver on the tips. She would be a bit larger then most foxes and her tails would curl upward much like the Pokemon Ninetails does, when she standing or walking. They do stream behind her when she runs. Her eyes would be a golden color with a small red dot as her 'eyeball'. I'll see if I can get a picture.

Attacks:
Tamed Attack
Ghostly Lock - Kitsune uses her power jaws to hold a target in place for 3 seconds and inflicts a curse affect that reduces all attributes by 6%.
Tricky Step - Kitsune simply Shadow Steps behind her target, increasing her attack power for 3 seconds.
Also retains the foxes Trick ability! She'll still be dancing! <3
Untamed Attacks
Ancient Fires - Kitsune blasts the target with an blue like fire dealing a (massive...) amount of damage. 3 Second Channeled Affect.

Origins:
Kitsune has been portrayed in several different cultures, although the most common or well known is Japanese. They are mostly noted to have multiple tails, growing an additional tail every 100 years. One, five, seven or nine tails are the most commonly used. So it's been said when it reaches it's ninth tail, it becomes one of the most power beings, gaining the ability to even see things that are happening anywhere. Since Skoll is based off a wolf from Norse Mythology, I thought it'd be nice to see a Spirit Beast based off a popular folklore. WoW could join the list of games/anime/etc who have used the story. XD
