Name That Pet: Skullhunter’s Wind Serpent
Skullhunter, a level 70 hunter from Alleria, sent me a very straightforward request for help naming his new wind serpent:
I’m just a total raider. I love being with a group of friends and taking down that next big bad guy on the list. This pet is just to do good damage and be semi-unique among all the orange ravagers in the raid. I’m looking for an Awesome and Unique name to go along with an Awesome and Unique pet.
Got any good ideas for an awesome and unique name that will help with wonderful wind serpent stand out among all those orange ravagers? Post it in the comments!

Well, with a name like Skullhunter, I’d say something like:
SkullCollector (may be too long…)
Cranium
Headbutt
Noggin
heh the first thing that came to my mind is Nightmare – as in ‘your worst nightmare’ for all those bad guys :)
Bluestreak. *LAUGHS*
How about Falkor? Bonus points if you know the reference. :)
OrangeRavager. Probably too long.
I had a sysop named Falkor once. That’s the big furry dragon from the Neverending Story, isn’t it?
Yes, Falkor is the dragon in The Neverending Story.
*Hums the theme from Neverending Story*
I have the exact same pet, im of German decent and i named my pet Blitzeflügel, meaning Lightning Wings in German. maybe something of your ancestry or something…
or i know someone who named his “Bolts” as in lightning bolts lol
Zzzzap, my friend named his that, i went with Spazzy, due to the spazzing wing movements, while its out and your walking
Stolen from a Guild member “Skullphogger”
Mine’s named Temari.
Sigh, Die Unendlisch Geschishte. I haven’t read that in ages.
I’m not good at helping with names, but some advice about Windserpents to pass along. Maximize your ranged attack power. Lightning Breath gets quite a boost from that spell bonus.
I’d say Azure or Cobalt if you want the name to reflect your pet’s color. Volt, Discharge, Static, or Blitz make good names that refer to the windserpent’s main attack. Aggresive or out-right attack names could be Vanquisher, Wingblade, Shiv, and Whiplash (referring to its tail). Saphira (a name from Eragon) is an great name if you make your pet female. Although this name doesn’t fit windserpent as well as dragonhawks (specifically the shadowmoon valley ones), Ridley is an awesome name in my opinion (he’s the coolest boss in all the Metroid games and my favorite villian of all time).
Yossir, lvl 68 tauren hunter, Staghelm, 0/15/40
I had windserpents for a long time, and if Blizz hadn’t wrecked their moving animations, I would’ve kept mine for raids. I always named it the same thing, no matter what color it was, so maybe you can use it to.
Hiryuujin. It’s Japanese for Flying Dragon King.
gyarados
Stardust :-)
Certainly is nice to be the flashy hunter in the raid. As for naming him/her, here are a few various ideas I scrounged up:
For something everyone can reference (some with a less-than-serious tone) -
“Serge”
“Tripwire”
“Microwave”
Various names of Gods -
“Zeus” – in reference to his lightning bolts
“Thor” – another thunder God
“Ares” – God of war
“Pillan” – God of stormy weather
“Tyronica” – Goddess of battle
“Bia” – Goddess of force
Good luck in naming your wind serpent. ^^
My husband has a red Scalewing Serpent from OL, He loves it! he named him Sparky, corny, but it fits, especially when he sends him in to attack something, and he does that little spit fire sound, so cute. I have the Daggermaw Lashtail from there as well, I named him Taz, and I added Dash, so now he really reminds you of a Tazmanian Devil :o).
I like Javelin, Zap, Arrow, and Iwiperaids
I like Thunderstar. Its the name of the warrior cat who had fur as yellow as lightning, with lightning reflexes and swift speed. Its a cats name but it’ll fit the serpent too.
My boar from RFK is named “ISavHlrs.” Prior to the inglorious boar nerf of 2008, he saved many a healer. I’d like to pass his name along.
If nothing else, you’re guarenteed to get heals on your pet and respect from PuG healers.
With a toon named Skullhunter: A few things came to mind
shrunkenhead,
headshrinker,
Myshrink,
Kaze (Kah’zee) (japanese for Wind)My WS pets name
Hero
my favorites tho,
“Something”
“Who”
“what”
Its Hilarious to read the CL and see “Who” hit Hydros for X .. or “What” hit VR and in pvp.. someone dies because “something” hit them. I do think they fit Skullhunter because they mess with the mind.
I have a green wind serpent (because it matches the hair color of my hunter lol) and I named her Stórm. I wanted to go for Storm, but the game didn’t approve it :(
On the other hand, with a char-name Skullhunter, the pet name would be cool to be skullseeker or Skully (or Scully if you like the X-Files).
This is a good list so far. How about:
taser
spinebreaker
amp (it’s not the volts that get ya, it’s the amps!)
ohm (in case its actually the ohms that get ya)
I have cats named leeroy and bonzai, as they’ve both been known to wipe a raid or two in their day.
What comes to my mind, given the blue color and lightning attacks, are -
Stormstrike
Bolt
Striker
Lightingstrike (kinda obvious, I know, but I threw it in here)
And because I’m a Futurama fan I just have to add ZappBrannigan even tho it doesn’t fit what you asked for. :P
Well my favorite pet is Humar the pride lion. I named him ‘Stilton’ but i really don’t know why… strangely enough its my only pet that is remembered by name !!
working on the lighthearted approach, try
‘Getahead’ – well, it fits with Skullhunter
‘Flaps’ – because it does..
‘Lithium’ – those batteries last ages!
‘George’ – i bet everyone would love him and hug him… :)
or following the deity theme, there’s..
‘Tiamut’ or ‘Bahamut’ – dragon gods
‘Raiden’ – God of thunder
Good luck choosing btw
my boyfriend has a list of names for his pets and they are all named after food
a owl named lemon pepper, a cat was named teriaki (s?), a boar named pork chop,
he said he’d name his snake ” deep fried” cause thats how you eat snakes
Cezar
Spike!
Yossir – Ridley is, I must agree, the coolest boss in Metroid (Or many other games I know, he is one seriously cool bird.)
Anyway…
For names, I suggest something like,
Wintergale
Winterstorm might not fit?
Rain simple but nice.
Dragonthorn
Dragonwing
Winddragon
Zapwing yeah, cheesy…
Sorry, I am not awesome at names for this skin.
Though this probably doesn’t fit yours so well, my white wind serpent is named Seraph. Seraph is the singular form of Seraphim, a high ranking order of angels. Name literally means “fiery flying serpent”, although fire /= lightning I thought it fit well enough.
As for the Thor suggestion, Mjollnir is also good. Mjollnir is the hammer of Thor, the act of using this hammer is what actually made the thunder/lightning.
Pikachu lol See they both shoot lightning and that way you feel slightly better when it dies in a raid :P
To borrow from BSG, Boomer.
I named my original (orange) Wind Serpent ‘Sandstorm’. It seemed fitting considering where I tamed her (the Barrens) and her lightning ability. I just tamed a blue Outland Wind Serpent like yours and named it Tsunami – seemed to go with the look and carried on the natural phenomenon theme.
I named mine Voltaire. :)
ChaosZeruel, the only windserpents with “wrecked” animations are the Outland windserpents. :) The old-world serpents still fly perfectly well! I went to ZG to tame myself a Son of Hakkar for this very reason.
Ansawa: Yeah, guess I should’ve specified. I prefer the appearance of the OL windserpents over the Azeroth ones. Plus, I already have a big enough headache trying to raise my Undead boar from 60, I don’t want to do the same with a new Windserpent
Might I suggest “Tesla,” in honor of the scientist whose machinery chucked lightning bolts (and who also invented the radio, as well as several other really cool things)?
I named my Windserpent “TeslaCoil,” as sort of an offbeat snake-type joke at the same time.
iceflurry
whatI never seem to get over is the fact that outland windserpents have shark-like gills, so name it after a fish or related to fish, or name it after a species of shark.
I suggest:
Jaws
FlyingFish (double meaning)
Megalodon
Coelecanth (sp?)
Sushi
get what I mean?
You’re Skullhunter. So name him Predator.
Because the one from the movie was also collecting skulls as trophies and because he has Lightning Breath (like the plasma Predator cannon).
