Name That Pet: Thtswatshesd’s Spider
Final name: ibite
Among the influx of new and exotic pets, some hunters are focusing on the basics: a loyal wolf, a hulking bear … or in this case, a cunning giant spider!
Thtswatshesd, a 36 orc hunter in the Outland Outrunners guild on Mok’nathal writes:
Thtswatshesd, a 36 orc hunter, was fascinated by Bloodmyst and Azuremyst Isle bestiary. So he set out to get a Ravager.
But while he was going around Bloodmyst Isle, he saw the dreaded Zarakh. He had heard stories of level 70s running away in terror from such a beast! It charged at him but he was too frozen to move. But he unsheathed his axe and killed it with a couple of blows.
He knelt down to loot the corpse when he saw that it was only a level 19 spider. He knelt in sorrow … and at the same instant an egg hatched and out another one came. It charged, but this time he was ready.
He tamed the beast and returned to Orgrimmar. But he needed a good name for it.
That is why I am asking you. I know you can think up a good name for this dreaded beast. A funny or dark-themed name would be good.
Zarakh is one of my three favorite spiders. I’m certain we can come up with some great suggestions for this unique and terrifying pet.

That’s a good one lol, first one I’ve read. I say a good name should be Anarak, or for added amusement, Eightlgsoffear if it fits! Good luck with which name you choose!
Hmmm….not sure if you want serious or funny but how about:
ibite
arachnaphobe
peterparker
seemefearme (see me fear me)
atelegfreak (eight legged freak)
Shelob (LotR spider)
webmyst (from bloodmyst)
poisonmyst
certaindeath
I suggest Widow or Matron. These both seem very hordish, spiderish names! I like uncomplicated names and not using compound words since we can’t use spaces, it looks weird.

Ebonfang
dreadfang

Hope this help you out thx!
My Tauren hunter alt’s name is Arachnophobe, and her eight-legged friend’s name is Webster. I suggest Webster, it makes me giggle >_> There’s also Anansi the spider. And a few other names that come to mind:
Asanbosan - African version of the vampire
Arachne - from Greek mythology, means spider
There is only one name that comes to mind and it is a name that I said I would name a spider if I had ever tamed one myself.
“Webster”
I guess his name is supposed to be That’s what she said.. Hmm.
*Ponder* I’m stumped, but I’d like to see some silly names that go with that joke, and would fit the spider.. Bahaha. xD
got one for my alt and named it briarthorn.NEVER do that if you herb or run with a herbalist.its mildly confuseing.
perhaps name it “shesaidwhat” ?
I don’t know why, but your Spider made me think of T.S. Eliot’s “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.” More specifically, the lines…
“I should have been a pair of ragged claws
Scuttling across the floors of silent seas.”
Which is funny, because your pet doesn’t really have claws, nor does it do anything across the floors of silent seas, much less scuttle.
But, I thought the word “Ragged” or “Scuttle” or something derived from those words, when I saw your pet’s picture. Happy Hunting!
If you want obscure name it Ungoliant after the giant spider that poisoned the two trees in the Simarillion. You could even just shorten it to Ungol. That fits the harsh sounding Orcish tongue quite well. FTH
Does that spider still shriek loudly during battle? I named mine Banshee because of the sounds.
ArachNick
@Corrado - LMAO at what you wrote… Oh /wipes tears from eyes, oh that was good.
@ Naztheros(Syrelil)- you on Sentinels? :) If I see ya, I will moo at ya. Is that what his name suppose to be - “That’s what she said”? Sorry, Thtswatshesd, but it makes sense now that I read it.
@ Thtswatshesd - How about “Hesdwat”? (He said what) or “Onohedient” (oh no he didnt), lol. Enjoy your new friend and good hunting to ya
Wonderful tale, and I am not much on spiders.. But.. Funny um.. How about..
Creepykrauly (nice pun on RFK)
Or
Kreepers, She looks like a Kreepers to me. *grins* Thank goodness I am not afraid of spiders.
One of my little hunter alts has this one, I named it Thorn. Because of it’s barbed look. Briar might also be good.
@Thtswatshesd Great story! :D
My suggestions:
LilMissMuffet
Creepers
Voriator!
Forget what it means but thats what mine was called when I picked it up 20 levels ago, then dumped it ’cause it was crap ^^
Widowmaker
Ariadne
=D
“Lolth” is a fictional goddess in the Dungeons and Dragons fantasy role-playing game. Lolth (Lloth in the drow dialect), the Demon Queen of Spiders, is the chief goddess of drow elves.
“Spid” from a story by Ray Bradbury called The Homecoming
I had him for a while and kept his name Zarakh. But if I were to get it again, I’d name it “Ebony.”
Or to match your name, “Itwasher.” :P
Hope those help in throwing ideas out there! Good luck naming your Zarakh! ^__^
Octavion
Good story, I like your RP style.
For the spider, apart “YouKilledMyMom” which is a little bit funny I would go for
PHOBIAK… a mix from Hobia (Greek word for Fear - and Zarhak)
from previous post, iut’s PHOBIA the Greek word… sorry for the typo.
since the players name is ‘thats what she said’ how about ‘irlitle’ (i am little)
how about trenton? or redips (spider backwards)
How’s “TheWidower” for dark themed? or “Webster” for silly :P?
I like the name BriarRose for that model. If you know the original fairy tale, it’s pretty dark, so it suits a big scary spider.
Octopussy.
Since your hunter’s name is Thtswatshesd, why don’t you name your spider Isaid (”I said.”), Betreconiz (”Better Recognize!”), Whozshe (”Who’s she?”), or Watdshesai (”What did she say?”)?
Oops, just thought up of some more …
Saiwhat (”Say what!?”)
Nuhuh or Uhhuh (”Nuh uh (no)” or “Uh huh (yes)”)
Shiztripin (”She’s trippin’!”)
… I thought these were some pretty funny ideas :-)
Ungoliant (The Silmarillion)
A great spider name that is so underused
Id call it ‘Cheese’ just to cause a few worried looks.
Well, I always find a Latin name for my pets. My lion is called Smilodon, my bat Rhinolophus, my Devilsaur Tetanuras. A spider… Xysticus, Atrax, whatever. Look up spider on Wikipedia, and you´ll get tons of different names.
Arachnattack
I can’t believe this has been passed up so far: Shesgotlegs, Legs.
Some others - Orb, Charlotte, Domino, Licorice, Camel, Sunny
Well I have a spiddy and the name is Incywincy.
Cute name for a nasty wee beasty.
Doubly so now it has a web which stops those rogues tearing around all over the battleground
/grin
maybe “YouAreSoDead”…not bad name for a spidey :D and it fits perfectly :D
or Phobos @_@
@mania
one of your three favorite spiders? what are the other two?
@topic:
i named my spider Anansi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anansi)
I second Daikyu’s suggestion of Shesgotlegs. Hilarious! :P
Mania likes spiders? Eeeeww! The first time I saw these guys I thought, “Oh God, not MORE spiders!” And these are especially creepy. Good story though.
Charlotte is a popular spider name. I do think Webster is really cute. I’ve always prefered Japanese and (with my tauren hunter) Native Amercian names. You could call it Kumo, Japanese for “spider”, or, for added meaning, Kamikumo (biting spider). I also found Amimono which means “web”, but that might be a mouthful.
For some Native American names:
FEMALE
DEZBA: Navajo name meaning goes to war
GALILAHI: Cherokee name meaning attractive–sort of a silly thought
KANTI: Algonquin name meaning sings–if you call their screech singing :P
MALIA: Zuni name meaning “bitter.”
TADITA: Omaha name meaning “one who runs.”
For a MALE:
AHIGA: Navajo name meaning “he fights.”
AKANDO: ambush (my tauren’s raptor has this name)
GOSHEVEN: leaper
HONOVI: strong
MEGEDAGIK: Algonquin name meaning “kills many.”–if you like longer names
Hope these help. I’ll admit to hating spiders (in real life as well), but kudos to getting a different pet. You don’t see many spiders around, and, admitedly, they are better now that they have web.
Since the “That’s what she said” joke is in the same realm as “Your Mom” jokes, I’d go with
Urmom
Or if you wanted a continuation of the TWSS joke,
Spit
Ilikit
Yum
How about..
Squishy/Squish
Squirt
or something else amusing along the lines of what happens when you step on a spider… :)
Seryth: Naraxis and Rekk’tilac.
Selesti: I like most pets. :>
If you want to go with the masters name, how about any of the things you’d respond “that’s what she said” to?
Itsnasty
Sosore
Moreplz
Or what have you. Personally of those I like “Sosore” I mean “So sore!” “That’s what she said!” LOL ok… revert to adult mode…
Otherwise I really like the name Ungol (shortened from Ungoliant) that’s such an obscure name, I’ve never seen it on my server in 4 years! In fact, I’d forgotten about it myself. Not that I’d use it, I distinctly dislike spiders. Especially this model. Ew flashbacks of Nax.
Good luck on the name!
What about “Kthxbai”? ^^
Inthe very(veryveryvery) rare occasion i tame a spider, ive always named em Xoroctath (pronounced Cor(core)oct(OCTagon)ath(rhymes with bath)
Thanks for all the wonderful suggestions Guys. And I think I’ve made up my mind. I think i will go with ibite.
Thanks

@ Thtswatshesd - No, thank you! Siggy loves one thing in life (well, besides my family, my last little gurl - Miss Omega (last of the 3 gurls - Miss Shorty, Miss Alpha Beta (aka Tuffy) and Miss Omega, my ferrets.), money (whats his is mine, mu-hahahaha), my paycheck, good health, etc, etc, etc, and that is CLOSURE!
Thank you for sharing the name you picked. It is a winner! Good hunting with Ibite.
Awww, Blackarachnia woulda been better ;)
Or Tarantulas…but it fits a Tarantula spyder moddel better.
Ive been in love with these spiders sence Before BC (black widows) used them even though they were horrible pets glad they can finally web. Ive tamed this one for my twink.
Everyone ive named..
ELVIRA
