Name That Pet: A Trio of T-Rexii
Final Names:
Torthrasher: Atalzin
Cronoras: Abaddon
As you might imagine, the plethora of new pets in Patch 3.0 has lead to an veritable flood of Name That Pet requests. So I’m gonna cheat and double some up. Today: that sexy black devilsaur!
First up is a request from a troll hunter named Tukuta:
Hi, my name is Tukuta and my pet is a devilsaur. I’m looking for a great name. His name on the PTR was Jaws, but that was a placeholder until I can get him on the real servers. I don’t role-play but here is my devilsaurs story.
I was running in the wilderness when I spotted an elusive and crafty beast. While so large, he always snuck up on me as a young Hunter. Now it’s my turn. I spotted the huge creature’s tracks and followed him to what seemed to be where he was born, an abandoned nest.
He was desperately searching for a friend, so that’s when I learned my destiny, to put this Mighty animal to peace. We have been close ever since, defeating many foes.
I’m looking for a name thats reminds me of a troll, as they seem like dinosaur-y kinda guys. Something to strike fear into the hearts of my enemies.
Next is a troll hunter named Torthrasher from Madoran:
I caught a brand new devilsaur today. It took me a while to track it down in Un’Goro crater — it almost seemed like it was hunting me for a while. I kept getting quick glances of it before it disappeared. I’d like a fierce vicious name able to strike fear into my Alliance foes right before they feel the wrath of my pet and hear the quick twang of my bowstring. I usually play fast and take my enemies down as quickly as possible.
I usually pick my own names for all my pets. I’ve never taken anyone else’s suggestion, but I’ve racked my brain trying to think up a suitable name for this quick and fierce creature and nothing sounds just perfect.
And finally we have a simple request from a night elf hunter named Cronoras:
I’m sure since the patch you’ve been flooded with name requests for the exotic pets that are obtainable right now, but I was hoping I could get you to post my request for a name for my new Devilsaur. I’m looking for all types of names.
So let’s see … we’ve got:
- Tukuta – troll – troll-like, a name to strike fear
- Torthrasher – troll – fierce & vicious name
- Cronoras – night elf – all types of names
Let’s see what we can do!

Troll like names.. Always thought Zulthrak sounded harsh and trolly..
Terror would be without a doubt a good name for a T-Rex.
And Twinkle, if you would like a comedic one!
I’ll think of some better names soon, I am hungover!
Thor.
Well lets see what we can come up with:
For Tukuta: WARNING, Bad Mojo, IsmokeElfs.
Torthrasher: Savage, Lacerate, No breaks
Cronoras: Bite me, Nasty, Humongosaur.
Oo, nice, first post!
Subtle/Sneaky would be pretty ironic names for this pet, which I always find amusing!
For troll names, I’d simply look through WoWiki and assemble a name from one of Blizzard’s many NPC/Boss names!
Hope it helps,
Thor
For irony, I named my devilsaur “Fluffy”…
I named mine Roflsaurus, only because Roflsaurusrex wouldn’t fit. :P
Density
I named my Devilsaur Bitey :) Hope that helps ^-^
How about something voodoo-y like the war loa Carrefour for the trolls. For the night elf, I don’t know, something Darnassian, like “Tor ilisar’thera’nal!” = “Let our enemies beware!”.
I just found another Darnarssian phrase, “xaxas” = A short title with many meanings, all dire. “Chaos, “fury”, “The embodiment of elemental rage, such as found in erupting volcanos or shattering earthquakes”, “elemental fury”, “catastrophe”.
I’ve been debating on what to name mine. I really like the misspelled names of the Lich King Devilsaurs, King Krush and King Dred. I’ve been trying to come up with something similar without much luck. Right now it’s between something like Gor (Gore) or Kolosso (colossal) but I can’t make up my mind.
For a troll like name, I have a troll hunter named Zarumbai, which I think is very trollish and could work for your Rex. Also, just off the top of my head, there’s Juktala and Dokringo.
i named mine ironhide :D
Wow wouldn’t think i’d be included into a trio or all of us would have the same devilsaur model lol still haven’t seen that perfect name yet though but I did hear a couple interesting ones thanks so far petopia and keep em coming lol.
I named mine Grimlock, after the Transformer.
Also named my gorilla Beastbox.
Yes, I’m a nerd.
I also picked that kind of Devilsaur for my Tauren hunter. I thought Stompy was a fitting name. :)
you can call them all “nodpslol” since you don’t have go for the throat and are gimping yourself.
if i get a black one im gonna name it Ironhide, i got a white one named Brighteyes currently
i named my devilsaur Sue after the most complete tyrannosaurus rex ever discovered.
yea. . .dinosaurs have been my life’s passion for 18 years
Zaffun
dont ask why why? CAUSE I DONT KNOW WHY
What do you call a blind dinosaur?
Doyatinkhesawus!
I wonder if that fits…
KingBurger
my wife just caught this one and named it Ducky
Shiina:
All you need now is a Carrion Bird named Squawktalk.
Hmm…my pets are called: Nanaki, Bahamut, Materia, and GalianBeast. (yeah, I have a theme)
“stay away from the voodoo”…what about “Voodoo” aslo;
Zulgesh, Zulzan, Kortuka, Torkora
Dynist, Shadowclash, Darketh, Maulkroth, Colaus, jukother, Rapture, Repth, Htaed…and just for fun Hictibelttil.
For the night elf hunter of the bunch, I named my own devilsaur Aistas. It means “impact” according to a elvish-to-common online translator.
Do you PvP? If so…then MrKisses.
Nobody wants to be eaten by a lizard named MrKisses.
1. Tukjin
2. Swiftmaw / Snapjaw
3. MrKisses
How about T Wrecks?
Its a nice enough name.
For the two trolls here are some suggestions:
Name Translation in troll*
Zulzin “Great Destroyer”
Zulatalai “Great Devoted One”
Atalzin “Devoted Destroyer”
*A rather rough translation at that!
I named My Ironside Devilsaur Deghar, it means Trouble IE: Here comes trouble!
Lets see what I can come up with
BamBam, you know, the Flintstones kid
Kanin, means ‘bunny’ in danish :3
Cornelia, that’s what I called my first raptor
Blitzregn(or Blitz), because I’m quite happy about Kaizer’s Orchestra right now.
Hre, what I named my devilsaur (Abandoned him right after). Hre is a person in a story I’m making..
Ho crap, those names suck.
It’s a bit ironic, I think it’s harder to find a good name for other people’s pet, than for your own. But oh well, I hope they helped at least somewhat ^^”
Irony is to tame a devilsaur and name it Smurf :)
Personally I find Transformers to be a gold mine of pet names so how about:
Grimlok
My Raptor is named Stridor
Not v RP but my 2cents
Sharptooth for you Land Before Time fans. n.n;;;
‘Tis what I named mine. And The Land Before Time kicked arse back in the day. ;P
I named mine Spanky… :]
Abaddon (Hebrew אבדון Avaddon, meaning “destruction”).
Saw one in AV earlier named ‘Bobbosaurus”
Best. Name. Ever.
I named my black devilsaur Oblivion. :)
Bubba would be cool, or Bubbasuarus, or HubbaBubba. Of course, I named my White Devilsaur Chomper after the land before time :) and for a troll-like name… AltHakkar
TinyTim
RaptorXXL is kinda funny i think
Maybe Sharptooth…
Or Littlefoot! >:D
General ideas: Someone on my server named hers Ironhide, which I think is suitable. How about simply “Rex?” Doesn’t seem like a bad idea to me.
Here’s what I think for Cronoras: The night elves are a very graceful, quiet race, and for one to run around with something that goes BOOM BOOM BOOM is really all the irony you need. So I would go with serious names, such as Ishnu, Golemm, or Chronos. Something non-compound would look good, but anything that’s not “RAWRLOL” or “BIGSTEAK” or “FEEFIFOFUM” will do.
For the trolls: I’m not really an expert on troll names, but I also think that serious-themed names may be the way to go here. Thorondil’s suggestions are great. I think Thor would suit Torthrasher’s rex and Zulthrak would suit Tukuta’s rex.
… … …Littlefoot!
Why don’t you name it “not-enough-talents-for-GoforTheThroat” and add to it “Loos-much-pet-potential” :p
edmund, Pepp: Please stick to the naming topic. This is not the proper venue for the discussion you seem to want to have.
I named mine Rhox. :)
My Hunters name is “Nuggiez”, and I named my devilsaur “Nugzilla”. My vote is to do the same, take the first part of your name and append “zilla” to the end. Results may vary. Good luck =P (now if we could just find a way to stop the thundering sound of their walking, we’d be getting somewhere)
I named my white Devilsaur “Powder”.
Hm…
Zaurus
Zaur
Zul’Zaur (ZulZaur, as I think ‘ isn’t and option)
ZulTan (ok, that was silly…)
I ended up calling mine Kitty for some reason. Seemed fitting.
Other than that something trollish is something with lots of Z’s… so Kraz, Zlik, Wozzik and the likes fits the bill.
People like Pepp bug me out, 1 talent point wont make a HUGE difference in dps… if you cant have fun while playing or raiding with the talents you want then you should reconsider about playing WoW.
@ 1: I totally stole Twinkle for my own, brand new PINK devilsaur. *snicker*
@ topic: fun names: Wiggles, Heffa(as in the heffalump from winnie the pooh, no clue as to why, but I like it for devilsaurs..), Feathers, Fluffy, Godzilla (might be a bit cliché, but its still win), Raptorsaurus, Commodore(especially for the black one..), Lt.Awesome (if . is useable in names, else just LtAwesome)
oh, and to the two morons discussing about talent points… lvl 80 is about to arrive and then you wont “gimp” yourself without go for the throat… http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=cxbrztxRVu0estceVb good enough for ya?
more names!
Dialga, as in the pokemon from Pearl(yes, I’m a geek like that >_<), Tethyr(forgot where I got it from, but it sounds kinda cool), Zashrash, Bure(means twist in japanese, sounds sorta sweet)
I named mine Thunderthigh cause he makes that loud boom boom sound as he walks =o
i love to have silly names for my pets. so when i got my albino dino, i immediately named him Pickles. :D
my silithid is Peepers, my new gorilladin is Puddles, my lynx is Pumpkin and well, my boar is Deliverance. :D
How about Gankosaurus? That’s what I named mine, and what I’ve been calling them for months. Ever since my first trip to Un’goro Crater.
I would’ve gone for GankosaurusRex, but I don’t think it quite fit in the space we’ve got.
i named mine nanotyrannus means (“tiny tyrant”) i think it fits her well :P
i named my devilsaur vindicator. i thought it was pretty cool so i hope yall like it. XD
nice names mayby Palkia from pokemon or Shiva from Hindu religion (destroyer of the world) or Ragnorok (dont think i spelled that right) for rthe norse religion of destruction
I usually don’t go for silly names, but I also named mine “Stompy”. After 5 minutes of having it stomp around, it just seemed to fit. Perhaps if they had a sound file attached to their idle animation (stick their tongue out and scream), I would have found a different name appropriate. Also:
Thunder
Earthquake
Spike
Stripe
[something to do with blue eyes, Sapphire?]
(even better if they translate into a pleasant-looking elf or troll word)
@Shanrei: Pokemon?! Me too! NERDS UNITE!
I love Yv’s suggestion of Rhox. That gets my vote! ;D
Another name you could use is Jaws. Kind of cliche, but it fits with their huge mouths and the fact that when they are swimming only one spike on their back is above the water. :) It looks like a shark fin, lol.
Glamdring, from The Hobbit. One of the swords was called Glamdring, The Foehammer.
I named my Devilsaur Charles. Was the first name tha came to mind on the PTR, and when it went live I’d grown to love it =D
I named my Devilsaur Charles. Was the first name that came to mind on the PTR, and when it went live I’d grown to love it =D
I named my Devilsaur to Chirano his name is from a series called Genshi shonen Ryu can’t remember if i spelled his name correct
I named my Tyrant Devilsaur “Tiny”, which makes me chuckle every time I hit Bestial Wrath after he gets his 3 grows in.
Wraithfang
Nightripper
MaximusRex
I just grabbed the White Devilsaur last night and I named her FiFi.
Guys, sorry about the Talent tree discussion. This is NOT the place and time. Really apologize.
for the names:
- Scaly
- Thingy
- Stomper
- Krakhan
- Razox
I name all my pets Rebecca or something in darnassian due to my hunter being a nelf. A huge dino like that named Rebecca makes an impression ;)
Imwithstupid
Mine is named Quincy
I’m 58, but will be getting one real soon. Already have the name: Trogdor, for any Homestar Runner fans. :-) hehe
Hey gang, I might have showed up late to the party, but I’ve wanted to tame a Devilsaur ever since the first time I got eated by one on my level 48 night elf moonkin in Un’Goro crater. :D
Two years later, I finally ended up with a level 70 orc hunter and the ability to tame the bastards! The day the patch came out, I spent an hour spelunking through the wilds of Un’goro tracking down the white/purple one, since I have a “white” theme for all my characters going into Northrend (white hair, white pets, white mounts, etc.)
Funnily enough, I didn’t give any thought to what to name him beforehand. But as soon as I finally found my albino and tamed him, I cobbled together what I thought was a temporary, throwaway name:
DrRawrPhD
Yes, that is a reference to BRK’s experimental DrMooPhD he made for Sharvan (God bless her family). I was in their guild for a period of time on Alliance side and felt that it would be a nice homage to them until I settled on a real name.
Go figure, Dr. Rawr has really grown on everyone in the guild. He’s now his very own honorary guild member and everybody loves to hug and get their pictures taken with the Doctoral Instructor of Death. :)
My first toon was a Hunter, have had many pets over the yrs. here are a few suggestions – pet/name
I tend to pick my names for my pets to be short catchy, go with either the type of pet tamed or the hunter’s name, for example this first suggestion goes with my Tauren hunter named “Joyride”
1) Carrion Bird – “Milehigh”
2) Tyranasaurus – “Ripcity”
3) Snake – “Endgame”
4) Rhino – “GravyTrain”
5) Boar – “HogWild”
6) Corehound – “DoubleHeader”
Some i pick just for laughs…
7) Ravager – “WeDgIe”
8) Tiger – “TrOuBlE”
9) Wolf – “FleaBag”
10) Worm – “FishBait”
Just a few of the many i have come up with over the yrs…n-joy…….JJ
