Final Names:
Torgar: Netherfrost
Nelmug: Amethyst
Ethgri: Maelstrom

Apparently there’s just something about chimaeras and dwarves. Or maybe it’s Nuramoc in particular — maybe having a huge flapping purple monstrosity by your side is just the bee’s knees for a dwarf. (I guess I shouldn’t really make fun — I mean, Kaet likes crabs.)

At any rate, we’ve got three hunters today that need help finding the perfect name for their purple monstrosity — two handsome dwarven fellows and a very stylish blood elf. The dwarves are up first.

I tamed this beauty on Beta, having gotten quite lucky in finding him at the first time of asking. Live server was a whole different matter and it’s taken me constant circuits of Netherstorm before I finally got lucky today.

For some reason everyone is running around with Core Hounds on my server, which I find a little odd as we are a PvP server and as many of you know, the classes we struggle with are Melee, not Casters.

Anyway, this pet will be my PvP pet, but I am really stuck as to what to name him. (It’s definately a ‘him’ — I checked!) [How?! No, no, I don't really want to know. - ed.]

My pet since level 25 has been the Black Skinned Lion (Humar) who I named Nightfang. My grinding tank is the white Gorilla who is named Avalanche so I like my pets’ names to reflect their appearance and purpose/demeanor somewhat. Night and fang for obvious reasons, and Avalanche because he’s white and hits you like a truck and nothing stands in his way.

What possible names could we have that represent this purple 2 headed monster?? (And avoid the obvious jokes please!!) [Yes, please do! - ed.]

Many thanks to all my fellow hunters in advance!

The second dwarf to write in with a request for Nuramoc is Nelmug of Steamwheelde Cartel-EU. Nelmug writes:

The chimera in question is Nuramok from Netherstorm – it took 3 days of hunting for her, and suffering fierce competition a few times before I could claim her as mine.

Nelmug is your average dwarf in many ways, he likes ale and explosives – especially when combined. But instead of just going out and shooting stuff like most of his fellow dwarf hunters he’s usually experimenting with one of his contraptions in an unending quest to modernize the way of the hunt. Despite his good intentions, he hasn’t shown any real success thus far.

The “Big Picture” stuff tends to elude him, he doesn’t really feel concerned about the Burning Legion, the Lich King or such matters. He ‘d rather avoid such dangerous affiliations if at all possible. But the family funds are running low, and as the eldest sun he has started exploring the world out there looking for an opportunity to sell some of his “inventions” and, perhaps, a little fame and glory.

I play on an RP-realm so I’d prefer a mythical or lore-based name.

Finally there’s that stylish blood elf I mention, complete with sombrero. Ethgri of the Runetotem realm writes:

I just recently nabbed this beauty waiting outside Tempest Keep and was wondering if the hunter community could help me out with names.

I quite enjoy naming pets after Warcraft and Starcraft lore, such as Mutalisk, but anything’s open. Yes, I have had suggested: PurplePeopleEater, PrplPeplEter, PrplGnomeEter, etc. — and I do enjoy those kind of ideas as well. Anything along these lines and many more is greatly appreciated and nothing could or would be ignored!

Ethgri seems pretty easy going for a blood elf!

Okay, so we need one mythical or lore-based name for Nelmug (on a RP realm, remember), and we’ve got two hunters who are wide open to names. So whaddya think?
