Speaking of popular new pets, there’s the gorilla. And you can’t blame them for enjoying their new-found popularity — what pet doesn’t deserve a turn in the limelight?
Today we have three gorilla-owners looking for the perfect name for their new furry friend. First up is Adams, a pun-loving dwarven hunter. Adams writes:
I’d like some assistance in naming a Gorilla I happened accross. My hunter’s name is Adams. He has had a variety of pets.
I thought I was all clever posting a red devilsaur and a white devilsaur the day after the US presidential election, but unfortunately there’s no blue devilsaur to round out the visual pun. Blizzard, we need a blue devilsaur!
Anyway, let’s get to the pets. First up is Aranis, a night elf with the guild Stalwart Heroes of Dark Iron. Aranis writes:
Final Names:
Cherixion: Astura
Hemingway: Kilimanjaro
Now here’s a pet that would make a good bouquet! And yet somehow moths, while elegant and beautiful, aren’t nearly as soft as you might imagine … at least not when they are gnawing on your face!
Anyway, we have two new moth-owners who are looking for names today. First up is Cherixion from Boulderfist, with a simple (but enthusiastic) request:
I need a new name for my pet Moth! I saw it on the PTR and KNEW that it had to be mine! It is a very beautiful pet, and I would like you guys to name it for me! Any names that refer to it as fuzzy, cute, buglike, or pretty.
Final Names:
Zinagaro: Neretzek
Luminial: Sharpjaw
Knyghtlander: Dizz
Nessima: Nefertiti
I was going to call today’s post “A Bouquet of Silithids”, being that we have four lovely creatures in four different vivid and beautiful colors. But silithids are perhaps a little bit too deadly to be going around calling ‘em delicate flowers.
Final Names:
Belysior: Arktos
I love the variety of pets that are coming in with Name That Pet requests these days. Sure, some people have always had the less-popular pets, but so often it was lion-lion-raptor-lion. (Not that there’s anything wrong with lions and raptors, of course.)
But look what we’ve got today: not one but two blood elf hunters who have chosen to hunt with a white bear from Dun Morogh! And both of these hunters have stories to tell about how they chose their new companions.
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.
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.
Final Name: Toruk
Sometime it’s the simplest requests that are the most fun. Forbeef, a Tauren hunter from Scarlet Crusade, sent me this request:
Since I’m a Tauren I’m big and gentle but not afraid to fight. So I decide to find a pet that was mean.
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.
Final Name: Valwyn
In honor of Patch 3.0, today’s Name That Pet request features the prettiest of the new pets: a shimmering, royal blue moth!
With the new patch, I’ve learned that - finally - I can tame the one pet I’ve wanted since I first saw their majestic beauty in Bloodmyst Isle … the shimmering blue moth.
