Comments on: Seven Sources of Hunter Pet Name Inspiration

My hunter is named Urist, for all the many Urists (the dwarf equivalent of John or Bob) of Dwarf Fortress. DF is a cross between a city simulator, a roguelike ASCII-graphic dungeon game, and hell on earth. In DF, cats are dangerous. They breed like crazy, slowing the game, and due to convoluted reasons a cat overpopulation can spell death for a whole fortress. Naturally, Urist has a pet cat, the ghostsaber (Named Kheled – tolkein’s dwarfish for Glass), and a second noncombat pet cat.

I’ll probably have to get a non-cat when I hit 60 and learn beast mastery, but exactly what, and which obscure and nerdy thing I use for the name is undecided. A corehound named Boatmurdered would be fitting (Another DF thing), but hard to obtain at 60.

My pets used to have more serious names when I roleplayed but now their names are more of a joke.

I figured wolves would be big in Wrath (and boy was I right) and I wanted to name my wolf after my brother’s dog Loki, but went for his WoW counterpart Loken instead. Questhelper had the best glitch with him for months- it kept telling me to kill my own pet and take his tongue for one of the HoL quests.

Quick-tame tanking pets have been Uncle the gorilla and Iliké the turtle.

I won’t get into all my hunters, because I have a lot, but my 2 favorites have some interesting pets. Kelesaria is on the normal server Gilneas (randomized name btw), and her best friend in the world is a frostsaber pride watcher called Sabre, named after something as beautiful but potentially deadly as he is. The old fasioned spelling was to make it more unique. She also has the ghost hydra Spirit, Verdan,a jade owl from the green dragonshrine , an ironhide devilsaur Tyran, mostly because I love their blue eyes, and the other love of her life which I camped for about 6 months off and on to find, Loque’nahak, renamed Loq.
I have a theme for my hunter on Feathermoon. I /love/ Mercedes Lackey’s fantasy series on Valdemar, so Tad and all his pets are named after gryphons in her books. Tadrith the hunter, with his wolf Keenath, bear Treyvan, dragonhawk Aubri, and newly tamed Shy-Rotam, now known as Skandranon, or just Skan. Tad is getting a spirit beast too, preferably Loque, which will be named Kelvren.
Stopping with that to avoid a Massive Wall o’ Text, but I do have, at last count, I think 3 other hunters, each with at least 3 pets.
And yes, I am just a little bit obsessed with hunters… >.>
