WarcraftPets Forum

I'm absolutely HOWLING at everyone's entries for Doob's giveaway contest. So much fun! Even if you don't plan to enter, take the time to read through the entries. They'll make your day! I want all these fantasy pets under my tree this year!

I agree! These need to be sent to Blizz, begging for some kind of Christmas Miracle...

Regardless of who wins, I'd like to shout-out to a few of my favourites. WELL DONE! These are so clever!

Fullelven wrote:Ghost Of Winter's Veil
An Undead-type pet that hovers and has three sides to it to represent Past, Present, and Future. Past is grey and has one large cyclops like eye. Present is red and has two eyes, both open. Future has two eyes with a third eye in the center and is red in color. It's entire appearance is stone, so the colors are more overtones to it. It's three abilities are:

• Past: Curse the pet with visions of the past, sometimes causing it to miss. When it does it, it takes a 1/4 of its damage dealt in damage to itself.
• Present: Shoots a beam of frosty Christmas spirit that deals X amount of damage.
• Future: Places a swirling void beneath the target that will erupt in three turns doing X amount of damage to them and 1/2 that damage to the backrow pets.

Meistar wrote:Missile-Toe
Green, Mechanical type pet with Jeweled Red Blinking Lights in the shape of a common Mistletoe plant. Even though he is designed to look like a harmless Mistletoe plant, he still wears tiny black combat boots.

Sammylou_23 wrote:Bah-Humbug
This would be a tiny beetle with a top hat, monocle, scarf, and little smoking pipe.
Abilities:

• Chains of Woe - Ghostly chains shoot out, imprisoning the target and squeezing out gold coins every round for 3 rounds. (Damage over time).
• Coal Shooter - Pipe transforms into weapon and starts shooting coal at target. This would cause 2-3 strikes of damage.
• Top Hat of Doom - Bah-Humbug's top hat rises up and enlarges, seeking to engulf the target in total darkness, destroying Christmas spirit and joy. Target is frozen in terror for one round. 3 round cool down. (Top hat gets mean eyes and maniacal smile, floats to target and covers them while laughing in an evil way).

Icedsugar wrote:My pet will be called "Last-minute Shopping" and all it's abilities are based on real life experiences.
It will just be a crinkly, noisy plastic shopping bag with a "recycled" logo printed on it.
It's 3 abilities are:

• Soap-on-a-rope: Your opponent is so bummed-out about this lame gift that they sulk for 1 round, thereby dealing no damage
• Re-gifting: There is no time to get a cool ability of your own, just re-use your opponents last ability against them

Murph3tte wrote:Yule Kobold Candle *magic*
It would be a typical WoW style candle that floats.
Abilities

• "wax off" candle throws wax at opponent slowing attack speed
• "Advent call!" Calls 3 more candles to it's side. They all stand beside the other, bend over forwards and throw flames!

Hantan wrote:Jingle-horse

These are pretty funny! I hope Blizz checks them out! Also wish I was eligible!

Oooh! May have to attempt to enter this one Some brilliant ones in there from what I have seen above.

Some of these are awesome! Last minute shopping was very clever and I would LOVE a Bah-Humbug! I didn't want to read them before I entered so as to not influence my entry, but now I wish I'd been more clever with my idea.

I think they're all very clever. It would be hard to choose just a couple.

The thread for the pet is my favorite thread. Jeez talk about some creative people. Keep it up all and good luck to the winner.

I'm loving the entries and I'm really glad the winners will be chosen by random drawing instead of pet merit because they are all amazing! The thread will be locked at the end of the contest and set as a sticky for the rest of eternity as a reminder of how creative our members are!

If anyone remembers our contest back in 2009, a lot of those pets ended up in-game thanks to pet battles. It'd be nice to think WoW devs read through the submissions and picked some because of the entries.

Refresher on our favorites: http://www.warcraftpets.com/contests/suggest-a-pet/favorites/

I just did my entry Clarence Odbody AS2 page 22 lol !!! Its my first time doing one of these and I have been laughing myself silly and some are just a scream if not totally grand. I want to shout out to all who have put in an entry because I have greatly loved reading all of these I hope blizzard reviews the entries if not only for the pure enjoyment of it, but they just might learn a thing or two along the way as well. GREAT JOB FOLKS KEEP IT UP !!!

There are some very fun entries there. Unfortunately there are also the same ideas recurring time after time. I only read about three pages and saw half a dozen crop up several times. Worst still is when the recurring one is something that's already available in game.

I was tempted to do a Time lord entry, but I'm guessing that the Doctor Who xmas special isn't quite such a big deal outside the UK.

Oh. I just thought of another one. Which also no one outside the UK will get, but I might submit it anyway.

Submit it! We all know Christmas is outside of NA continent as well!

I've decided to submit as well... Now all that can be done is /fingers crossed...

Just wanted to take a minute to thank Doobjanka for holding this contest. It was so much fun to follow and participate. Reading all the posts was so entertaining and really put me in a holiday mood. Best of luck to everyone and thanks again to Doob for hosting such a successful event!
