Regarding Doobjanka's Contest

[Drrum]

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!

[Principa]

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

[Principa]

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

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.

Gnomish String of Lights
A floating string of festive Winter Veil lights. Idle animation: the lights blink on and off.

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

[Ammeg]

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

[Peanutty]

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.

[Adumbledore]

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

[Ravnhawk]

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.

[Doobjanka]

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.

[Shikon01]

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 !!!

[Nyxie]

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.
