Secrets of Ulduar

Last night was a fantastic evening in the company of Petopians. Shaon had her eyes set on one of the beautiful Swarming Guardian cats, an ebon panther with glowing red eyes. The only place to obtain one was within Ulduar, during the Auriaya fight.

There was no question of which pet I would be bringing along to the adventure. Hegg, my newly acquired Skoll, was naturally the perfect match. I couldn't imagine not having him with me inside the grand Titan architecture of his homeland. He belonged in there.

The taming of Shaon's cat was a success, and afterwards we decided to keep going as far as we could with our small group of 5-6 people. We reached up to General Vezax where we unfortunately had to throw in the towel, but it was a wonderful night and absolutely so much fun.

I was able to spend some time with Hegg and get to know him a little better, and I can definitely say that the Ulduar run has rekindled my fondness for this wolf. I suspect that with Cataclysm's arrival and the decline in popularity of the Northrend saber worgs and WotLK spirit beasts I'm able to look objectively at him once more. I admit that seeing both Skoll and that worg model everywhere in the past caused them to grow a bit stale and overused in my mind, but I can't deny I always loved the appearance of Skoll. I just had troubles bonding with the model and overall spirit beast persona.

I do think I'll be keeping the name Hegg for him, as I also have Amon Amarth to thank for my renewed interest.

Here are some screenshots cataloging some of our journey through Ulduar.
