Bats in the Belfry

I've always been conflicted when it comes to bats in World of Warcraft. In real life they're one of my favourite animals, but the in-game models are somewhat...lacking. They suffer from a variety of anatomical oddities and low res textures, yet...I'm still drawn to them.

I've never really kept a bat with Vephriel before, so today marks the beginning of a trial run. I've gone and tamed one of the Vampiric Duskbats from Tirisfal Glades (how could I not choose one of them).

Meet Belmont. I'm hoping I might be pleasantly surprised by this whim tame. I am very fond of his colours, he has a nice purple hue and vivid blood-red wings.

Now, you might be wondering where the stable space came from. In truth, it all started earlier today when I was staring at my stables and agonizing over how many tenacity pets I had. Far too many, not to mention duplicate families!

Though I hated admitting it, I knew that recently I had been feeling detached from Asmodeus. There was a time I would have considered dropping Almagest in favour of him, but that suddenly reversed after the appearance of Dante. Dante has become the iconic black scorpion, so much so that I felt Asmodeus' personality slipping away from me. It was hard to come to terms with, but I knew that there just wasn't a spark there anymore. I couldn't help it, he was being overshadowed by Dante's character and my mind would not separate them. :(

It was a tough decision, but I knew it was time to let him go. I went to Uldum and released him right near his taming location. I'll miss you Asmodeus. <3
