As some of you may (or may not) know, I went through most of WotLK with a wasp named Hypnotik. He was a Sapphire Hive Wasp, and I really loved him...his enormous size was awesome, and I adored the colours. Somehow the bond faded however, and though I tried a few new forms, Hypnotik just didn't seem the same anymore.
I snagged Rex Ashil on the release of 4.0.6, hoping to have another wasp connection, but he didn't last long. I had struggled to find a name for him, and even my final decision never quite sat right. I eventually let him go and figured that perhaps I just wasn't meant to have a wasp anymore.
Well, I blame my friend Rob, but recently I started thinking about them some more and had the urge to try one again. Though at first I was going to go with one of the Florawing Needlers (mini Hypnotik!), I was drawn to Rex Ashil instead. Sure enough he was spawned when I headed into Silithus, and upon taming I felt that spark. He just needed the right name this time.
I could not get the image of a blade out of my head when I looked at him. He had such sharp angles and a vicious, quick attack. I knew he needed something to fit that. Then when I looked at the sand dunes and Qiraji settlements around me, the Arabian scimitar sword came to mind and I knew it was perfect. Gads, what is it with me and S names for my pets though! xD
Anyways, I'm very happy with this new wasp incarnation. Scimitar seems like a keeper for sure!
