Still on Cloud Nine

I can hardly believe it, but it's already been nearly a week since I gained access to the Molten Front and tamed Deth'tilac. I'm still just in awe of how beautiful he is. I sit there and stare at him, not daring to believe he's really there. I'm being completely honest when I say that this is my favourite tamable model in the entire game. It's really just...stunning. I have no words to properly express how much I adore it.

I never could have guessed that another pet aside from Skorn could reach this plateau of importance to me. Don't worry, Skorn is still my number one, and always will be, but Sabbath has completely won me over.

It's unusual for me to become so enamored with a rare. The pets that I have the closest bonds with tend to be regular common mobs that spoke to me with overflowing personality and history. I think I've just finally found my rare.

I've been caught in Deth'tilac's web since the start. Everything about this spider has drawn me in, called out to me. I've had many pets who felt destined to be with me, but this might be the first time that feeling has been so absolute.

Apologies for getting a little rambly in this next paragraph, but I feel compelled to express something. As I said in my earlier entry, I've never been one to put any sort of significance on such things as 'server first' tames of rares. I still don't really, not as a form of bragging rights in any case. It has just never mattered to me one way or another. However, I have to admit that my own Deth'tilac tame feels...meant to be. It's not about going around saying 'I got him first, haha!', there are already plenty of other tamed Deth'tilacs on my realm and I'm thrilled to know he's being tamed. For me, the personal significance is the thought that he was there waiting for me. Sabbath was the Deth'tilac. Not a Deth'tilac. We always call rare mobs respawns since that's what we tend to wait for, what we hope to find. The Deth'tilac I came across, though, was not a respawn. He was the one who existed from the start. Every other Deth'tilac will be a respawn, but not Sabbath. He was the original.

Gah, I realize that all sounds pretty crazy and probably a little snobby, but I don't mean it that way. I have a hard time putting words to how it all feels to me. It's just a very personal experience and makes this incredible tame mean all the more to me.

All I can say is that I love this spider. <3
