Yet Another Whim Tame


 I admit that I tend to be susceptible to outside influences.

Lately I've been rereading the fantastic Song of Ice and Fire series, starting with A Game of Thrones. If you're familiar with the novels (or the recent TV adaptation), you'll know that direwolves are a fairly important motif.

Last night I had a strong urge to go to the Twilight Highlands and look for Karoma, a beast I've never actually seen in the wild myself. I never had interest in taming him, but lo and behold there he was at the first location I checked.

So, I went ahead and tamed him. Belmont was with me at the time, and being a 'bottom tier' pet, I was able to let him go on a vacation while I acquiesce to this whim.

I couldn't help but name him Ghost, as a nod to Jon Snow's wolf in the series. I realize the name is simplistic and a bit uncreative for a Spirit Beast, but it just works so well I think I might keep it like that.

I can't say whether or not Ghost is truly a permanent pet, but I'm certainly in the 'mood' to keep him right now, and I believe he'll be sticking around for a while at the least. It's not as though I need two blue Spirit Beast wolves, but...there you have it. x) Speaking of which, Skoll was out to say hello when I went to take some screenshots in the Storm Peaks.
