Pandaria: The First Bond

The Mists of Pandaria beta has been in full swing for a while now, and I've had a chance to explore and try out some of the newly tameable beasts that are coming out.

While I have a decent sized wishlist of potential pets, there's one so far that's a guaranteed tame.

This is the new tiger model, and the black colouration grabbed me from the start. I honestly wasn't sure if I was going to click with it since the model has a few details that irked me, but somehow they all washed away as soon as I had a chance to tame one and see it in person.

So, I'd like you to meet Khan. He's the first Pandarian beast I've formed a bond with.

Now, the one drawback of this is that...Khan is a reserved name, meaning I can't actually use it. :( I was crushed to find this out after spending days pondering over the perfect name for my new feline, only to realize it was an impossibility.

At the moment I'm using a loophole and trying an accented character to get around it: Khân or Khán perhaps. It's not perfect, and I'm still not sure if I'll be able to live with it, but we'll see. I still have plenty of time to get used to it or possibly think of another compromise.

In any case, the name is stuck with him regardless, I just can't see him as anything else now, so one way or another I'll make it work.
