Representing the Alliance, Merrymaker Melody is a tall draenei with a propensity for black lipstick, a musical superiority complex, and a tendency to fall over her own hooves.
She started off with the red and green moth model, and because of her plush red fuzz, I named her Tori, for Tori Amos. Kind of a dull name, and I'd like to stick to songs and one-word band names, but Tori is a sweetheart nonetheless.
I love moths, but this is far from my favorite model. I prefer the white, grey, and even blue moths to this- but let's face it. Moths are amazing! Mel and Tori made a fantastic team.
When Melody dinged level 9, I took her toward where the ravagers on Azuremyst Isle were. I figured she'd ding close to there, and I've never EVER tamed a ravager before on any character. The red and yellow ravagers seemed just as good as any. Until.. I saw him.
Just then, a shaman from another server invited me to a group. I accepted just as she killed a ravager, unlocked the cage, and urged me to "Tame him, tame him!" I almost stumbled over myself to abandon my starter pet (bye Tori, go on with your bad self!) and tame.
The best part? When I checked my Pandora station, the song "Electronaut" by VNV Nation was playing. What a perfect name for a ravager that fell out of the sky and stayed locked in a cage til released by the kindness of a stranger into a new life. Ha!
They have become fast friends! I love how ravagers look when they Dash. I love the little hisses, shrieks, and almost electric sounding emissions coming from these little aliens. I'm rather tickled that the name fits so well.
Stay tuned for Part 2!
