Creature Handler Archive
Thread: Pets of honor List them here
I justtrained up for Novice Creature Handler today, because I'm going to take that title into the NGE proudly, for a profession that is as much a part of the galaxy as the jedi.
While I probably won't have time to tame any pets before the change, I have two pets that my wife, a Master Creature Handler, has given me. They have been steadfast companions, and have on more than one occasion saved this Master Commando's life, even if they are considered low level.
Hissy, a CL8 fanned rawl from Naboo
Baby, a CL10 dwarf bantha
Two great companions, lifelong in thier dedication.

Mirrmurr, Oryza and Triznyak, GSPs.
Pillow, Ticklewhiskers and Nasty, the bedroom "furniture" cats
Negotiator - rancor
and so on...
I am tearing up as I write these words, and mention these beloved friends:
Butch, one of my first tames, a greater sludge panther when greater sludge panthers were incredible tanks. Tamed my very first night as a CH, July 25th, 2003. Instantly became the hero of our little grind group on Corelliathat eventually became a PA.
Huey, my dewback. Tamed a week later, when I finally had another slot open. I tamed him between the Lars homestead and Wayfar, with my friend Shai'Do. We had just made the long journey on foot from Anchorhead, and I took him by the homestead. I didn't tell him we would see it, but he immediately recognized it and was just delighted beyond words to see it. It was a great day in early SWG.
The night of the mount publish, I put a saddle on Huey and rode him through the streets of Doaba Guerfel. It was one of the most wonderful nights I've ever had in SWG, right up there, in fact, a smidge ahead, of Tazz crafting his first lightsaber and completing the padawan trials.
Nikita, my gurreck. Tamed in the midst of the "Ring of Death" around Smugglers' Outpost on Endor in late August 2003. Nearly lost him to a rampaging arachne. One of my most satisfying tames.
Osris the gaping spider hunter and Akheheton the greater sludge pantherwho my friend Anuk gave to me for safekeeping when she gave up CH in mid August 2003 to pursue her medical career. and she became one of the best crafting docs on Ahazi.
Candyass, a gift from my friend Tenshi when she went on a celebratory just made MCH baby hunting spree on Dathomir. I once swore I'd never have a rancor, but I couldn't turn down this gift. Besides, he was always great for impressing the poodoo out of n00bies.
Swampie, my swamp stalker, tamed on Christmas Day last year. Tazz was on Corellia looking for a great plains stalker, and a guildie was attacked by a swamp stalker about 100m from my house on Naboo, east of Keren. I logged my doc/cm alt, Jeffn in to rezz him, and the other guildies killed the stalker. Then the baby appeared. Tazz dropped what he was doing and returned to Naboo, and tamed on the first attempt.
Of course there are others, Leezard the gorge vesp, who was a huge hit at one of Riis' Ahazi events. Hobbes the little hilltop kima with the 8k HAM and the fearsome attack meow, who never failed to evoke /gasps from observers. Rover my kusak stalker, whoused to be a delightful bodyguard inKor Vella and Moenia, dealing with swoops, meatlumps,mummer thugs, and the otherlowlife NPCs who would aggro onyou if you killed enough of them. Sodium my lowland salt mynock. Stompy the fambaa. Concord the savage humbaba. Bama the crimson razor cat. Aemon the huurton howler. Cecil the bull ronto. Bonzo the male mammien. Slytherin the giant crystal snake.
And Sparky, my beloved little yard trash grinding wrix, who still resides over on Zanti's datapad.
I've got screenshots of all of them, but it wont be the same, not being able to /pet them and have them do their tricks and see them pounce on their prey, with all those delightful animations.

My pets of honor...
Alia - My 65 White Gurrcat, elegant, white and regal. SHe watched over Taliesen in many times of danger and protected him more times than I can count.
Forest - Taliesen's first Bantha, sweet and lumbering, he has been with Tal since the beginning and has been 'refitted' to a level Tal will not be able to call him at, thanks to the CU. Forest will be sorely missed.
Spike - Taliesen has always had Spike, always will. His sweet little bio-engineered jax that follows him like a puppy into cantinas, while he plays, while he dances. Spike will survive, thankfully but is honored, nevertheless.
Usul - My Dune Bantha who has protected Tal from Tuskens and Hutts.
Sparkles - Cherished Veractyl, scooped up as an egg off of Kashyykk and a dedicated mount, as well.
Pippin - a strange foundling of a pocket Bantha. Sweet and tiny and unrideable, but it never made him any less of a treasure.
Dante, Hades and Pluto - my three Kimas of doom. Adding that eerie hair-standing-on-end-feeling to Taliesen's mate, nightly, with their mournful, creepy yowls!
And noteably, destroyed by the CU. Jin'lores' Bearded Jax, Shelob. Fond memories of showing the loud mouth griefer up in Anchorhead with little Shelob under the table poisoning him and range shooting him. The oaf never knew what hit him.
When this goes live, I will miss them all.
