Oh my Gnkstacrizab. How I love thee. I was mid 50s when I fell in love with crab pets. Before that I had my black panther named Rainbowcloud. Then my pink scorpid, Bubblegum. Along came a pretty yellow boar, Sunshine, to steal my heart. Sunshine and I stayed together for a long time. Then, late-night on Petopia, I came across the most magnificient pet I had ever seen (Please don't tell Sunshine. She thinks her and I are just taking a break). The level 33ish rare spawn, Crusty, in Desolace(I believe).
Man, what a beautiful red crab. I went out, braved the rough waters. Plunged down into the ocean's depths. Then, with a magnificient splash (and 1 corpse run) I emerged from the murky tide with a brand-new friend! After inquiring with my sister (Which I have with naming all my pets :D) I named him GnkstaCrizab. Which so happens to fit my name perfectly. Gankymcdudle. Well, its pretty easy to tell who I'll be with forever now. I'll be raiding, 5-manning, and soloing with the lil guy. Losing out on dps? Sure. But on things we need the big guns I'll just bring my shaman. So, really, I don't care about hate whispers when I'm in groups telling me I'm dumb for having a crab pet. (Which everyone except other hunters seem to love him <3) I play what I like. And what I like, is my crabby lil buddy. Its safe to say that even though Rainbowcloud is running free, and someday Bubblegum and Sunshine may be out there, too. GnkstaCrizab will never leave me. :)
That's the story of one Orc's love for his pet. Hope you enjoyed.
