It's great being a Hunter

Today I played my Hunter, Jaeger. "Jäger" is simply German for "hunter" (which shows you how inventive I was the day I made him) and "Jaeger" is just the way you spell it if you don't want to use umlauts. He's a skinner/leatherworker too, and although it amuses me now to see how the game stamps his leather goods "Made by Jaeger", that wasn't my intention at the time.

A while back I saw a player in Ironforge with a beautiful red windserpent pet, and asked her where she got it. "The Barrens" came the reply, "he's got slightly better specs than the others." Today Jaeger was going through the Barrens and noticed one Thawte Pawne, a named mob who was a red wind serpent. A little while later and Pawne was mine, now renamed Quetzalcoatl.
