Around Azeroth: My little talbuk
When I was younger, I never understood the whole pre-teen girl obsession with owning horses. Huge, expensive beasts with great flaring nostrils who can crush you underfoot with one misstep? Yeah, pass. But I would probably have tolerated a beautiful white talbuk like this one, owned by Shevek of <Felony> on Sisters of Elune. At least until someone developed the genetically engineered flying cougar that I really wanted.
Do you have any unusual, beautiful or interesting World of Warcraft images that are just collecting dust in your screenshots folder? We'd love to see them on Around Azeroth! Sharing your screenshot is as simple as e-mailing aroundazeroth@wow.com with a copy of your shot and a brief explanation of the scene. You could be featured here next!
Remember to include your player name, server and/or guild if you want it mentioned. Please include the word "Azeroth" in your post so it does not get swept into the spam bin. We strongly prefer full screen shots without the UI showing -- use alt-Z to remove it. Please, no more battleground scoreboards, Val'kyr on mounts, or pictures of the Ninja Turtles in Dalaran. Older screenshots can be found here.

I agree. When the come out with Real Frostsaber mounts or Archeus Deathchargers il go for it, but ponies.... meh!

Why do you prefer dead pony to alive pony?
Neuropox Feb 4th 2010 4:45AM
BEcause i dont have to feed it. And it is undead. Plus you can just summon it in traffic and ride past all the other suckers in their cars. No storage space=win!

Wait, so you'd prefer something that could also gore you, instead of just potentially trampling?
Heck, the way their horns are pointed, if you stop too fast you'll get gored just by accident... >.>

I love riding my Talbuk, but unfortunately every time he moves his head I get impaled by the giant horns.

When my niece visits she spends hours on my account just summoning mounts and galloping around. "Oooh, this pony flies," and "Oh no, this one looks like a goat!" and "That bad man wants my horsie! Stop hitting me bad man!"

Love my talbuks. I think they are the most elegant ground mounts in the game. They are still somewhat rare as not too many people want to do the grinding for rep. Plus, almost every class looks reasonably decent on them.

And then it turned around and started nomming her hair.

These comments you write are always so damn funny. WHY THE HELL ARE YOU SO FUNNY ELIZABETH WACHOWSKI?! It's like you channel all the old writers from when The Simpsons was great. Or something, I don't know. Write some books or something so I can throw money at you.

Just had to add to the talbuk love. Got an armored white one for my arcane mage, and believe me, nothing suits the subtle nobility of arcane magic like a talbuk. *grin*
