Introduction - Istanvyl

Yay for impulse pets! Oh, and ding, too. :)

Istanvyl is my draenei hunter, just turned 19th level. I was running her through wailing caverns with my hubby's main (55th dwarf pally) to get the Armor of the Fang set. I went in knowing she was about to advance, and planning to tame a deviant dreadfang (a blue windserpent). I love their coloring and patterning. But working our way around, I suddenly decided on a deviate viper. If you haven't seen them, they are gorgeous. The Petopia picture doesn't do them justice. They shimmer and glide so smoothly. The poison spit ability is kinda okay, but not outstanding. Picking my Shimmer was completely an impulse decision. Very unusual for me, since I tend to plan out my taming at least a level or two in advance.

Istanvyl is my Warsong Gulch character. She took over for Arraneil when she accidently hit 20th (d'oh!). Both my hubby and I have 19th levs that we pump up for the BG. They're not complete twinks, but they are respectable. And we add on to them as we can. So, needless to say, I don't see Istanvyl leveling anytime soon. At least hopefully not. Originally, she was going to be my main hunter while Arraneil stayed in the BG (I love the NE shadowmeld ability for flag guarding), but -- oops -- that didn't work. :P
