Need a named Beast like Malorne for a custom card

Hello guys, I'm designing an expansion and I needed your help of sorts. I need a named untamable god/demigod beast for Hunter. It doesn't need to be in the game, I mean it can be a legend in some ancient books or something. It needs to be source of inspiration for hunters. Like how Druids revere Malorne (I really don't know much if they don't revere :) ).

Do you know any ? If it can be a bird-kind or a beauty symbol it will fit more for the theme :)

      Omg, I can really use that, it also fits the theme :P

  • Check out Ursol & Ursoc, Agamaggan and Goldrinn. Not a WoW expert or anything, just consulted Google.

      I know them, Thanks for answer but I can't use them, because they are related to Druids. :)

  • I google searched some deities from DnD Perhaps some names you could use revolving around your idea

    Melora – Unaligned Goddess of Wilderness, Nature and the Sea

    Ehlonna, goddess of forests, woodlands, flora & fauna, and fertility

    Obad-Hai, god of nature, freedom, hunting, and beasts

    Estanna, demigoddess of hearth and home

    Syreth, lesser goddess of guardians and protection.

    Valarian, demigod of forest, forest creatures, and good-aligned magical creatures

      Well, I can use them maybe but I need some real legend or revered creature in Warcraft lore. I'm using them for inspiration source for my bards. Used Malorne for druid class, Elune for Priest class. I need a beast for hunter. I can use other types for other classes but beast for hunter seems essential. :)

      • Not sure if it’d fit too well for the theme you’re going for, but you could go with one of the loa for it. They’re powerful beings that take the form of beasts a lot of the time from what I know. I believe there’s a good few that weren’t used in Rastakhan Rumble

  • When in doubt pray to Huffer

  • Well, after some googling, there is Akil'zon, eagle loa of the Amani trolls (https://wow.gamepedia.com/Ban%27thalos), but I think he's not that interesting. There's also Arikara, who, while not exactly a demigod, is a spirit of vengeance that manifests as a wind serpent (https://wow.gamepedia.com/Arikara) and is connected with Tauren, who are for me the archetypal hunters. 

  • I suggest hitting up https://wow.gamepedia.com/Wowpedia for finding names.  Once upon a time, I used to name all my in-game pets within WoW and this was always my resource for finding some gems.  Not to mention you can also get lost in some of the lore (if you're into that sort of thing).

  • This is not a legend in ancient books, neither a god/demigod from the Warcraft lore, but a very cool ancient animal I used to be fascinated with when I was a kid: the Archaeopteryx.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaeopteryx

    It has a cool name and a very cool real life background from a scientific point of view. Maybe you can use it for your custom card, it seems kinda "inspirational" to me and I believe it fits the Hunter theme. ;)

  • Thanks for suggestions guys. I've used Pepe which sinti suggested. I have completed 52 cards and 83 more to go. I will share my expansion  when it is completed. I hope you'll like it. :)

  • Hi, I would suggest Ohna'ahra (https://wow.gamepedia.com/Ohn%27ahra).

    The eagle spirit that played a role with one of Hunter's legendary weapons in WoW:Legion.

    Good luck with the expansion.
