My hunter's name is Greed. His pet's are Need, Envy and Handbag (a
Crokolisk)

My regualar name is obviously Conspiracy, but I started a Shaman once
named Cowspiracy. Still, my favourite guild name at the moment is this
Alliance guild on Jubei'Thos named "A Walk In The Parkinson" they had
their previous guild disbanded, "Get Down Syndrome"
