Had a hunter with a blue crab named Seafood in World of Warcraft for years.

He was somewhat famous on the server at the time. Eventually got rid of him because he had no benefits compared to other pets. No logical reason to keep him.

Huge regret. I grieved for that damn crab for months. Finally stopped playing that class all together.

As a fellow WoWer, I always opted for aesthetics, writ large, over optimization. I get that folks seek out competition, either vs environment or other players. But adhering to a personal aesthetic Code is another option.

See also, I suppose, conduct runs in many roguelikes.

I've retained the same nightsaber on my Night Elf rogue that I adopted in the beginning of the game. It feels wrong to let him go.
This made me chuckle with a dash of acknowledgement and compassion. Poor Seafood... Heh. :)
