Check it out, I am unbelievably happy!

Around 10:30pm last night, I'm sitting in bed with my wife and we are talking, she always likes to see what I'm doing in game, so I tell her I'm sitting around waiting for a bear to show up. She pointed to the bears eating salmon in the river…God I love Grizzly Hills…and I'm like, no sweetheart a different bear, a special bear…so she called me gay and said that she hopes my special bear will show up lol!!
I pop in my headphones so I can hear and npcscan won't wake her up. I'm watching tv not really paying attention when all of a sudden…BWAH, BWAH BWAH BWAH! (npcscan music fyi)…so I poop my pants, look down and hit my target macro, lay down a frost trap and start the tame! It was so exciting!! I couldn't be happier, I have no clue what this guys respawn timer is though, I saw him first at 2:00pm, I went back the same day and waited 8-10 hours later and he never showed up, then I checked in and out throughout the day around the tops of the hours and never saw him or had npcscan go off while I was away, so I wish I could give a clearer picture to you other guys about his respawn rate, but I'm just baffled. Happy Hunting you guys!!
Edit: I'm also considering names…I like Ursa and just Arcturis, plus there's some bear god named Artaosis…but you know I need to be more clever than that, so whaddya got? Niika, any bears that eat children like Cadejo?

OMG OMG OMGOMGOMG!!!! that is wonderful!!! hahaha i am so very happy for you! and if you name it Ursa or Arcturis I am going to smack you silly! And don't you dare go with Bearazulbub either!
Bears in lore tend to be more maternal in nature, and defensive, and highly protective. This is really really random, but in Native American culture, there is a bear that saves lost children. She is a mother, looking out for her lost cubs. Since she can't find hers, she adopts wayward Drachs… I mean children, and protects them with her life. You can name her Matoskah (White Bear), Hehewuti (Mother Spirit – wait, forget that name, it sounds wicked stupid), or even Mishimakwa (Great Bear, which is also very Longfellowish, from Hiawatha)
there is a lot of lore in Warcraft, very subtle and tastefully done. In Moonglade (another one of my favorite spots) is a spirit bear in one of the quest lines. It's kind of neat.
Also, finally, thought you might be interested in these links:

The bear is rumored to be a mockup of this bear in nature. The location, everything about the NPC mimics it's natural, and very endangered habitat. If so, the ideal name would be by its Indian name, Moksgmol.
I think the name Kermodei would also make a neat, unusual name.
More information than you ever wanted to know… lol

I went with Moksgm'ol…or Moksgmol because God forbid there be an apostrophe in a pets name…, anyway, the more research I did, there are actual spirit bears, one out of ten black bears are born white, not albino, white. And these are called spirit bears, or in the native american language..Moksgm'ol…

Grats on nabbing Arcturis. 
Drach, let me know if you need some help sorting out your map. Looks like you're wanting to use the in-game minimap, so we may want to clean up that frame at the bottom – – or get Chinchilla set up.
Otherwise… damn sexy UI if I don't say so myself.

Thanks Gar, yea I had some questions about cleaning it up. I didn't really like Chinchilla, I couldn't get the hang of looking at it so I went back to the in-game one, but am unsure about removing the frame and moving some stuff around to clean up that corner…that corner is like the bedroom you close the door to when company's coming over…lol I just didn't have a door to close for the pic

Were you having trouble getting used to having your map at the bottom?
If you want to stick with the default map, then all we need to do is get rid of the KGPanel and tracking icon. You may want to reposition the coords as well.
Let me know how you'd like to configure things and I'll get you taken care of.

Mok was my ideal name as well. I like the theology behind it, it feels more true, if you understand what I mean.

Well, I couldn't get used to it at the bottom. I think alot of it was my screen being a different aspect ratio then what you designed it for. Most everything else I got situated, but I could just never get that right. It got kind of crowded in that corner so I just went back to the default map.
Here's the way it was looking with Chinchilla running, it never looked right to me, and I couldn't figure it out. Any thoughts or tips? I put one in battle and one out so you could see both.
