I’m waiting for the smaller but more world-ready bakar to come out. Taivan is a good boy, but I don’t think he’s ready to ferry me into the death and carnage I know quite well. He’d have fainted from fright or even turned around and swam out into the ice-cold waters of Northrend if I tried taking him on an alt to the Lich King expansion. He’d turn tail and go back through the giant portal if I try taking him to Hellfire Peninsula, or he’d cower long enough for a Fel Reaver to step on him.
So I’m going to refrain from combing through this expansion and leave Taivan to his relatively-peaceful, toothless, stress-free life. I’ll wait for the other bakar to be released and select them instead.
