I've decided to give up one of my pets to fill a slot for a glade kerubi. I'm thinking of either COMPLETELY morphing one (name change and all), or abandon one to start over.

There are only 2 choices: Ixrian (graveyard sheeta), and Cylaria (lilac escalade).

Ixrian won't have his name changed, but Cylaria would either be abandoned or I would change her name and gender. I still have about a week of my GA medal left. I'm not crazy about giving up either, but which one is the lesser of two evils? : I'm not getting more than 14 slots because I can't afford anymore.

I'd change Ixrian, honestly. The personality offset and tidbits you put on Cylaria are more appealing to me :)

Change Ixrian - the name is awesome, and you may regret giving him up.

I'd change Cylaria. Definitely. Most likely I'd give her a name change, personally. Just because I'm not really fond of it. Or pound her and create a Pet with a better name.

Ixrian sounds so much better.

give up ixrian. i love her name, but i like your escalade better.

I'd have to say the escalade myself :/ Ixrian sounds like a sheeta name, while I can't see it with a kerubi too well.
Besides if you ever pine for a lilac escalade again I'm sure it'd be much cheaper to regain than a graveyard sheeta ):

Cylaria, for sure. I'd just pound her and create a new pet, too.

That's a hard decision... I'd say paint Cylaria, because I love Ixiran :3
