When you summon a warlock minion, you do not assign a name to it. After abandoning the minion, it uses a random name generator to select a name, but this can result in getting the same pet name as someone else. Luckily, there are a few ways to change the name of your minion. Here are a few tips for changing the name of your warlock minion.

Summon Succubus
In order to summon the demonic pet Succubus, warlocks must reach level 20 on their character. This demon has the ability to deal melee physical damage and shadow damage. It can cast Lesser Invisibility and Seduction crowd-control spells. However, it has no healing potential. If you have a lot of level 20 gear, Succubus can be useful if you want to seduce your opponents.
In addition to the ability to summon the succubus, warlocks also get a new feature in patch 9.2: the Incubus model. While initially thought to be a new Glyph, it turns out there are three different ways to summon this male version of the pet. One of these methods is to use the Glyph of the Tormentor to make the pet spawn randomly. There’s no way to tell if the pet will be spawned randomly, so it’s best to keep your eye out for the pattern. Besides, it won’t be too difficult to find and will probably be on the auction house soon after the release.
When summoning the Succubus, warlocks should focus on seducing their enemies. Avoid using Lash of Pain as it deals too much damage. Its AoE effects won’t make it very useful. If you want to seduce enemies, make sure to avoid using Lash of Pain. This spell is useless in most scenarios. It is also not worth the damage.
Voidwalker
A warlock can rename their pet if they want to change the name of their demon to something more appropriate. A Voidwalker is one of these pets. Warlocks are known for channeling dark magic and curseing everything in their path, but in patch 4.0.1 they had new minions that appeared on the map. Blizzard didn’t program these new demons, so they changed the names of warlocks’ trusted minions. This change was not intended to make them more distinctive, but warlocks did receive a lot of feedback. A recent update from Bashiok and Bornakk confirmed that the warlocks’ original pets would return during the next maintenance period.
The good news is that there’s a simple way to do this. If you’re a warlock, the “Rename” option will appear in the right-click pop-up menu of your Warlock pet. You will need to wait for a cooldown to complete the process, though, so don’t forget to wait for the cooldown before swapping pets! Otherwise, you’ll end up losing the renamed warlock pet.
Succubus is a better choice for solo play, as it deals high DPS while providing a high-damage tanking effect. If you’re looking for a tanky pet, consider the Succubus, which is more suitable for World PvP and solo play. Its huge mana pool and on-command spell interrupt can be abusive, and it’s a nasty surprise when you’re battling enemies in World PvP.
Incubus
During the summoning process, warlocks do not get assigned their pet names until they are already summoned. During this time, they use random name generation. This means that, for instance, someone could get the same pet name if they abandoned their minion and then summoned it again. This can cause problems and make it difficult to choose which pet to summon. Luckily, there is a way to change the name of your warlock pet without having to resubmit your character’s name.
Incubus is the male version of Succubus. It’s a great companion for combat and will be available for Warlocks as a glyph. However, there are a few ways to change its name. Here are a few suggestions:
In the World of Warcraft press release, it is mentioned that the incubus is the first gendered demon to be renamed, and that Blizzard plans to add male options in the future. The demons that warlocks are able to control are mainly male, but warlocks can enslave any demon. For this reason, they’ve been given a male name.
