Good ol' USA, where everyone else wants to be

Now Plays World of Warcraft on Whisperwind

Think Africa and Mideast Persia area.

SO im thinking the following possible Pets
Lion
Snake (Cobra?)
Lama (does no damage but provides extra storage)
Camel (Does Spitting ranged attacks that causes blindess for 1-5 seconds)
Jackel
Scorpion

I think the lion is a definite possibliltiy. Also, the elephant is probably one of the the most prevalent species native to Africa. But I'm not sure it translates well to the ranger/pet relationship. Maybe hippopotamus. :P

^ top the crab with a sword fish you can store in your bage and take it our as a weapon...now that would be better

But really the monkey would be great

Rangers are lucky... they get a hero slave AND a pet.

And to use a pet decently you have to use half your skillbar!
Hmm... hero slaves with pets! that's 4 characters for 1!

We don't know it it's charmable, though.

Hey, just to let you know, coming from Africa and all, those aren't exactly the "big 5". the big five are actually: The Lion, Leopard, Rhino, Elephant and Buffalo. Just to let you know, im not flaming you or anything. Pretty sure they will have the Lion as a tamable pet, but im not really sure about the elephant. I mean, they are pretty huge, might make nice tanks tho...

a platypus would definitly make me drop my beloved dune lizard unfortunatly, nightfall is all about africa, not australia

as for nightfall, crocodiles, lions and hyenas may very well be there..
i bet we'll see an ostrich, too, i don't think they'll resist to put a bird in the game again, after the moa bird and the crane

According to Stephen Colbert, the amount of elephants have tripled. Therefore, I feel that we will get Elephants as pets. Personally, I will name mine after him.

I just love the shift away from "fictionally" animals like the dune lizard, stalker, and Moa.
Now in Nightfall people are hoping for there "RL" equivalents. Crocs, hyianas, and osterichs.

Odd...

I think we'll get dingos since a lot of people in some african tribes train them to be like hunting dogs. And notice that the build for an R/P they had was 'Pack Hunter'. Lions, hyenas, wolves, and dingos are a few animals that hunt in packs. Elephants, monkeys, and crocidiles dont hunt in packs, so they might not be pets.

Nah, you're getting confused with Australian Aborigines. Although the Moa was actually a real, if now extinct, bird in New Zealand...

i love i love the idea of training a new rhino or giraffe or something (i usually stay away from pets that have the same shape as the stalker since they all have the same shape except with the different skin)... but i hate the idea of having to train it for a day just to get it to dire.

And the Moas of GW are based on real birds too (the extinct "terror birds" of the Americas)...

those terror birds on TV really did remind me of those moa birds on GW....

I'm hoping the elite pet of factions will be a "ksdjaosidjkoaijdoijasoi-osaur" because then it'd be easier to spot >=(

I think we will see scorpions, although tey will be too much like devourers!

A sphinx would probably look too much like griffons!

I doubt it would be a camel, as they really don't attack people, well other than spit in their faces! And no not even for storage!

It will more likely be wild dogs, jakals etc..and scarabs or maybe birds like the ibis, cats were a big thing in egypt. Could be an aardvark! or porcupine or zebra or pangolin or baboon or macaques

You'll have to wait 'til Guild Wars Campaign 7 (working title codename "Montezuma's Revenge"), which uses a South American theme.

Seriously now, I expect to see:
* Wild cats (Lion / Leopard / Black Panther / Cheetah / ...)
* Wild dogs (Hyena / Jackal / Desert Fox / ...)
* Buffalos / deer (Gnu / Antelope / Oryx / ...)
* Monkey (Gorilla / Baboon / ...)
* ...

The following I'd like to see, but don't expect to:
* Giant Snake
* Giant Scorpion (Joe FTW!)
* Crocodile
* Hippopotamus
* Rhinoceros
* Vulture
* ...

I'm not sure if crocodiles and elephants are possible as pets due to their sizes. Elephants would be too big (bigger than even the bear) and while crocodiles are not as huge, they are quite lengthy (at least twice the length of the dune lizard?). Of course this assumes that Anet really follows the scales Then again, we have gigantic scorpions in Prophecies XD

Ok, if there is no Monkey (any type), I'm going to be seriously disappointed.

I'm using Tear Windscreen Wiper's Off on Ford Mondeo!!!
I'm using Scratch Monkey Balls

This might sound a tad bit daft, but i'd like a mountain goat who's horns grow with each level.

Maybe there'll be more bird like pets that can fly a bit. Like a vulture..
I want a mountain goat though..

i could go for a goat^^

Id like a swarm of scarabs as a pet, but somehow i doubt that will happen.

any monkey will make me happy

However, to all yalls dismay- Im going to go out on a limb and not expect any kind of 'grazing animal' to join our ranks. that would be like if Prophecies had a 'pack mule' or 'cow' type pet.

my speculation on pets NOT charmable-
antellope/gazel/llama/etc -> too non-rangery (its true!)
giraffe/hippo/elephant/rhino -> too big
tigers (already done)

speculation on pets that ARE charmable-
monkey/ape/LEMUR lol
lion/cheetah
hyena/jackyl
crocodiles/snakes
giant insect
