Nightfall Pets

These images from gw.com sure looks like pets:

I want that rat!

camels for storage would be fun
Snograt
Dismissing any of these ideas on the basis that they're "unbalanced" is wrong. Bear in mind that any new pet will HAVE to have the exact same damage output/health as all* the other pets. If ANY pet was given superior stats, then EVERY pet user would have that pet, thus making all other pets superfluous.

I believe the "Boarilla" looked like a potential pet from the PC Gamer preview.
It was like a combination of a gorilla and a boar... go figure

Snograt is right. The pets are going to have to be balanced.
I've read DETAILED stats on the pets and all, they are balanced, the tiger and the bird and the hog and the Stalker and the spider ect ect ect. They're all exactly the same, with the one exception that the bear hits a bit slower.
They're not going to put in Camels for storage or Snakes for poision or elephants with enormous str bonouses. They're all going to have roughly the same stats across the board. One might be a bit slower or a smidge faster but don't bet on it. To me, GW looks to have messed up on the bear and tried to kinda phase it out but people complained so they just slowed it down and made it "Inconvienant" to use.

(big 5?
lion,zebra,elephant,giraffe and wilderbeast)
these animals are not the Big 5
the Big 5 are Lion, Elephant,Rhino, Leopard, Buffalo and incase you don't know
the Big 5 refers to the top 5 big game hunting animals. not the top 5 favorite animals. i know cause i live in africa.

Foxes/jackels would be really nice, and ones that will look like the currrent lynx/melandru stalkers, but ones that look thinner, cunning, with ears up.
Rhinos would be really cool too, as long as they don't make them wrinkley..

no thank you. I don't want a monkey. You know what...I want a big honking jungle bat to eat all those tiny monkeys! 
Sounds fair enough. Or even a buffalo. I don't think the elephants, lions, cheetahs, dingos, hogs, or any other animal talked about besides the crocodile and the rhino will be tameable

Bushtoad? hehe. Bull frog? This is called a bush toad found in the guild wars website. And I think the lion and rat thing is possible seeing is how its pic is shown on the site
Doesn't look like much of a pet though.
CAN'T WAIT TO KILL HARPIES, GRIPHONS, SIRENS, AND lOTS OF OTHER COOL NEW MONSTERS!! See you in Elona!

AT least 2 new pet elites.
Rage As One and Strike As One, Cant wait to try em out.

Well the webpage update pretty much confirms two of the new pets.
Lion and Rat.
Factions had tigers, white tigers, blue crabs, red crabs, black moa, crane, and phoenix. Or to be slightly more accurate, tigers, reef lurkers, crane and phoenix. The rest just being different colors of the same design.
So we probably only have 2 more new possible pets in nightfall, discounting color variations.
I'm going to go with hyenas and some form of aardvark.

zidergirl
I want to get rid of my "flap flap squawk" Phoneix (anyone with one as a pet will know what i mean
)
and that rat looks great but so does the lion , hard choice , as an alligator would be great too

but i still want my PANDA

I like the look of the lion but i possibly wouldnt use it - I'm not a cat person at all. I ditched the Stalker as soon as i could and got a Wolf. he's huge now... taller than my character! I dont think I'd change him... but I'm looking forwards to making some new characters with new pets
Ruby Lightheart
after seeing gw.com ....i got a bad feeling the new pets will be the rat and lion. Thats gonna have to be a boar sized rat though. If these end up being the new pets..I think that will probably be my only disapointment with Nightfall. I really was hoping for a nile croc
INFPGeek
From todays scribe... confirmation of 2 new animals.
The Pigmy Hippopotamus and the Flamingo.

According to the new Scribe, 2 of the new pets will be a Hippo and a Flamingo.

Jinx.... but seriously, the Pigmy Hippo sounds awesome. a waist tall hippo. how cool is that!
vinegrower
I'm soo getting a Pygmy Hippo.
Watch out! It's gonna get ya!

I get my flamingo! I'm sure they read my request here and included the flamingo just for me! Well, I can pretend, can't I? Thanks so much, Anet!
Ruby Lightheart
as mentioned above....the hippo and flamingo are the confirmed nightfall pets. Eh..i will stick with my dune lizard from propheses

Don't discount hippos. The regular-sized ones kill more people in Africa than crocodiles do, iirc...
As for the flamingos, let's hope Anet doesn't suddenly turn them blue or something (though come to think of it, a blue flamingo would be pretty cool)

My well-travelled Tyrian Ranger will stick with her Dune Lizard...
...but I'm thinking of making a bright orange Dervish/Ranger with a pet pink Flamingo! Living in Florida, the combination just seems *so* right.

The new hippo and flamingo have to be the stupidest pets ever made in gw. They seriously need to add better looking pets like a modified rhino (not the ones from the screenshots) and some sort of fox/jackel.
shaolin mind trick
The hippo is sounding pretty appealing, but if they had some kind of a fox, my decision would already be made for me.
The Fox
hehehe I'd go with the fox too
Wansanchez
cya later phoenix,hello hippo.
well hippo had to be there,it being the biggest man killer and all.
and lets face it if you were a nf enemy you know that big pink bird running at you would have you shi...........ok maybe more like lyfao.
just one thing that could take the place of my hippo,and that would be a giant croc/gator(my RL dream pet).but then again if croc goes in,think how many would have very like names-SE ftw.

The hippo's cool. The flamingo seems a little stupid to me. It'd be funny, but it just doesn't seem to make much sense as a combat pet.
My vote's for monkeys. And I like that rat. The lion looks... okay. I agree with some of the previous posters that it looks a bit too much like a reskinned stalker.
If I could have anything, though, it'd be a hyena.

(fake)
confirmed pet for nightfall-the hyena.all hyena owners must choose only 1 of 3 given names-shanzai,banzai or ed.LK ftw.
(fake)
forgot to mention i would also love to see the silverback and the general(answers on a post card...).or the clouded leopord(sp,its late)best suit an a/r due to it being one of the most elusive cats.

I charmed a flamingo during the preview event and evolved it to a Hearty Flamingo. Looks like the pets in Nightfall grow as they level:
I made my character as tall as possible and the flamingo was about the same height as my char when I charmed it. In this image, the flamingo is level 16.
I wonder if the pygmy hippo will grow to a regular-sized hippo.

Lol, I loved my pet Flamingo during the preview. My ranger though will need a lion <3 cats.
