No Endgame Unique Pet for NF?

I'm wondering why the hyena is the last tameable pet in Elona. After getting to the end of cantha and seeing the ugly phoenix, but it being unique, I thought for sure elona would have one as well. Being ancient egyptian based, I figured we'd get our fiery phoenix of egyptian lore. Sadly this was not the case. In fact there was no end game pet like in faction, nor a "black" tamable pet like in both prophecies and factions. Now maybe the "black" pet hasnt been found yet, as I havent seen it on wiki or other sites, but it would be nice to have something that's unique for a pet.

Please do correct me if I'm wrong. I'd love to know there was a pet that requires some effort to get. I do have to say the wurm is awesome, but every one has that.

Thanks

yeah I'd definitely wait until the game is finished being released (should be December sometime) before making a final judgement.

Yea but there's always spider runs that people pay for, no real effort at all. Hey, I'll admit that I had two of my previous guildies run my Ranger to get the elder black widow I still have today. (I don't use pets on any character other than my Ragner except for my Assassin who used to have a Black Moa that I got rid of.)

Pets in hard to reach places have played out. Time for a new gimmick not a rehash of the same thing. Spiders and Phonex each had their niche , now lets move on please.

An elite type pet is cool to have, I hope there is such one in Nightfall.

The Phoenix isn't ugly. Some people are just too vain.

Anyway, they probably left it out because people complained about the Phoenix last time.

Ya I agree that it is proabably at the elite mission.

Actually probably Abbaddon's Gate's isn't the "last mission" and really this new elite mission probably is the final step to fixing all of Elona's problems.

I'm sure the Magnorites, Creatures of torment, etc aren't going to be too happy that abbaddon's dead.

Myself as a ranger I was disappointed in the selection of Nightfall pets. Want insanity how about a trainable monkey that would act as a hero after you leveled him and worked with him. You could use the Skin of the big apes that are there now in areas of the game.

Lets say we have a rampaging Ape eating villagers and we the heros are forced to go in and kill it. We then find out, opps, theres a youngin here, Feeling bad we take it in and it becomes a trainable pet. Now theres a new idea for getting a pet

I still want that cutesy rabbit near Ashford in Pre. Or what about a squirrel? that would make "Go For The eyes" much more relevant.

Yea, I'd love to have a rabbit as a pet if nothing else than for the Monty Python resemblance, lol. Until then I'm still aiming for getting a Dire Hyena.

I am just wondering why people think there has to be an end game pet just because there was one in Factions.

I rather not put too much high expectations into the December update when we know next to nothing conclusive about it

I know, it would have been too much fun to see an enemy go down under the rabbit and hear the announcer's voice "Humiliation!" Or maybe we could have some kind of "Signet of Dr. Jekyll" that would change the cutesy rodent into a gigantic carnovorous one.

People tend to think the spider was also a sort of endgame pet for Prophecies, despite it being in the Underworld, a Core area.

I can see the line of reasoning, though, and it's not bizarre to hope that Elona would have an endgame pet as well.

I think i was just die from laughing if they made rabbits tameable (dire rabbits anyone?)

I think it would be the funny thing ever to have a beastmaster take down a tank with a rabbit

Possible end game creatures: Hippo =p,Giraffe,elephant,frog(lol), and of course RABBIT

Oh yeah, I forgot about the elite mission release coming up. That gives me new hope for an elite pet.

I should rephrase, I didnt think the phoenix was ugly, it just didnt fit my characters style and it's a bit chubby for my image of a sleek, magical bird of mythology.

The "black" tamable pet in proph was the black widow in UW or FoW (cant remember off hand which its in). The black moa bird was factions version.

Anyway, thanks for all the comments and discussion.

The Black Widow is a Core pet.

Oh, I see, so it can be accessed by a factions only character and acct? I didnt know that. I thought UW/FoW were only accessable by prophecies. Thanks for clearing that up!

Whatever it is, I hope is fricking BIG!

Seriously, I'd really want a Blacktooth Drake as a pet, because they're fricking humongous.

I was so disappointed when the phoenix didn't grow to the size of the two NPC phoenixes next to the emperor =/

weren't they just followers of abaddon? i think they die off as well, since they were merely pawns to abaddon

I would really LOVE a little drake/dragon pet. I would love it if they updated the pet system to where you can capture any of the enemies (except bosses) then they turn into a level 5, smaller versions of themselves, and they essentially turn into a normal pet but they have the skin of the enemy you captured, then they can level up and turn dire/hearty/elder and such. Annnyyywaaaayyy that would be awesome IMO.

I'll go with the pure-information answer, since I'm ninety percent sure you aren't being sarcastic.

The Underworld and Fissure of Woe can be accessed from Zin Ku Corridor (Factions), and from The Chantry of Secrets (Nightfall), whether you own Prophecies or not.

(...Only ninety, mind you.)

I agree. I am quite dissappointed with the selection of pets. Hopefully the Elite mission will come with a endgame pet but my hopes are not high...

Slort is prolly going to be a mini-pet.

I wouldn't mind seeing a tameable monkey that goes mental whenever some gets out a banana sythe.
