Now with Heros you can have 4 pets attacking in your team.
Your's and 3 from your heroes.

I find that quite an advantage since the amount of damage can add up significantly especially if you have Olias, or Master of whispers with you.

4 pets + 3 heroes + you + 9-10 minions = 17-18 damage sources with only 4 member groups. That is nice :-)

As far as I have understood with the exception of bears, all other pets are pretty much the same.

So what are your coolest pets? Where could we find them, and charm them for us or our heroes?

Well my pet is a Spider from the Underworld and AFAIK pets for heroes are always Elder Wolfs same a PvP. I haven't tested but pretty sure I read that somewhere.

Anyways Pets are a good utility I prefer a Quick Shot ranger anyday of the week.

My Ranger Primary has a phoenix from factions. Its quite annoying but I don't see a lot of them about.
My Warrior/Ranger has a Black Moa - also from factions. If I where to start giving my heros pets then I would get them black moas aswell (they start at level 15 and aren't too difficult to get)

try to get a diff pet for each hero you have, then the enemy will think it is under attack from escaped zoo.

Thanks Domon - I never go warrior/ranger so I never check on it - just got it for kicks.
If it does start at level 20 then its even better for heros

Aegeroth - I think the black moa always spawns in Ferndale once you have completed Beak of Darkness. I'd need to check Wiki but I'm pretty sure you can go back and get it if you failed to get it during the quest

Nice replies guys :-)

I have a Lion and a Lioness which I charmed at level 12, and aggressive.
Also a Lynx.

The lions you can find at Jahai Bluffs if I am not mistaken... but I will check and let you know...

Phoenix also sounds really cool.

Concerning bears, they are a bit slower in their attacks, according to wiki..

Keep em coming guys :-)

I concur wholeheartedly. Even though they are slow, they're still cool.

On the bonus side, I believe that an elder bear has the best body blocking out of all the pets.

I have a different set for each of my toons, 4 crocs, 4 striders, 4 pigs, 4 flamingos, 4 bears... Each hero for that toon has the same pet.

Just look them up on Guildwiki to find locations.

Koss with a flamingo is rather distracting, odd pairing. That is cool in my book.

As for the black moa, I've been told that black moa bird is always out there in Ferndale (outside of Ft. Aspenwood) once you finish the black moa quest. I haven't tested it, but I heard so from the biggest PvE game freak I know. He's yet to steer me wrong. (Like many others, I'm looking forward to pouncing on him for an incorrect answer someday, though. )

Black Moa is always present after you finish the quest.
I've charmed myself, returned to HzH and went back to get it for Jin.
So it's there after the quest.
(I wanted to have a quick laugh in Elona with the Black Moa and decided to get one for me and Jin).

I like Phoenix, Spider and Black Moa myself.

Some of my other characters have a melandru stalker, tiger and a Dune Lizard.

My ranger has an elder black widow from the UW, only pet I have at the moment, none of my 4 other PvE characters have pets at the moment nor did I charm my heros any pets but IMO the coolest pets would be the Black Widow, the Black Moa and the Phoenix.

I dig the addition of the giant rat in Nightfall, but I'm sticking with my Dire White Tiger. I run a beastmaster build...contrary to popular belief, pets can dish out some pretty awesome damage with beast mastery of 14 or higher. A couple advantages: I can continue to deal damage while casting Troll Ungent, cause damage while hiding around a corner, use my pet as a sheild, continue to do damage while blind or running away, do over 150 damage every 5 seconds....etc. Never underestimate a good pet build...as for where to find pets and how to use them...a good source of info has always been the wiki : http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Pets give it a try.

Ive got one of those on my ranger also, I think its hillarious that a pre-searing pet defeated the Lich, Shiro, Varesh, and Abaddon.

You can only get the Black Moa in Factions, though the beastmasters at Sunspear Great Hall will react if you bring a Black Moa to them.

You can capture any pet with your hero.
Also, they do not come with a pre-charmed pet so you have to go out and capture one for each hero you have.

Just an FYI.

Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,
In there stepped a stately raven of the saintly days of yore.
Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he;
But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door -
Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door -
Perched, and sat, and nothing more.

Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore,
`Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou,' I said, `art sure no craven.
Ghastly grim and ancient raven wandering from the nightly shore -
Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!'
Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.'

Much I marvelled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly,
Though its answer little meaning - little relevancy bore;
For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being
Ever yet was blessed with seeing bird above his chamber door -
Bird or beast above the sculptured bust above his chamber door,
With such name as `Nevermore.'

But the raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only,
That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour.
Nothing further then he uttered - not a feather then he fluttered -
Till I scarcely more than muttered `Other friends have flown before -
On the morrow he will leave me, as my hopes have flown before.'
Then the bird said, `Nevermore.'

Startled at the stillness broken by reply so aptly spoken,
`Doubtless,' said I, `what it utters is its only stock and store,
Caught from some unhappy master whom unmerciful disaster
Followed fast and followed faster till his songs one burden bore -
Till the dirges of his hope that melancholy burden bore
Of "Never-nevermore."'

But the raven still beguiling all my sad soul into smiling,
Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird and bust and door;
Then, upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking
Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore -
What this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt, and ominous bird of yore
Meant in croaking `Nevermore.'
