Just something wierd i saw while waiting to play a game in Urgoz...seems to be a mini varesh, but for whatever reason i was able to click on it.

Some kind of bug maybe?

It's a bug, and it happens.

Its not odd, happens all the time and its a known bug for minipets.

Though that's the first time I've seen a minipet actually have its name show up underneath it. Kinda cool to look at.

Other than that, print off your screenshot and frame it. Doubt you'll ever see it again.

When you're in an outpost or town (for some reason it doesn't work in EVERY outpost and town), repeatedly let a minipet out and put him away, and continue doing that. Eventually you will see your minipet spawn with a lvl1 and occasionally a name.

note: I know it works in the Gate Of Anguish.

I've seen a celestial mini pig have the same thing...

EXCEPT...

It *also* had 8 party members in its group. I told the owner of the pig and she dropped one of her henches, but the pig's group count stayed at 8. We decided that the other members of his party were probably all other celestial mini pigs, and one monk.

I've seen this quite a few times, if not in game then on the forums. Nothing new.

As all groups should be.

As was stated, this is a commonly posted oddity, though I also have not seen the name appear prior to this one, and there are many threads on the subject already.
Additionally, it is a harmless, temporary effect, and it does not negatively impact one's gameplay experience to any degree that would warrant additional open topics for discussion.

You're welcome to continue the matter in any prior thread about the mini pet bug if you wish to.
