Love the moose Idea. Polar Bear , or Mountain Goat naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa would be awesome ...I can see it now! Does 1 damage but eats the enemy's armor, causing cracked armor on the enemy and causes you to do steadily rising damage over time! ...What? They eat metal cans, you don't think they could eat metal armor? >:O

I think with all the potential for new pets we definitely need a way to keep multiple pets. I know it's been said time and time again but some people are gonna long for the new pets but not want to give up their old one, such as myself. I have that dilemma even now.

Well... there are less pets than heroes...

So... the best way to keep mltiple pets... would be having the ability to 'trade' pets with heroes...

A wolf saved in Jin... a Lion in Koss... a Tiger in Zenmai...

Talk to a tamer, and he can trade your pet with them as long as both you and your hero have them (charm animal equiped and pet tamed)...

That would be enough, won't it?

I've seen a bird that uses the 'hovering bird' movement patter (like the Phoenix).
I think its a hawk or an eagle.

So we'll have a bird of pray for sure.

I've also seen an immature Black Moa beside an Elder Black Moa in one picture. It looked a bit like a Kiwi.
I don't know if that one will be tameable...

Wouln't be cool that they added different appearances for different ages of Pets?

Lvl 1..10, lvl11..20.

It is a complete idea, why not have little pond turtles, 'bout 1 meter long. They can do blunt damage, (fantasy game can mean it is speedy ), walk slower in when not in combat, but fast enough to keep up. Possibillity for spiky shell. Around Maguma Jungle, or even charr homelands. Just an Idea.

If they don't have a panda, I think I might cry (while unlocking everything else, though :P)

I hope they come out with the sneak peek weekend soon! 24-26, right?

Actually, I'm kinda happy (but still a little put down T.T)
I don't have to watch my favorite animal die xD

However, I do like the idea of a fox. They would be really nice, especially if they had a snow fox (going from a FROSTwind xD)

The Polar-Bear/Snow Wolf are reskins of the current Bear and Wolf, they look nice though and are up for download as .tpf files at the top link if you want to change your current wolf or bear to these as a sneak preview. These are official pets as the tpf files were created from the new pet textures already in the .dat file. I tried to make the Eagle one as well based off the Phoenix pet, but the models are somewhat different so it's not going to work.

NO country is bigger than china. But that's not the point. we are still one of the richest countries in the world, and growing. Phear us. Now. [Evil laughter goes here]

If a species being both protected and the symbol of a country is reason enough to remove it from being target, then GW lynxes should be renamed to anything else... by the way they look more like Thylacines.

Where did that info come from though? Was it actually announced or just randomly added? An Eagle was clearly shown in the video, but it wasn't necessarily a pet.. and I don't remember a polar bear.

Same goes for the panda. I believe if I were to make a Hyena mod it would go on top of these two as well.

It still looks the same apart from the colour, don't see as much point in getting a snow wolf if you have a normal one. I believe lynx and stalker have different texture but same structure

One of the previews also mentions dodgeing polar bears while running through the shiverpeaks and getting a challenge from a Norn to hunt 25 of them down (though its not stated if they are pets or not,it sounds alot like the Pre Searing challenge to hunt a bear down and get a hunters ale)

I would love to alternate between my old bear and my new Black Moa Bird...poor Honey Jar didn't stand a chance

Oh, and since we are talking about pets here...has anyone mentioned the idea of pet armor? I would love to add more protection to my pet simply by armor so I don't have to keep up the pet spells. Also, then I could determine much easier which pet is mine when other party members have the same pet as me. Even something as simple as what the Black Moa is sporting...a collar.

Pet armor is just an idea...not a demand.

Well... someone had to put the collars in the Black Moas.
They can't hatch with that or grow that from thin air.

The version of that video I saw was too low quality to make out those names. And I remember hearing that the Norn have the ability to turn into different animals such as the Eagle. I just didn't want to jump to any conclusions, no matter how much it looked like a pet.

Snow Wolf, Polar Bear, Mountain Eagle. There is a definite snow peak theme. I would not be surprised if there was a snow leopard skin for the Melandru Stalker model.
