A little disappointed that the Rainbow Phoenix only gets a standard "Animal Companion" monument in HoM, whereas the "Imperial" Phoenix gets its own statue. I would have thought that this should have been the other way round if anything!

Just a little warning before anyone else wastes a monument place.

Edit: changed Celestial to Imperial - my mistake.

Can you charm a Celestial Phoenix as a pet?

If so where at?

And as far as I'm aware it is just called "Phoenix" ... not "Imperial Phoenix". If he is referring to the HUGE ones the Emperor has though, those cannot be charmed.

I'm guessing there is no monument for the Rainbow Phoenix to avoid an outcry from people without People Know Me or greater about the grind to get the pet.

Actually I think all eye of the north pets get the animal companion statue. We'll I've only tried with the rainbow phoenix and snow bear. Could someone confirm?

I got both animal companion AND black moa when I added the black moa.

I think every single pet, even the ones that have their own statue, get the animal companion statue

As for the name "Imperial Phoenix", that is the name the end-game Pheonix gets when entered into the HoM. Only the UW Spider, the Faction Pheonix and the Black Moa can be entered into the HoM as their own statue.

My guess the reason the Rainbow Pheonix does not is that you are already getting unlocks for having 10 Max Titles in the first place.

I added my Black Widow spider to the HoM but traded it in for the Rainbow Phoenix. I now find that only the Animal Companion statue is displayed, and there is no longer a representation of my spider (nor the phoenix for that matter). I take it this means that the HoM only acknowledges that we had a pet, not what kind of pet. Can anyone confirm?

It's quite possible you have more than 5 pets/Heros and the Black Widow Spider dropped off the list.

Click on the monument to adjust the order of Pets/Heros shown.

I have to wonder, why is Factions the only campaign with memorable pets?

Prophesies has a "memorable" pet (UW spider). To those who suggested spidey was displaced from the list - I hadn't even considered that. I've been adding heroes as elite armors became available, and never thought to re-shuffle the order. Will check this when I get home later. Thanks for reminding me of this feature.

The UW spider is a core pet.

i realy hope, like posted in an other thread, that the other campaign's and the add on will receive each their own ones too, so that not only factions has these prestige pets ...

I'd die for a little fenrir pet for my ranger as GW:EN prestige pet for example or for a reskinned mountain eahle pet called Quetzalcoatl , the thunderbird. would both fit perfect to GW:EN, especialy the Quetzalcoatl, because in GW:En also exist tengu like enemies called Quetzals.
Both would be real epic pets which would be worth to be called that alone by their lookings.

then give prohecies and nightfall something and fish, then would have each campaign and the add on have all their own special pets, but I would love it personally too, when the player could put any ranger pet there, once you got your pet to level 20

Quetzalcoatl?? By any chance do you even know what a Quetzalcoatl is?

Quetzal is just the name of a brightly colored bird typically found in Central and South American rain forests. Hence the fact that those bastards are almost neon green....

Coatl is Nahual for Serpent or Snake....

you put them together and you get......



Looks more like the Kuunavang with feathers.....IF it where to ever be added to the game it would have it would have to use the Kuunnavang skin and probably be about the size of a Full Grown Rainbow Phoenix.

I was very disappointed in Nightfalls pets, especially after Factions.

I was also surprised there was not a Black Moa equivalent for Luxon, although it's strange that the Incubator for the Black Moa Chick comes from Luxon territotry...

The reason you get a luxon incubator is cuz they're experts at incubators. They do breed combat turtles you know

shame there's not a Turtle Pet, though (and, not, not minipet or Battle Turtle! Just a pet size Turtle Pet for Rangers.)

Lugging a howitzer and spare ammunition on their backs can't be of much help... not to mention trying to give them orders since they don't wear earplugs when those cannons go off above just above their heads

When I first got my monument tapestery, I only had a pet black moa. I tried adding some of my heroes but had no alternate armours for them so I couldn't. The only optionsI could add were Black Moa and Animal Companion, so I added both.

Ok, checked whether spidey showed up in HoM and all that appears is the big, fugly statue that says "Animal Companion". Screenie of this below. I only had the one pet prior to getting the phoenix, and the animal companion statue attests that I did indeed add her to the mix of heroes I had on display. Rearranging what heroes are displayed on the stage does not matter - only the fugly statue appears. No idea if this is a bug, but I'm very disappointed that spidey will never grace my HoM again.

I'm very tempted to cap the Rainbow Phoenix for myself, but I know I would be sad if I lost my pet wolf Lupin all the way from pre searing (18 months ago).

I was gonna ask these questions in a new thread but this seems like the right place to ask, so here goes:

1. Can someone confirm for me if it is possible to display both the unique pets and the generic pets on the monument of fellowship?

2. Do you lose your pet in game if you choose to display it?

3. And because you can display up to 5 statues, does this mean you could have 5 generic pet statues on that monument or any other combination, eg: the 3 unique + 2 generic ?

4. And finally, does the generic statue still indicate with text which animal it was regardless of whether the statue depicts them or not? eg: "Polar Bear" or "Crocodile"

Thanks in advance to whoever answers my questions.

Yes, you can have both the Animal Companion monument (the generic one that display the bear, stalker and boar) and the unique pets displayed. At the same time if you want.

You can only have one copy of the Animal Companion monument. So you can have at most 4 pet statues displayed - the generic monument, the black moa, the imperial phoenix and the black widow.

Hope that helps.

I cananswer some of these for you:

1. Can someone confirm for me if it is possible to display both the unique pets and the generic pets on the monument of fellowship?

Yes this is possible. Some one in this very thread said that they in fact got an animal companion statue AND a Black Moa satue for just putting up their Black Moa.

2. Do you lose your pet in game if you choose to display it?

Definitely not. I put up my Rainbow Phoenix and he is still following me around.

3. And because you can display up to 5 statues, does this mean you could have 5 generic pet statues on that monument or any other combination, eg: the 3 unique + 2 generic ?

Not sure on this one - Edit - answered by poster before me a "no".

4. And finally, does the generic statue still indicate with text which animal it was regardless of whether the statue depicts them or not? eg: "Polar Bear" or "Crocodile"

No - It just says "Animal Companion" which is rather disappointing in my opinion.

An earlier post shows several elite pets being displayed - I'd like to to know how these pets are listed in the Fellowship status menu. Is each pet listed, or does it just say Animal Companion?

Hmmz, so pets and heroes are randomly displayed together on the monument, or in two seperate groups? If they're together that could take a lot of time clicking Rearrange to get the correct 5 Hero/Pet combo you want displayed >.<

Each pet is listed, as well as animal companion if it has been added.

Basically, rearranging rotates statues in and out in a set order, offering only a very limited combination of displays. Rather disappointing, I hope they fix it so we can just pick the five we want, somehow.
