So we all know there are so many pets in Guild Wars, some harder to obtain than others. So I figured I'd start a post about it.

What is your fave pet in the game?
What was the first pet you got?
Which one do you have now?
Do you have any pets for heroes, and what are they?

I've had a pre-Searing wolf since the beginning, but when GWEN came out and they had white ones, I had to have one of those. Wolves and I are tight, especially white ones. hehe

My heroes' pets consist of the following:

Tahlkora has a lynx
Razah has a dune lizard
Olias has a Jahai rat
Zenmai has a crocodile
Margrid has a white tiger
Jin has a lion
Goren has a black bear
Pyre has a mountain eagle

I was going to make all my heroes have a pet even if they didn't always bring them. But I have a long way to go since I have every single hero in the game yet. lol

The first pet any of my characters ever had was a Melandru's Stalker, charmed in pre. I don't have any rangers running at the moment, so no pets on my account for the time being.

My favourite pet animal is the white tiger. Beautiful, majestic creatures; and monochrome is the new black

My first pet was a Melandru's Stalker, replaced by a Snow Wolf when I reached the Northern Shiverpeaks. When Factions came out I replaced it with an Imperial Phoenix.
A couple days ago I decided to tame a white wolf, but I got a Black Moa first to get the statue in my HoH.
Now I'm leveling my white wolf to dire.

I have a pet on my main character only (ranger).

Well my 1st pet was Stalker, surprise surprise! He got replaced by a Snow Wolf in the Shiverpeaks, and a Lynx in Kryta. My current pet is a tiger because I've yet to get to the stage that I can cap a more awesome one. My favorite pet is an Iguana, so I'll DEFINITELY have to get me one as soon as possible.

My Ranger has a Phoenix and my necro has a black moa.

Heroes I have a number of wolves and bears spread around my heroes.

My Necro gave her heroes Black moa birds too, I figured four of them would give that guy outside the sunspear hq a heart attack.

My first warrior had a Crane I was so proud of until some leader of a PUG said bloody pets after it agroed everything in the temple mission so I gave up using pets after that. Then I realised everything agros in that part of the mission anyway but still it`s taken a while to get over it. Damned noobs .

None of my hundereds of heroes have pets and it`s gonna take a long time to right that but it`ll be a fun week when I do.

My 8 month old Proph warrior is the first for almost a year to get a pet and has been grinding titles just for the Rainbow Phoenix, got it today, yeah! Damned thing seems to be backward though, had to get to lvl12 to evolve to aggresive and now it seems I have to take it to lvl16 to evolve again - hoping it`s elder.

My monk has a bear from the shiverpeaks but can`t find any use for it, still one of my favourites though.

So:

1 - Rainbow Phoenix
2 - Black Bear
3 - Crane
4 - Black Moa

I don't know about your neighborhood, but I always have giant eagles the size of saint bernards hopping around like flightless chickens in MY backyard . . .
I dont know wtf they were thinking when they made the eagle/raven pets

White Tiger is favourite! Melandru's was my first in pre, and i currently have a white tiger on my ranger, although until I charmed that I had a pink flamingo, which was fun.

What is your fave pet in the game? Black Widow Spider, definitely

What was the first pet you got? After the stalker, Wolf.

Which one do you have now? My Ranger has a Mountain Eagle; Necro has an Imperial Phoenix (which goes really well with her brightly colored Vabbian outfit)

Do you have any pets for heroes, and what are they? Most of them are outfitted with a Black Moa (easiest insta-lvl 20), but on my Ranger, Margrid has a Raven and Jin has a tiger (haven't got Pyre on him, yet).

My fav pet: Rainbow Phoenix. It's huge and colorful.

My current pets:
Necro: Rainbow Phoenix. He's my main, he deserved it so much x].
Dervish: Black Widow. Looks cool with FoW armor O_o.
Rit: White Tiger. Was back when I wore my 15k Imperial, and I thought it looked really good with it. Haven't used the pet much more these days though...
Ranger: Jahai Rat. Rats are underrated and unique x]. Might change for an albino though, we'll see.
Assassin: Blue Crab. Called it "Brackets" for some random reason.

First pets: Melandru's Stalker. Didn't like it. Ranger got a Lynx after, then I went for a Black Moa, Dune Lizard, and then I got my fat rat. Necro had a Black Moa at first, then got a Flamingo (pink necro = pink bird no? x]) and decided to get PKM... bird came with it x].

I don't have any pets for my heroes, they're usually running BHA and I don't have much of a use for pets on it.

My ranger has a raven named Nevermore. My other characters probably have none or a Black Moa.

No pets for my heroes. Though if I get hold of a decent BM build that will change.

Currently I'm only really using my ranger for AB's, running a BM build. The build itself sucks (I am looking for a better build), but it is reasonably successful because hardly anyone ever attacks a BM when there are other targets around. Especially when I was running it with a level 19 pet

My Necro has a Black Moa, but never uses it. I will get a Phoenix and a Rainbow Phoenix and a Black Widow to add it to the hall of monuments later. But my three ranger heroes use their pets:

Jin: Black Wolf
Margrid: White Wolf
Pyre: Snow Wolf
... and they are Dire Wolves.
(BTW: White and Black Wolf are same size, the Tyrian Snow Wolf is still a tiny bit larger, despite same evolution)

The same for my Mesmer, which has a white tiger called Montecore herself, she maybe has the funniest companions:

Jin: Blue Crab
Margrid: Red Crab
Pyre: White Crab

Shift the order and you get the french flag...

Ranger: Snow Wolf herself, levelled the hard way to dire, this is why she will not give it up ever.

Jin: Orange Tiger
Margrid: Hyena
Pyre: Normal Moa

The idea was to have every ranger a beast from their homeland.

Everytime I got too lazy to level a pet, e.g. on my Elementalist's rangers, they got a Black Moa or Black Widows.

White Tiger, but I'm biased as my ranger has had one for over a year and I won't change it. Gotta love those blue eyes, it's gorgeus.

Melandru's Stalker in pre on my ele.

White Tiger on my ranger. Black Moa on my ele, tamed it for fun.

Only on two Jins - one has a phoenix and the other a hyena. The hyena is ace, the noise makes me laugh but he tends to get stuck in geometry a lot.. >.>

My first absolutely favourite was the Bear.
They are soooo cuddly!
Then Factions came - and the Bear had to step aside for ... the one and only ...
the Crane!111
Then the Crane was nerfed (bastards!) and so I moved to the lovely and most adorable Tiger!
I then thought of moving onto the Flamingo - but I am not really feeling it.



All my pets pretty much have the same names though - it's either Sweetypie or Sugarlumps. (Lovely seeing a hearty bear named Sugarlumps! )

My favorite pet is: ALL.

But I can have only one at the time. Come on ArenaNet, add a way to have multiple pets in one character.

Idea: Let us show pet in town when the Charm skill is equipped, then (only in town) you can click in a new button next to the pet HP bar for select of a list of all your pets.

Idea 2: Add new title for pets, you max title getting all pets to level 20.

Idea 3: Add more pets to game.

First pet I ever tamed was the Wolf in pre searing, and I was shocked when I got a quest just after going post searing that tried to force me to abandon that pet in favour of a stalker...

Skipping the quest I went on to trade my wolf in for a White Tiger once I saw them in Factions.

I tamed a Polar Bear on Jora, just looks sweet next to her.

I would say that White tiger is the best followed by any Wolf then the Bears. Never been a real spider fan but they look cool with a necro/ranger.
