What is your fave pet in the game?
rainbow phoenix is the best looking, imo. had one for a while but got rid of it because it took up the whole screen when i was thumping lol. i may re-charm it at some point though.

What was the first pet you got?
up until a few months ago, i still had my stalker from pre-searing 2 years ago

Which one do you have now?
dire iguana! fear it!

Do you have any pets for heroes, and what are they?
yes, they are whatever happened to be walking by when i had ranger heroes.

Cats.
Kitties.
Kittenz.
Pussy Cats.
Mammalia Carnivora Felinus.

What can I say? It's a theme.

For my heroes, I've taken a wider view of pet-dom, and they have different companions. I think I'll hook up Dunkie with a BWS at some point... if that's even possible.

Seeing as you like cats so much, I have 5 or so you can have IRL.

Is there a chance that you on anet find some time to implement bunny-pets on eastern?
Some sort of kickboxing easter bunny would be awesome cool.

I guess as long as that takes i stick with all the other available pets in game.

Lioness. Because its a savage animal with grace.

But let's finally name it: the pets we want are golden dragons, tamed hydra's, savage creatures tied to their master by a thin thread of magic, always waiting for a change to break free...

My first pet was a black moa, because I wanted the special statue in GW:EN, and becase I didn't want to see it die just to finish the quest it was in.

Currently I'm raising a phoenix.

My favorite pet is the White Moa.
My goal is to get one for myself, and every one of my heroes.

1st pet: the stalker in pre. That ranger didn't last long.

My newer ranger, who I love, got a tiger outside Shing Jea, but gave that to the tamer and then picked up a Black Moa, named Ophelia.

My Rit adopted a white Moa outside Olafstead and named him Hector.

That's all the pets for now, although the heroes really need some pets.

When you do not want to spend time in pet leveling the black moa is a fine way to give your heroes a full fledged pet.

My main (dervish) had a moa for quite a long time. But when I finally got him to twenty he never evolved after aggressive

this was just days ago, I thought that bug was fixed? So I gave him away.

Pretty soon that dervish will be going after a white crab... I wanna see how big they get!

My ranger has a dune lizard, had him for literally years >.> but he'll be giving that away in favor of either a hyena or a crocodile!

I'm gonna tell you.

I have pets on my characters, I like them sometimes. I don't really use them though. But when other people talk about or get all giddy over using a pet and always bring a pet it pisses me off so much. I don't even know why anyone who uses a pet or gets happy about their pet is my enemy.

It doesn't really make sense to me, where did this love/hate pet relationship come from. My pets never did anything wrong to me so why do I hate all you others that have pets? I don't really know.

Me - dire black widow right now, tho I might go back to my hearty rainbow phoenix. I enjoyed sending the giant crayola chicken after people in ab since they would attack it and leave me to just nuke them without getting hit ^^

The only hero I have with a pet atm is pyre, with his raven. I thought about getting each of my heros a pet and leveling them up but meh, no point. Although I really think norgu needs a pink flamingo following him around.

Well, today I went into HoM and there was a Rainbow Phoenix flying around, I was quite amazed. But I could not give up my Black Moa for anything. I wish we could keep a stable of pets and decide which one we wanted to use. Too bad I can't give it to a Hero.

I have two characters with pets, my ranger and my ritualist :] I don't really use a pet on either account, but they're fun to have :3

My Ranger has had . . like, four pets. Melandru's Stalker, named Tom Cruise, a piggy named Ron Bruise, some sad unnamed lizard that I charmed because I thought it was cute, and a Lion named Xenu. Uh, can you see a trend? :B

My Ritualist has a majestic black moa named Volg :3

My first pet was a Melandru's Stalker from Pre-Sear, but my favorite is the Phoenix I have on my Ele.

All my characters have pets, but I try to match the pet to the character. My Necro has a Black Moa, my Warrior has a Dune Lizard and so on.

As for Henchies, I don't really care what kind of pets they have, but I give most of them flamingos, just because I find it funny to see the flock of birds running around.

As an aside, I've never released a pet. I had to replace one once when my warrior lost his lizard to a game glitch during a holiday event.
