People have been asking for the moss spider to be charmable for ages now, but since then there have been other animals since that I would like to see charmable:

Swarm of bees (since they pop in EOTN now)
White Rabbit/Rabbit (the ones in sunqua vale)
Blobby (would be sort of like canthan phoenix)
Druids (the ones in Bloodstone Fen, would be first ghosty kind of pet)

These wouldl be pretty easy to do, for moss spider/normal rabbit they might need to put in new spawn places and for druids to be lvl5. Add your suggestions too please.

I second the wintersday moa, there's a spawn of them in the secret lair of the snowmen anyway. As for the moss spiders, I never understood why we couldn't tame them in Pre to begin with. Their green text is the right shade for a tameable pet, and they don't look that similar to black widows. Besides, having a pre-only pet would be kinda cool.

i like the idea, but i doubt a-net will make these changes, although they might what with the extra hands they are getting.

Yeh I was also thinkin of a devourer/ the ox,maybe scale down the ox to bear size and for the devourer maybe give Old Mack a devourer egg from pre to 'hatch' yourself one.Oh yeh and the tracking panda Ling Wong, I wants vicious panda...hell maybe even make ambient frogs charmable :P.

Swarms of bees are not eligible for animal companions, because they are not one animal, they are many.
The rabbit is too small, is not something that could ever have 80 armor.
The blobby... well, it's a monster, not an animal.
And druids are SPIRITS!!! Just like Ranger and Ritualist spirits!

But I do agree with the Moss spider.
I don't know about Wintersday Moa and Polar Bear(like Ursula the White)... for them.. maybe.

Oh, but thank, you rmemebered an old idea of mine that I was planning to update since the addition of the Prophecies End Credits area.

You can see the updated version here..
It has a poll. You should ad a poll to. I like polls.

what about the Caribou/Deer that spawn in Eye of the north? they should be charmable. whats the point of some of these things if they can't be charmed.... i want one.

Also. i want a better statue in the HoM for rainbow phoenix... not a stupid "animal companion" statue.....

Wintersday Moa, Moss Spider, and Devourer have my 100% vote. Ever since I saw the Devourers in pre on my ranger a long time ago, I always wanted it as a pet.

Don't be boring! Bees would be awesome, there aren't any insect pets and it doesn't matter what it looks like if it functions the same. I have heard lots of people wanting the white rabbits to be pets. Blobby is awesome. The druid is just kind of an idea, there should definitely be some sort of ghostly pet, I just went with druid because they look prett cool and are in a pretty hard to reach place so it would require effort to get one. I definitely want to see more ways of getting pets, eg. at wintersday winter moa's can be charmed, at halloween a ghost/bat spawns somewhere

Spiders are available in the Underworld. I see no need to make the Moss Spider tameable.

because the skin is a little different. the only thing is arent they in FoW as well? this would make them a core pet. I would like to see something that is proph only.

lol...yes we has one type of spider,no more needed (look at wolves/moa's). Moss spiders are pretty special anyway as they are only in pre, not to mention that widows can be bought and can't be trained by yourself.

No logical reason why not so yes go for it.

The pet damage is very similar ok some slash some pierce etc but similar.
So little reason not to use all the animals in the game and if some want a rabbit ok they get a rabbit doesn't do much but that's their choice.
I guess they wouldn't allow a poison or ranged attack leastways not in gw1.

+1.
I think yaks and devourers shouldn't because Anet was already bitching about MOX being too big for PvP, they'll never allow such pets(maybe devourer). And it would be impossible(as in too lazy) to turn those specific pets in standard snow wolfs pvp pets in used in pvp.

Yeh ox would be pushing it, could be scaled to bear size though. Char use mini devourers in the BMP so you know anet can actually do it. As for fleshreavers, good idea, would be a nice creepy pet.

Yup. All animals that can't be charmed are of the 'Beast' family. But not all charmable animals would be of the 'Beast' family if they were not charmable.
Black Widows would be from the 'Spider' family. And devourers are basically scorpions, which are cousins to spiders.

Only animals that shouldn't be charmable are members of the cat family.

I mean really ever tried to get a cat to do something ?

My cat will:
- Go catch anything I throw (although she won't give it back).
- Come when I pat my leg, then cling to the leg and wait for me to scratch her head.
- Climb my leg if I pat again and at a higher part of the leg.
- Mew in a different voice when she's going to puke.
- Use the cat litter.
- Go down from any place she climbed to when she is told 'Go down'.
- Stop doing something she's doing when anyone tell her 'No'.
- Come when her name is said.
- Sleep only where she is told to.
- Open closed doors.
- Wake me up if I oversleep.
Cats can be trained.

I'm currently trying to train her to make me breakfast, but she makes a mess when making the toasts.

lol ok you got me there.

As for training cats, have to see it to believe it.
Cannot wait for guide cats to replace guide dogs.
If I ever need one im going for a tiger.

Hmm
I wonder if all members of the cat family are the same.When attacked by a Lion simply throw a ball of wool then get the heck out while it plays with it.

For a Lion, YOU are the wool ball. So I doubt it would work, XD.

Just youtube for things like 'smart' and 'trained' cats.
Only parrots, monkeys and dolphins are smarter than cats!

The only good use for a cat is for alligator food.

2. Ooze
3. some kind of small dragon?
4. Bat (obtainable only during Halloween events)
