Why not Dune Lizards?

I know they're tamable, but I never see anybody using them. Is it just too troublesome?

Dune lizards! They rule, ive just charmed one! I named him Big Smoke.

I have seen a few and they look pretty good, maybe the problem is that by the time you get to the desert earlier pets are at quite a high level. It can be a pain to lose out on that for a new lvl 5 lizard...

That's true. When I got to the desert, my wolf was about Level 13. It was tough parting with the wolf for a low level 5 dune lizard. But I did and just power level the lizard to level 20 by killing griffons and minotaurs.

Me and my Dire Lizard 'Newt'.

I also have a Dune Lizard, I like them
Mine is just lvl 13, but it levels good.

How do you know when your Pet is Hearty/Elder/Dire after you named the pet?

You just aren't playing in the right location. I have been doing alot of pet/barrage groups in the Tombs UW and I get at least 1 ranger with a Lizard in every group. I think they are actually pretty popular.

type /petname without any nickname and it will show its evolution

I have one too (Lizzy original I know lol )
She did not take very long to level up when I got her and soon got to level 20
Here she is

My bf uses one.

I think the problem is that people just dont wanna level up their pet again, so they either stick to the Stalker they got in the ranger quest, the wolf they got in shiverpeaks, or wait to get the underworld spider.

They deal piercing damage, which is weak vs. Necros and "Shields Up".

Lizards are convenient to get, however, for people who switch their secondary to Ranger after reaching the desert and are too lazy to go back to Ascalon for the Melandru's Stalkers roaming around.

Personally...i like the lizzy. The only thing better imho is the spider.

The Acolyte

I wish us rangers could have multiple pets. I'd have a zoo!

I got one and named it Godzilla. It's on my elem though so just for fun when I change to /ranger.

Very good idea!!!
