I had a Melandru's Stalker /petnamed Jaffar for a while, and when i got to Yak's Bend i decided to get a Snow Wolf. So i took the stalker to the tamer and when i charmed the wolf, his name automatically became Jaffar (tried even restarting the game between the two pets but didn`t help). Now how do i completely reset the name to the game default of Snow Wolf?

Are there other pet commands or just /namepet? You`ll ask why don`t i use /namepet Snow Wolf. Well i noticed that the "title" of the unnamed pets from some of the rangers changes as the pet gains levels (hearty, dire, playful, elder...) and i wanted to have that connection between those titles and the pet behaviour (defensive = hearty, offensive = dire and so on). But now that i can`t get rid of the /namepet variable, i`m not sure if my pet will get those titles.

Any advice from the rangers out there?

Its not titles, they just get the name Hearty Wolf & such. The effect (more health/offense) still applys.
Thats the impression I have gotten.

Yes, the word "Bag" is a very, very naughty word.

Bagpuss was the name of a cat in a kids TV program when I was little. It's really not offensive.

Didn't you know that names in children's shows are the dirtiest of them all? The kids shows are full of inappropriate innuendo. Its a joke for the parents to get, and the children to miss. For example, the popular 70's show "HR - Puff 'n' Stuff" was really nothing more than a thinly veiled drug reference. And if you've seen the show, then you know what being on drugs feels like.

I have tried just typing /petname, and it says that the name has gotta be 3 characters or longer . Is there a way to remove the name, and use its origional default name?

... was it the first thing he said to you?

btw, is this skill points or attribute points? I prefer the latter.

Ok, I'm apparently missing something here. I was under the impression that a pet is a pet, regardless of what type of animal it is. Was I in the wrong? If not, why would Hearty, Aggressive, etc., make any kind of a difference? Do pet's level up differently based on how much you heal them, how much they attack or something?
If so, I wish I'd known that before I went and renamed my pet. Heh. Oh well, so it goes. You live and learn.

Yes, in time unnamed pets automatically get prefixes according to the way you use them and once i found that out i thought it`s a nice thing to have. The problem is you can`t get rid of the name even if you change the pet, once you used the command you can never get those prefixes as far as i know.

I hope devs will add a command for reseting/deleting name completely, or make it reset when you give up the pet to get a new one.

Ok, well that would have been good to know before I named my pet! Heh. So then, when your pet's name changes like that, do you know if that affects its abilities/stats in any way? Or is it just a label for your animal?
