Hey there. Would be interested in people's ideas for new pets for the upcoming third Guild Wars chapter.

Personally, after having seen Phoenixes, I would love to see bats in the game. I can't imagine anything looking cooler with my Necromancer. They could always increase the size of the model too, make it a dire bat or similar and having it having upside down off the character's arm when not fighting

The other pet I think that would look great in the game is a crow, for much the same reason above. Gothic ambience. Just as I feel a hunting hawk or similar would work well with a warrior.

As we're not likely to be seeing any pet gryphons or dragons, thought I'd offer up a couple of realistic suggestions. Anyone have some of their own?

How about a snake? Maybe an asp to fit in with the northern african theme.

Snakes are a great idea. I'd be all for seeing two types of snakes actually. One poisonous one, like a mamba or an asp as you said actually dealing outpoison damage and one constricting type like a python or a boa, slowing the enemy down like a mesmer spell ^^

Coming to think of it...a snake charmer class, preferably with a NON human apparence for a change, such as naga could be fun. Spitting venom for the long attacks, controlling venemous and constricting snakes with an almost totally poison/deep wound attack set? I'd enjoy that!

Although you might find your character basking all the time in the desert sections and not able to move all that far

PENGUIN!
a penguin would be nice... it's attack is looking cute but it hurts

I might be spelling this wrong but... how about a kappybara?[I think it's the largest rodent]

I like the snake idea, but I don't like the part about it being venemous. From a balance standpoint, it would be a bit overpowered considering no other pet has an advantage such as poison. Besides, there's already a pet skill that causes poison. Only thing I can think of is add "lengthens poison duration by 33%" to the snake, but then you'd have to add a mod to all pets, which might not be a bad idea anyway.

Another thread on the subject.
And another.

Merge? Sticky? People obviously don't even read the first post in the index, and these threads seem to appear every few days..

Considering the search function wasn't working when I started this thread and the first thing I did was check the sticky about threads already started and saw none listed for 'new pet suggestions' I'd say you're being incredibly anally retentive.

But hey, what's a fun thread without a pedant to try and spoil things, eh?

How about a swarm of bugs. Sounds odd, but think about it; a swarm that grows with each level it earns. And to see it attack could be pretty cool.
