Yep screw the "RL" animals I want something like this

(beware this post was made after 12am it may sound stupid)

I think we'll get dingos since a lot of people in some african tribes train them to be like hunting dogs. And notice that the build for an R/P they had was 'Pack Hunter'. Lions, hyenas, wolves, and dingos are a few animals that hunt in packs. Elephants, monkeys, and crocidiles dont hunt in packs, so they might not be pets.

There are camels in Africa, though...

Nah, you're getting confused with Australian Aborigines. Although the Moa was actually a real, if now extinct, bird in New Zealand...

Where's the Jackals?? I want Anubis wannabes to be my pet....and "The Prince" from prince of peria:the 2 thrones to be my slave hero....speed kill...speed kill.....WHAM......transforms into DARK PRINCe and eat every enemy alive....

i love i love the idea of training a new rhino or giraffe or something (i usually stay away from pets that have the same shape as the stalker since they all have the same shape except with the different skin)... but i hate the idea of having to train it for a day just to get it to dire.

And the Moas of GW are based on real birds too (the extinct "terror birds" of the Americas)...

Mrscoombes · Sep 04, 2006, 08:00 AM // 08:00

those terror birds on TV really did remind me of those moa birds on GW....

I'm hoping the elite pet of factions will be a "ksdjaosidjkoaijdoijasoi-osaur" because then it'd be easier to spot >=(

SO im thinking the following possible Pets
Lama (does no damage but provides extra storage)
Camel (Does Spitting ranged attacks that causes blindess for 1-5 seconds)

*Llamas are from America.
*African Camels don't spit.

If there's a pet Llama, my Hog is getting traded in.

sabretalon · Sep 04, 2006, 11:29 AM // 11:29

I think we will see scorpions, although tey will be too much like devourers!

A sphinx would probably look too much like griffons!

I doubt it would be a camel, as they really don't attack people, well other than spit in their faces! And no not even for storage!

It will more likely be wild dogs, jakals etc..and scarabs or maybe birds like the ibis, cats were a big thing in egypt. Could be an aardvark! or porcupine or zebra or pangolin or baboon or macaques

You'll have to wait 'til Guild Wars Campaign 7 (working title codename "Montezuma's Revenge"), which uses a South American theme.

Tetris L · Sep 04, 2006, 11:58 AM // 11:58

Seriously now, I expect to see:
* Wild cats (Lion / Leopard / Black Panther / Cheetah / ...)
* Wild dogs (Hyena / Jackal / Desert Fox / ...)
* Buffalos / deer (Gnu / Antelope / Oryx / ...)
* Monkey (Gorilla / Baboon / ...)
* ...

The following I'd like to see, but don't expect to:
* Giant Snake
* Giant Scorpion (Joe FTW!)
* Crocodile
* Hippopotamus
* Rhinoceros
* Vulture
* ...

Nightwish · Sep 04, 2006, 02:18 PM // 14:18

I'm not sure if crocodiles and elephants are possible as pets due to their sizes. Elephants would be too big (bigger than even the bear) and while crocodiles are not as huge, they are quite lengthy (at least twice the length of the dune lizard?). Of course this assumes that Anet really follows the scales

Then again, we have gigantic scorpions in Prophecies XD

Xavier Lightstone · Sep 04, 2006, 03:02 PM // 15:02

Ok, if there is no Monkey (any type), I'm going to be seriously disappointed.

I'm using Tear Windscreen Wiper's Off on Ford Mondeo!!!
I'm using Scratch Monkey Balls

etc..

McMullen · Sep 04, 2006, 05:48 PM // 17:48

This might sound a tad bit daft, but i'd like a mountain goat who's horns grow with each level.

Maybe there'll be more bird like pets that can fly a bit. Like a vulture..
I want a mountain goat though..

Horseman Of War · Sep 04, 2006, 08:21 PM // 20:21

i could go for a goat^^

Id like a swarm of scarabs as a pet, but somehow i doubt that will happen.

any monkey will make me happy

However, to all yalls dismay- Im going to go out on a limb and not expect any kind of 'grazing animal' to join our ranks. that would be like if Prophecies had a 'pack mule' or 'cow' type pet.

my speculation on pets NOT charmable-
antellope/gazel/llama/etc -> too non-rangery (its true!)
giraffe/hippo/elephant/rhino -> too big
tigers (already done)

speculation on pets that ARE charmable-
monkey/ape/LEMUR lol
lion/cheetah
hyena/jackyl
crocodiles/snakes
giant insect
