What pets actually get bigger? - Guild Wars Forums

I know that going from normol to playful to hearty pets get bigger. The only ones that I have noticed to grow are the warthog and the moa.

My question is what other pets grow as they progress?

as far as i know. all pets. except for pets that are already lvl20

My Dire Lynx is about the same size as an unevolved Tiger, so I think it also has to do with the type of pet you're working on and what evolutionary path you're taking.

AFAIK, all pets can get bigger.

All pets do AFAIK. Most people in PvE have a hearty so you never notice size differences, but when I bring my elder pet in a B/P group, he looks like a baby.

My bear is huge now lol, when I run to easy places such as Ascalon - Yaks Bend (which I don't really do anymore, because I've found the money from Beacons-LA really adds up) I take him and the noobs go 'Wow, he's huge... wait, I thought you couldn't charm bears...?'

Heary and Playful ones are the biggest...

Unfortunately, I'm not noticing any size difference for Canthan pets. My ranger got a Phoenix from lvl 5 to 20 and... it doesn't look any bigger than it was when I first got it. Defintely not of the size of the ones standing next to the Emperor. My first Assassin also took a crab to lvl 20 and it too didn't look like it changed.

If there *are* changes for Canthan pets, then I must be blind. But it's defintely not as obvious as Warthogs or Moas(those things become giraffes!

)

Well I know that Tyrian pets change size. I don't think they'd change that for Canthan pets.

I do know that my bear is effing huge!
