Yup. Before suggesting animals, ensure they have a conservation status 'vulnerable' or higher.

Species with 'least concern' would be even better.

I don't know what the problem with the pygmy hippo is. Anet changed the color of the Crane's head to make it less like a real whooping crane, so I guess there is a precedent for avoiding the implication that it's ever okay to harm an endangered species. And you can't really change a hippo's color to make it a plausible not-hippo.
Right about Pandas, wrong about Hippos.

The problem with the Pygmy Hippo was purely coding related. There were some issues with the skin causing some people to crash (no clue why) and because they couldn't fix it before Nightfall's release, they replaced them with Crocodiles.

Read these if you don't believe me:

Cool to know about hippos then, maybe they could fix that up. I'd find one amusing, and probably get one for a hero...

Priority-wise though...black panther, plzplzplz. Would still possibly wet my pants out of sheer joy (hyperbole, ppl).

Lots of good ideas, keep 'em coming.

Edit: PS..hate Earwigs. I have nightmares about them, well, crawling in my ears while I sleep. Of course, I also have nightmares about Leprechauns. Hmmm...I might be able to cope with Earwig pets, but plzzz no leprechauns kthx.

Edit: PSS. It's 4am.

Ooh black and white versions of wolves (possibly without that silly hunch-back) would indeed be very cool.

How about a pet Bladed Aatxe look alike ^_^.

Falcon, Snake, better looking Wolf (not the slick-furred hunch-back we have now), Squirrel, Badger, Scorpion, Rabbit.
I especially like the Falcon and Rabbit

Sidheyuna Aetheris,
I agree with your suggestions, except for the penguin; maybe a walrus would work, though.
(This idea is bad: what about a pack of 3 squirrels that stay together as one target group. Stupid, but almost funny.)
Best Regards,
Chris. Dratz
