Curse

OK, well we know now that evolution DOES affect pet size, at least as far as Elder and Hearty are concerned. Epinephrine and I took two wolves, one Hearty and one Elder, into Team Arena for a quick match. I spent more time trying to get a screenshot than I did in trying to win the match, so we didn't do very well - but that wasn't the point.

I'm also not totally happy with the screenies I DID get, either, but you can clearly see in these that the wolves are of differing sizes.

Now we just need to find a dire wolf...

During the hp testing portion of the pet guide, I was able to get some pretty good ground work laid for pet sizes. However, a lack of time at the end to polish that information meant it didn't go into the guide. Here is what I found, but didn't get a chance to verify with screen shots:

Smallest size:
Unevolved
Aggressive

Intermediate size (barely noticably so, but larger than the previous one):
Playful
Elder

Large:
Dire
Hearty

As I said, we didn't have time to verify that with screen shots, but if someone would like to do so, this should give you a good idea of what to expect. Also, the size difference between the first two categories is so minute that it most likely will not be obvious with a screen of the two pets side-by-side. You will most likely need to go stand is some water (or poison, that works quite well

), take the painstaking amount of time to stand the pets side-by-side (so as to ensure they're at the same depth), and then take the screen shot.

The size difference is most noticable in the Warthog, as that one has the greatest difference in size between the unevolved and the Hearty. I believe a Moa would work well also. The cats and Dune Lizard are the worst ones to test this with, as they grow very little comparatively.

Wow, thanks Jeno. I'd been thinking I needed a hearty Moa to get my really big bird, but (like you) I'd prefer to have a dire - and if it doesn't matter...minotaurs, here I come.

I must agree with Jeno. I have had a hearty bear, it was about 3 x the size of my current elder bear, both were and are level 20.

I've never really had a dire pet, except a spider.
