Future Pets?

[MistressMagpye]

As we move southwards, and towards eventual new levels someday, I found myself wondering what pets my Loremasters might have in future. One I would love to see, and that I think would fit well into an eventual Rohan-related expansion, would be an aurochs pet.

And for a new cosmetic pet, I'd love to have a badger.

Any animals you'd particularly like to see as pets?

[Skigorn]

Enedwaith demon goat.

I think it would be cool to have a Huron pet that focuses on CC (with a root!) and has a power drain (similar to how a defiler's totem works). As we approach Fangorn, being awarded the skills to call on the aid of a Huron by the Ents seems plausible.

I like the Huorn idea.

Mine:
1. Pet rock
2. Pet roc

I'd like some kind of a dog/canine pet that uses a new model. In the lore there were a lot of references to dogs, and there was one great hound whose name I cant remember that killed the werewolf Carcharoth.

[JeanCarlo]

Slightly off topic but I wish they'd replace the saber with a canine type; saber and lynx are basically both from the feline line.\

That said, wouldn't mind a dog variety for our next Combat pet (we have a couple of non-combats already).

[NotYetMeasured]

For non-combat pets, based mainly on the fun of having certain sounds played when they are out:

1. Young Nimblefoot Goat (for the stable/riding bleat)
2. Cricket
3. Chicken
4. Pesky Dormouse (mobile edition)

Maybe I'm wrong, but there is a version of the Eagle that they never added, even though I have seen pictures of it posted on websites.

The Ember Eagle

It would be nice if they added it, along with more variation of pets, and their colors. Even if the abilities stay the same.

Maybe for higher levels, at least give some reward for reaching higher levels. It seems like we stopped getting rewarded skills and abilities the higher the level in LOTRO.

We may be able to get a thrush in the future. Its still kinda birdish but hey without a thrush smaug would still be alive.
Another pet might be a "greater" eagle. If you didn't name your eagle the default will be lesser eagle. There are 2 possibilities for this. 1) A true eagle would not be caught dead with the low scum that is us.
2) We get a better one later on

From the Warcry Dev Chat: "We're introducing new appearances for the Eagle, Sabercat, and Bog-guardian. We're also changing around how Lore-masters can change their pet appearances: instead of needing to equip a necklace to change the way your pet looks, you'll now get a new separate skill."

Rask, I was just going to post that quote myself. It is great news! The change to the amulets, in particular, is something that has been long promised and will make a great bonus to character customization! Very much looking forward to it and *very, very nice* to see the devs taking note of player concerns.

A snapping turtle, similar to those that we kill for the Turtle Soup quest in Nen Harn, complete with the same knock-back skill. We already have a cute cosmetic turtle. Why not give us its more ornery cousin as a combat pet?

I didn't read that before, but that is very good to hear.

Knowing Turbine's sense of humor, they'll probably work in a Boar joke to the pet line at some point.

Porkachu, I choose you!

[Elfheart]

I would just like my cosmetic dog to actually look like a real dog instead of one of those scraggly, ugly bargest things. Can't we get something that looks like a beagle or a retriever?

Guild Wars 2 rangers get sharks.
WoW gets sharks with laser beams.

I think it is time for LOTRO to have sharks too.

Yes, this is what it would look like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iegWpN5Zm0

I don't want much. I only want an eagle... big enough to ride.
