What animal from fiction would you have as your pet?

[MrMisfit]

Kirara from Inuyasha. Can transform from tiny and cute to large and deadly and can also fly in it's larger form.

 

[uchytjes]

Hm, I'll go with a DnD style dire wolf. Big fluffy, cuddly. I can probably handle the personality. It's basically a giant husky, just even more stubborn.

Potential problems is that it would eat a lot and would be difficult to fit in the bed. A huge fluffy puppy that could tear an elephant apart, what's not to like. ^^

The inevitably massive dumps it will take on your front lawn. Either that or the massive food budget you'll need.

 

[chinangel]

a kitsune obviously. and i w ould assume that it would eventually turn me into one of it's kind. Thus I win. Everything. Ever. Forever.

 

[Extra-Ordinary]

A Metroid.
As a baby. Because if I encounter an adult Metroid, I'm going to die. It'd be an outdoor Metroid, feeding on squirrels and birds.
Although I guess I'd have to keep an eye on it considering it might go after my neighbors when they do so much as go get their mail.

 

[s0p0g]

the same pet i had in Star Wars Galaxies: a cute little Rancor, hurrhurr
genetically engineered so it doesn't go all rampage all over the place

or a Wolpertinger. because a) of its funny name (must be a bavarian dialect or something) and b) half cute, half disturbing, 100% freakshow

 

[Teoes]

Spoiler

That sucker right there. Imagine the reactions! Probably influenced by a recent playthrough, but hey ho. Any potential enemies of mine packing an Ice Beam and Missiles? Didn't think so. And hey, at least with this kind of choice I'm not going to be nin-

Dammit!

 

[Angelowl]

I guess I'll add werewolves and kitsunes to the list even though I see them more as partner material than possible pets. I think they would object to a leash.

THIS! Can has canine ears and tail please? Would be very proud of my tail. ^^ Do I get shapeshifting with that as well?

 

[l0ckd0wn]

@LostGryphon I don't want to act out parts of the Never Ending Story... I want to be in it!

Spoiler: FALCOR, I CHOOSE YOU! :D

 

[ShipofFools]

Willard's rats from Willard.
Intelligent rats that do your bidding, hells yea!

 

[alphamalet]

I want a Moogle sooooooo bad! Look at the little guys! They're awesome!

 

[Oly J]

I cannot beleive nobody has said Chocobo yet, definitely Chocobo

 

[Arnoxthe1]

No one's said it yet? Surprising...

I'm gonna be super hip/honest here and go with: no pet at all. I walk this empty street alone, baby.

 

[Quaxar]

or a Wolpertinger. because a) of its funny name (must be a bavarian dialect or something) and b) half cute, half disturbing, 100% freakshow

Actually, that specific name is descendant from a village called Wolterdingen in south-west Germany. But if you want dialect names for it you could have the Lower Bavarian Rammeschucksn or Austrian Raurackl. Or something from literature: Hirschbockbirkfuchsauergams, which looks crazy but is actually just a list of its animal parts crammed into a single fantasy-word (deerfoxcapercailliechamois).

OT: inb4 Pinkie Pie (assuming reality bending powers stay active)

 

[Benni88]

Fox Squirrel from Nausicaa. Too cool.

 

[Vegosiux]

Assuming I'd want to have a fictional pet, here are a few of my choices...

Spoiler: Nimbat

Spoiler: In case I want to build a sheep-powered raygun, I will need one particular sheep...

Spoiler: Can't go wrong with a nekomata as presented in Disgagea

Spoiler: Oh I'd also have a mimic, to troll people...

a kitsune obviously. and i w ould assume that it would eventually turn me into one of it's kind. Thus I win. Everything. Ever. Forever.

Or so IT would like you to think. Remember, them critters are masters od deception. But who can resist! I sure can't, so I'll jump on that train too...

 

[Starik20X6]

Assuming I can have as many as I like, I'll have some Pikmin! Have them keep my house tidy, cook for me, do any chores I don't want to do, which gives me plenty of time to do whatever I want. They'd be almost zero maintenance too, so no trying to keep up with the food demands of, say, a dragon, or cleaning up its SUV sized poop.

 

[Bradmaster Flash]

The dog from Dragon Age: Origins. He always seems constantly happy, and the 'dialogue' with him in the game is awesome.

 

[Angie7F]

Fox Squirrel from Nausicaa. Too cool.

Me too! Me too!

Also, do Rosen Maidens count?

 

[Mezworld24]

Songbird. I can fly anywhere I want and destroy anything I want with him (as long as neither in underwater)
