What kind of pets would you like to see?

@luckydaddy0731 I think that crab was quite awesome.

Because it is sea of thieves, I would like to see something mystical. My favorite animal since I was a kid was the tasmania wolf aka tasmania tiger, because there is a remote possibility they still exist. I think it would fit right in with SoT; and look cool doing it.

I too would like the owner of the pet to be able to toggle others' ability to manipulate the pet.

Monkeys, macaws, parrots, cats and goats from my side. @Admiral-RRRSole Despite being possible to fire them out of cannons, maybe they're going to be immune to death, and whatever, they're going to respawn just like the pirates when lost at distance. There's actually animal violence ingame when you pick that white chiken that cross in your path at the bush while you where chasing the golden one, so I think this only could go better with the poor animals if they make a pet update XD

@admiral-rrrsole I really hope they wouldn’t let other players abuse them!

@admiral-rrrsole I agree. I don’t want pets in the game, but for slightly different reasons. I don’t think people are really thinking this through. They’re going to turn the game into a ridiculous menagerie. Everybody is going to want one, so you’ll never see a pirate without some little animal following them around. They’ll be distracting and immersion-breaking and silly. I’m a true animal lover, but I am dreading this whole idea. Ugh.

I don't want to see that either. I'm hoping pets may be one per ship (like a ship customization). Long ago, they said pets would be something everyone on the crew could interact with, so it'd be a shared enjoyment/experience.

It could get tricky, for several reasons, but I hope Rare handles it well. So far, they have my trust that they will.

As far as I what I want to see...
I want to see parrots on pirates' shoulders. Monkeys work, as well.
Cats are trickier... I can't see them on a pirate's shoulder so much, but we've seen a glimpse of them.

Beyond that... you know, despite being a fan of Pirates of the Caribbean, I never even thought about undead pets... until I saw Salty the parrot in-game. Brilliant!

Also, I'll just say that the way Salty looked, and was animated, made me think that Rare was going above and beyond for how pets may be.

@pdt-mindstream One per ship would be tolerable. Hopefully that’s what they have in mind. I agree about Salty. Really well done. You’re right that Rare deserves a degree of trust in this regard, so I guess we’ll see. 😊

I want a monkey holding a knife in its teeth.

I think chickens snakes and pigs should be offered as in game rather then paid content too. Give a free option

Obviously a parrot.

@lionstorm7871 2 year necro... but snake pets exist. last 1 session and can be killed. they come in 4 varieties. red, blue, black, and gold.

Please refrain from necroing posts. (Necroing is when you comment on a post that was made a long time ago, boosting it back into the recent posts) Before you comment just take a look at the date on the original commenter to see if it was made recently. This one was made 2 years ago so a mod will have to come and lock the thread now. It's not a problem, just be careful next time.
