IRE Asks: What MMO Mob Would You Own as a Pet?
From the winged kitten-like furry black tengus of Achaea to the adorable tae'dae cubs of Lusternia, Iron Realms games have a huge variety of creatures both real and imagined. For a price in credits, players can even request a custom loyal pet that can be programmed to talk and emote at the owner's command. One player owned a pink gorilla wearing sunglasses!
The creatures in Iron Realms games are mostly based on mythology, or are completely unique to the realm they're in. So while some of you might want an apple-green puppy, like the ones Lady Eris, Goddess of Chaos bestowed to the House Sentinels, others might want a hulking morsulai for home security!
If you could have any of the magical and wonderful creatures found in Iron Realms games as a pet in real life, which would you choose? Tell us below!

I think I'd like a humgii. Useful little indestructable bugger to eat all my trash.
agreed!
But it would have to be in a well-ventilated area, those buggers are gassy.
A humgii would be awesome.

Using one of the most universally disliked pets as an example is such a good idea
Ummm...
Penwize. He's basically mob, right?

Am I the only one disturbed by this option?
Everyone knows
I want a mountable spider!
Let's have a trade.
You give me an Achaea tengu and I'll give you Lusternian mountable spiders from Glomdoring. I WANT THE TENGU SO BAD!

I am kind of partial to chatty pink flamingos. :)
Big fat yellow bird
Big fat yellow bird that talks
I am happy with my Chimera...
I never have to feed him, just summon him whenever I wanna fly or ride.... although a customised pet would be awesome indeed... I like the ones I have seen so far, like Katia's flying monkey... I saw Shirszae has an ant that she mounts... that would also make an awesome pet, except I would want something that flies.
used to like chimeras to,

Fellbeast.

Pet?
What about a winged tiger? I'd like that!
Desert chameleon
Desert chameleon.
Fire wyrm or something birdish
Maybe a pet... fire wyrm? I'd have to be careful not to leave it in the Nuskuwe, though. Or one of those mail-delivering birds so I wouldn't have to walk to the Post office anymore in order to send letters. Or one of those chubby penguins.
Bird
I would so buy a bird that could deliver letters, that would be a cool little artefact!
Indeed
Yep, it would be awesome for those with a stationery kit.
Have em..
In Aetolia...
nothing complicated
Pretty much all I'd want is a wyrden lyrebird. The one in the Harbinger's Hall is cool enough I keep desgning things based on him, so to have one tagging along with me would make me sqee all the time.

Templar Falcon
I'd love a falcon, especially if it was half as useful as the ones in game...
I'd want...
A black widow from the forests above the spider larder! Awesome!

There are tons of spiders! Just get one from the village...
Thought of a new one...a baby

I'd have to pick...
I'm going to go with a firebreathing tengu. That'd be GREAT.
Scratch that
Totally one of the mongoose from Zanzi. They're -adorable-. Also quite badass. I mean, it's a mongoose.
Serpents
Can my antitheft plan just be him eating every serpent?
I dunno. A wolf I guess?
I dunno. A wolf I guess? Something that wouldn't eat me would be good.
Dream bigger
Come now, Turnus. Surely you can do better than this? While admittedly awesome, that's like saying I want a pony, instead of a flying pegasus!
You won't think its so lame
You won't think its so lame when I sic the wolf to maul your face. And isn't a pony like, every girl's dream. We both know you want a pony.
You forgot the most important part...
With wings! No lame, plain ponies for me. I think I'd like it to change colour as well. And you -would- sic your wolf on me. You show love in the weirdest ways!
I already have mine.
A miniature monkey stands here, staring off into the distance, listlessly.
Soft fur covers the body of this tiny monkey. The hair on the torso and appendages is coloured as black as ebony, crossed by horizontal lines of white. The face is pure white, with black fur for the eyebrows and darkly hued lips. Two long arms sprout from the body and hang at his sides, fingers curling in tandem. He is called 'Recall.'
A miniature monkey is a humble-looking creature.
He weighs about 17 pounds.
He is loyal to Agrias.
You tell a miniature monkey, "Mimic."
A miniature monkey tells you, "Okay."
You cringe and drop your face into your palms with a shake of your head.
A miniature monkey cringes and drops his face into his palms with a shake of his head.
A miniature monkey says, "...bored now."
A monkey sprints in from the down, trips over an invisible rock, then stands upright with an embarrassed look on his face.
Looking around for his owner, a tiny monkey panics and launches forward, smashing into an invisible wall before stumbling out to the down.
Ohhhh
I like

An elven lass might work better...;)
A Wyrm Lord
course I'd have to keep him somewhere very fireproof
What would I choose.
Kind of a toss up for me but I think in the end I would take a falcon those things seem useful.
What I would choose
Without even thinking I want one of the talking cows that do math in Bopalopia.
Utterly wrong choice.

I would own a dachshund! Oh wait, no that's in real life. :)

I really like the pretty little dragonlets in Parthren Gare.
A crystal butterfly
The tinkling noise would be like windwhimes.
tae'dae
The tae'dae are offly cute I must edmit or maybe a cute little furrikin. Though mostly I like the golden otter in Eventru's godrealm.
ooo, I want...
I'll take an orc, please and thank you.
lycopod
A lycopod! And it will live on my front porch.
a pet all of my own ....

Moon bears..
Moon bears are so adorable and would love to get one eventually!
I would like
a lamassu.
Cat wearing hat from bopalopia
I'd get hours of fun from tickling it
Pegasus
A winged pegasus would be cool. It would also save alot on gas. Mountable spider is a terrible idea, I hate spiders, I certainly wouldn't want to park my arse on its nasty, hairy, backside.
I am with you.
What if that spider got hungry? You would be the first thing on the menu. Closest thing to be eaten.
Aggressive bush
Aetolia has these aggressive...what are they, Hawthorn bushes? Something in the forests that follow you around and usually kick my butt. I want one of those. Grumpy bushes...they are love.
Couatl
A pretty couatl, or a friggin Fell Beast, heh heh.

I would take an etheric leviathan. Anathema to the minds of mortal men, warping reality through its very existence, proximity slowly corrupting the physical constants of space and time. I think it would be low-maintenance.

If I had a Tainted character, I would go with a gravedigger. Those things would be pretty beastly "own." Goes especially well with a Gorgulu follower.

Draaaaagon
Is there any other pet?
Eww

Aww
But they're worth it....
I love the fact that there
I love the fact that there are guild pets for druids in Lusternia so I already have a crow.. but I normally like the cuter pets. Puppies, kittens, ducklings. But I also like to use feral wildcats in Imperian - I have a preference for female pets, especially ones that are more vicious than others. A snarling wolverine or something like that would be great.
Shaitan.
'Nuff said.
Moredhels :>
Moredhels :>
Meh
A Moredhel would probably complain all the time and talk about overthrowing me and stealing my power. :D
I'd like the red dragon as a pet though. Hmmmmm.
oh, what about the Wraith
oh, what about the Wraith then ?
Hrm..
I would follow you around and not complain or backstab you... for a price :)
free food + a nice comfy guild and skipping the 1st two ranks to gr3 along with a little pet from the next banapis and I'm sold! :)

I got my little pet and he is a fennec fox named Peheata! I want more like a penguin or another fennec fox.. A little army of cute baby animals would be nice :D
Grimlath!
I'd like Grimlath, the old and incredibly strong snow tiger as a pet. It's like having a private mark.

How about a skunk? That could be fun.
platapus

I wanna have Taug as a pet
At least it is possible for one day.

Ancient Sea Dragon
He'd be a great talking point at pool parties....so long as he didn't eat the guests. (cept for the ones I don't particularly care for)
mountable dragonfly
Would have to be giant of course :)
Either the fluffy jambaali,
Either the fluffy jambaali, humgii or the lightning eagles on Mero!

I'm tired of this bill collector - Absolve
I've been killed!! - Resurrect
Babysit my kid for me - Seek
Guard my house - Watch
Giant pet ladybird
