also, perhaps the OP should be a list of all the known ones currently available so we don't suggest something already in the game. maybe spoiler tag it though

Maybe you could do baby versions of enemies? You could say they’re too young to hurt you/ won’t attack you because they think you’re their parent.
potent saffron
Maybe you could do baby versions of enemies? You could say they’re too young to ...
Abuducution be like
royal marten
Abduction is an ugly word. I prefer the term “surprise adoption”.
fading cargo
You can totally have a crazy pet, if they're acclimated to humans when they're young.
solemn rose
now I kinda want to make a Krusty Krab dungeon where you have to pay like 500 coins for a krabby patty or something
elfin dagger
But crabs aren’t real, what would it even look like?
Like a Clutchclaw...?
But those are obviously lobsters, not "crabs".
boreal hill
How this dragon? 😏 , or Hot Valkyrie Lady? (they are a refenced from a mobile game called Dragaila Lost.)
celest sequoia
i think it would be fine because it's really just the player trolling themselves if they use it lol. same if small key pet
digital flint
i think it would be fine because it's really just the player trolling themselves...
though to people who aren't as familiar with games as we are, that could be misleading
celest sequoia
just don't use the pet
slim egret
imo don't put a pet in the game you expect people not to use
Thomas was on a stream the other night talking about pets, and said they avoided giving them idle animations because they're not supposed to confuse or distract players. you can say "don't use a pet if it's distracting" but whether it's distracting or not is based on how it's implemented.
I think that's something important to consider when making pet suggestions in general!
hot wave
Ok but Mr. Toprat is always the cutest thing on screen and demands attention
slim egret
Ok but Mr. Toprat is always the cutest thing on screen and demands attention
so true
digital flint
just don't use the pet
I mean how to people who don't know videogames well, they might think the fairy is a real fairy they can use
they can be mislead into thinking the pet fairy gives you an extra life at the beginning of the level
slim egret
oh that's a good point
digital flint
"oh cool a new pet. Wait it's a fairy?? Does that mean I always get an extra life?"
digital flint
it might be misleading, and to people who don't know games well enough, they could think the game is bugged or something
slim egret
it's not even about general game knowledge. it would be a cool idea to have a starting fairy and I could see people trying that out and being disappointed if it doesn't work that way
celest sequoia
shiv has lucky rabbit feet so he must get better odds at lucky minigame
so we should remove shiv
slim egret
I don't think you're taking this criticism seriously
digital flint
so we should remove shiv
you know it's not the same
celest sequoia
are you saying I'm stupid for thinking shiv is luckier?
slim egret
no you're just being disingenuous
celest sequoia
i got all my rings using shiv
slim egret
fairies have a mechanical purpose that is clearly communicated to players
celest sequoia
and we have the lucky ring so luck exists
slim egret
there's a reason you put that idea in shivposts originally and you know it.
digital flint
shiv doesn't inherently imply you're lucky
a fairy that looks exactly the same as an in-game collectible does
celest sequoia
because the idea of key items as pets seemed funny, then i kinda wanted it for real
slim egret
that's fine. I agree it would be funny, but a novelty kind of funny (at the expense of certain players) that I don't think is worth including in the game.
celest sequoia
all it needs is a line about not actually reviving you in the pet text
slim egret
actually yeah that wouldn't be so bad
but then if I want to use that pet I'd also like another way to check if I have a real fairy so I'd say it depends on whether normal fairies and keys can be shown in the HUD or inventory
celest sequoia
"trainee fairy: hasn't figured out healing magic yet; consider them morale support"
slim egret
ok see that's cute. I'd even like if it had alternate color palettes
celest sequoia
small key: they're actually lanze's house keys. this way he won't lose them.
slim egret
Secrets of Grindea has enemies you can catch and use as pets, and the ability to change their color scheme so you don't confuse them with the real enemies
slim egret

plays as Javelyn
time for a little breaking and entering 😏
celest sequoia
i felt "your" house keys or "the hero's" would sound wierd =p
maybe they could be the Quest Master;s keys (DONT LOSE THEM)
slim egret

gaunt drum
Penguin
royal marten
