What pet would you like? A beastmaster survey!

Howdy!

After talking to the development team, it seems like they are down to add a familiar from the below list to go along with the level cap increase to 99. (This is separate from the pets they are already planning to add!)

We’d like to hear from all of you which one you’d like to see implemented

• Chloris (Mandragora)
  
• Colibri
  
• Orapodium (Mandragora)
  
• Hippogryph
  
• Chigoe
  
• Karkinos (Crab)
  
• Scolopendrid (Scorpion)
  
• Toad
  
• Red crab
  
• Orobon
  
• Hecteyes
  
• Pachypodium (Mandragora)
  
• Scorpion
  
• Crawler
  
• Funguar (Different color)
  
• Rafflesia
  
• Slime
  
• Karakul
  
• Black antlion
  
• Hanuman (Opo-opo)
  
• Black beetle
  
• Ruszor

In regards to monsters not listed above, there are many which would take a bit of time to implement, so it seems difficult to get them in right away.

For example, large monsters rumble the ground when they walk, so there would be a need to address those kinds of things.

Since of course Behemoth and the four gods are quite popular, as we mentioned in the job concepts briefly, we would like to look into implementing these as a special type of pet similar to the avatars Odin/Alexander.

Also, similar to Flans, the back story is pretty complicated (※) so we would need to make adjustments to make it fit the story.

Make the HQ familiars NMs or have different graphics.

If you are good with that we will look into it, but are you okay with not adding brand-new familiars?

Would like smaller size pets of large monsters.

We would like to do this.

Add jugs that call a random pet each time.

We tried looking into revamping the system, but since the amount of work is on par with completely reworking the Call Beast system, making this happen seems to be quite difficult. It’s something we would like to do, but we apologize we can’t do this!

Add pets that can only be called while equipping Guttler.

I like this idea and believe we can do it, so we will look into it!

Peiste
Gnats
Chigoes
Apkallu
and a Gnole

Man, out of all those listed I'd say these are the ones I'd like:

Scorpion
Slime
Chigoe
Ruszor
Orobon

To be honest, I don't know much about the ruszors and orobons as far as their abilities go. I haven't fought them much in game. They just look cool to me. The slime jug is something I've wanted for a long long time though, and way back in the day when I was lvling in CN and charmed one of those doom scorpions I always thought I was teh sh*t. I also agree with Deo that a peiste would be really cool. Either that or a wyvern.

Please no more funguars, mandies, or any other repeat of jugs already made! If you need to do a repeat make another CourierCarrie, except maybe make him a boy and name him CourierCharlie or something lol.

I'd like it if there were just things to charm again. Anyone even remember that ability? ; ;

[Sod]

What is this charm you speak of? Sounds cool... Is THAT why I have all this chr gear eating up space in my MH? I had forgotten why I had it.

[wigglestyx]

Hippogryph or Gnat, Dipper 2.0 for 99 would be nice.

[Goldengreg]

Yeah, and we won Scorpion, yay

The jp forum has hyppo on the lead though, so I hope they'll add it anyway. Would love to have pets we're actually not allowed to charm.

Toad!
