What vanity pet would you like to see in your favorite MMO?

"Everyday we take the Massive daily posts and bring them to Dragoon discussions. We would like to thank Massively for their original content."

Last week Turbine announced all sorts of huge updates for Dungeons and Dragons Online in 2012. Among exciting talk of expansions, Druids, and level cap increases, one little item may have slipped under some folks' radar. Vanity pets are coming to DDO in 2012 -- specifically, "fun and cute DnD critters," according to Executive Producer Fernando Paiz.

Justin and I chatted a bit about that on this week's Massively Speaking, and Justin put forth the awesome idea of a tiny Beholder pet. I loved the idea and it set me to thinking. Vanity pets in MMOs are such a frivolous little thing, yet they're such fun to so many people, and it seems like everyone has a wish list of "wouldn't it be cool if..." vanity pets.

So what's yours? Would you love a little Beholder in DDO? Would you love to see Fallen Earth offer a prairie chicken pet to go with your mount? Tell us what vanity pet you'd love to see trailing along behind your character!

My favourite vanity pet already exists and it's in... you guessed it, City of Heroes.

It's called a Freedom Corps Cathaphract (I like to call him Binky) and it's big and red and has a massive ion cannon on its back and two arm-mounted heavy machineguns.. It exists in the dangerous PVP area of Recluse's Victory as a protector pet you can claim and unleash on naughty villains. If only it came in "Vanity Pet" version too...



Say hello to my little friend, next to my little toon.
