Mythological Animals You Would Want As A Pet, Go!

[nathanKmcwilliams]

An Ōmukade would also be pretty dope. A giant centipede that I could sic on my enemies? Yes...they would all fear me then. ᕙ(＠°▽°＠)ᕗ

I'd also have it form a living fence around my house, using it's back plates to block out my neighbors. If anyone tried to climb it and break in, they'd fall into the legs and boom, food for my pet. Good Leggy. Yes. His name is Leggy.

[gempompadour]

Lmao! He's the best. He can talk, loves to laugh, and hates bullies so much he'll help you get some sweet revenge. That cute boi just needs to grow some more fur. Or get a wig.

[Callirai]

Lol! Totally!!! But yea, the scales don't look too appealing. Even if his scales were more like snake scales, that would be better...lol

Ooooh this looks like a fun thread. I'd have to say a wolpertinger, definitely. The creature the mask I wear is based on

They are an unholy amalgamation of several woodland critters, but most frequently things like rabbits and birds. They're horny little fellas (pun intended) and supposedly the only way to catch one is to lure one out of the woods with an attractive woman.

Other than that, Wyverns for sure. I love Wyverns, they are so fun to draw. Call me crazy but I prefer them to dragons.

[Random_Guy]

I also prefer wyverns.
I just think they're cooler than dragons.
More interesting too.

[Kiweevil]

Humor me, because I've been trying to figure it out myself. Would a reptile with four wings and two legs be a dragon or wyvern?

[Random_Guy]

I'd call it a wyvern.
The key difference between a dragon and a wyvern is the legs.
So two legs but four wings is a four-winged wyvern.
Does that make sense?

[nathanKmcwilliams]

There's also Wurms. Subterranean Dragon relatives with no wings or legs at all.

[Random_Guy]

ahem

Please refer to this handy chart. [image] Personally my favorite's the wyvern.

[IdiotWithPencil]

Hate to get cryptozoologist on you but those arnt a sub species of dragons x3 tho! They would be very honored if you called them such!

I think they are recent (like 10 years recent) though if not dragons then what are they and what differentiates them from dragons?

[otterlyhuman]

Centaur for sure. Noble steed. Wise friend. Occasional pack mule.

[Chita]

I see there are many people of culture here . I'd definitely have a dragon pet, though I would love if it was a small sized one, like kitten size. It would be adorable!
(Though if it could shapeshift into a giant steed it would be just perfect)

[IdiotWithPencil]

small sized one, like kitten size. It would be adorable!

here ya go then

smoll dragon is smoll

[LJ2]

Omg me too!! i was about to write that lol

[PapaDom]

Having a dragon would be so cool, to be honest (classical, four legs, two wings).
I have also developed an interest in Chinese/Japanese dragons.

[TAMAnnoying]

I guess the problem is defining how far you are willing to stretch for your subspecies. They're not true dragons. It's a taxonomic thing. They have the dragon subtype like drakes do but different Fantasy worlds will determine that to be correct or incorrect. Like how an electric eel is not actually an eel. Or how daddy long-legs aren't actually spiders, alligators aren't lizards.

Taking fantasy worlds like D&D for example. Faerie dragons are biologically similar to dragons, but otherwise lack a lot of the universal traits shared among chromatic and metallic dragons. They would more be defined under fairy folk, and from what I can tell this way of thinking is more agreed on. However im sure you can find some fantasy worlds where this might not be the case and the subtype tag line isn't actually a tag line but a relative that just has strange biological difference.

[puddle]

seconding tsuchinoko... if not, a deerfox would be ideal too!

[Random_Guy]

Ooh, love the deerfox.

And finally someone else sees the beauty of the chonky snek!

^^I made that^^

[Darth_Biomech]

I'd probably go for a phoenix. A pet that won't die before you do.

Also a friendly reminder to all those who want a dragon: half of them are sapient, and owning a person as a pet is worse than slavery (and for half of that half, the pet would likely be you).

So this girl used to give me rides to university. Kept taking about leashes and harnesses, collars and cages. Wanted to know how me felt about them. Me replied that me was more of a cat person and it sounded exhausting to take care of a larger, dumber animal.

Ten years later and me finally realized what she was talking about.
