Vanity Pets Anyone?

So I know that there are a few vanity pets already such as the mudcrab & scuttler. I'd like to see more of these pets. I personally would love a fox pup & a wolf pup as vanity pets to follow me around. Every other mmo I've played has them. What's every one else's thoughts on this?

    @RedMiniStapler‌, a baby one or full grown?

    I would love a senche-tiger... even just a miniature one... or one of those Siamese cats.

    I'd love a fully grown one as a pet for archers. A baby one too.

    Ok I can't currently find the source, but I read somewhere that guars will be worked in as mounts at some point.

    Replying to the OP, I definitely think vanity pets should be something to buy in-game. I like my scuttler but wouldn't mind switching it out with something that I can actually choose to have, not just something ZoS gave me for preordering. I appreciate it, but I would've preordered with or without it. Now I would like a choice.

    wha... who... when.... AH MAH GAH! I want a guar mount! I will even ditch my glorious white horse (with a bondage gear on it's ass) and hop on a guar and venture around tamriel.

    Given the option - I'd prefer to be able to reskin my crab as a fox or stoat, maybe a wolf.

    Not given the option to reskin, I'd just delete the crab and buy a fox, stoat or wolf.

    I had no idea what a stoat was but then I googled it

    And then I saw this

    I want this thing.

    I love animals, and always get along well with dogs, but they're stinky beggars who *** on the rug and eat out of the litter box. They also rely on a pack while the adorable cat is the perfect killer on its own. Plus, a lot of dog breeds are pretty ugly tbqh. So I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.

    What was bugged with your monkey? I wish I had played during beta cause I want one :-(. Hawks would be awesome, especially if there was one that could attack with you.

    I prefer dogs. Mainly because I swear my aunt's cat was plotting against me when I was there. I woke up one morning & he was hovering over my face staring at me like he had an idea or something. Plus they're too independent for me. I love having my dog run to the door when I come home acting like they haven't seen me in ages when it was just a few hours.

    OMG to be able to get a puppy of some breed & for those who love cats a kitten of some breed!!! We need more vanity pets ZOS!!!! Please & Thank You.

    If you delete a monkey item...while the monkey is active...the monkey is now a permanent companion...that makes monkey noises, and gives your stealthed position away in PvP

    I'd like to see Vanity Pets become a bit more than just vanity. A baby Guar that could be fed over time for storage slots, and grows from Baby to Full Grown Pack Guar during the process (maybe limit it to 20 slots/feeds). Monkeys/Scuttlers could be fed for other stats (ie.. Monkeys build increased Distraction, stealing focus and distracting merchants who subsequently mistakenly give you better deals).

    @oren74‌, Oh well that makes sense. Why didn't you just put it in the bank?

    @oren74‌, You could've put it on a mule alt. I se in your signature that you don't have any alts that you're actually lvling but you could make one to hold things you don't want to take up bank space like all those trophies from dungeons & such.
