Craglorn Welwa is way too tiny.

It's smaller than a dog. The Senche-Tiger pets are a reasonable size, can you not alter size of the Welwa to make it bigger?

Said the guy who apparently still wanted a monster short enough to not nibble on his knees.
EDIT: Some size comparisons
Significantly smaller than a dog, bit bigger than a fennec fox.
A rat on steroids beside a Welwa in Craglorn.

It's tiny!
I was JUST about to make a thread about this. This is a disappointing welwa to be sure... just scale it to freckled guar size please and thanks.
Also yes it has animations, it scratches it's belly with its hind leg and it lays down while waiting, oh and it shakes its head.Edited by max_only on May 4, 2017 11:00PM#FiteForYourRite Bosmer = Stealth

It's a non combat pet so it's tiny and impotent .3 -

Thank you! I'm glad someone agrees with me on this. It's even smaller than a pig, I don't get why they made it so small, they never advertised it as being a cub or anything.
I doubt they'll ever fix the size of it, once something is in the store they'll never touch it again, I really hope with do though.Edited by Dayth on May 5, 2017 12:49AM0 -

Dayth✭✭✭Anyone got a screenshot of just how small it is?
Here's a comparison to some other pets:
Significantly smaller than a dog, bit bigger than a fennec fox.Maybe it's just a pup.
They make no mention of it being a pup in the description of the pet or in the Crown Store Showcase, they just made it super small.

Hmmmm. I was quite excited about it, considering not getting it now...5 -
Keldheir✭✭✭✭I wasn't being serious, actually. It's just what I would have tried to make me believe. I considered buying it at first because it's kind of grotesque looking and that's my thing. But I have no use for pets and then I luckily saw this post about the size. It's laughable.PC EU2 -

Quit laughing, man. I have a grotesque rat on steroids for a pet, this is serious business.Hmmmm. I was quite excited about it, considering not getting it now...
I was pretty excited when they announced it too, I was hoping they'd give us a welwa pet for a while but yeah...got a buff rat instead.

OlafdieWaldfee✭✭✭✭It is adorably ugly. I love it!
And it also has a "gnaws on a bone"-animation. And the "scratches its belly"-animation is great.
I don´t regret buying it at all.
Very cute. 2 -

Absolutely agree, lies down and everything. Plus I like the bulky feeling, I don't mind that it's not larger, it reminds me a little of a bulldog.Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time. ~ Terry Pratchett0 -

I agree with the animations being nice and all that but it's called a Craglorn Welwa, it's not supposed to be a bulldog. Here's an informative side-by-side comparison of an actual Welwa from Craglorn and the pet.

Have to agree. After hearing the animations described I had to buy it, and by gosh it's so cute! xD0 -

The animations are very nice. Also, no annoying sounds or repetitive movements either. Plus, the eyes blink. I'm a big fan of mounts and pets that actually blink.0 -

There could be a little more slobber when he's panting.
@Dayth
Great comparison to the real Welwa size, maybe we can get pet food to grow our pets ... 1 portion per day
I probably wouldn't want the real size but I'd agree a tad bigger would be nice.Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time. ~ Terry Pratchett2 -

So it is.Craglorn Welwa is way too tiny.
The developers -told- them not to wash them too hot, but did they listen? No, they were all "eugh, it stinks of orc feet" and plopped them right into the hot bath, where they shrank like a wool pullover. So there you have it. The secret behind the amazingly miniature welva.
On a more serious note...
...I always though the fact that we have welva in craglorn and not overrunning bangkorai as well might indicate that welva are usually not that big after all, but this is a special craglorn breed. Possibly even an unnaturally large one. As such I would not be all that bothered by a non-combat pet being much smaller...
Note on the sidelines - how about a "combat welva" skin for the upcoming wardens bear summons?1 -

If it was a baby it would be called Welwa cub or pup or something. Gonna use the Senche Panther as an example:

Even if the Craglorn breed was freakishly large for a Welwa, the pet is called Craglorn Welwa. I don't think think a Welwa would naturally stop growing to such a small size; assuming the Welwa in Craglorn are the same creatures the Aldmer encountered Welwas and they're tapestries show them as "strange, holy beasts of horns and savage teeth, depicted as ravagers and saviors of the land".
This Welwa pet could ravage your shins I suppose...Edited by Dayth on May 7, 2017 11:29PM1 -

It may not be as big as we expected. And I hope maybe we get a bigger version sometime. Or maybe even a mount. But darn it, I love my tiny Welwa. It's super adorable! c:0 -
