Is the Banekin pet worth it?

I sorta like the Banekin but he's on the edge between ugly and cool looking...

    I find them annoying enough as opponents. They are ugly little things that are just as drama-queenly as the scamps, but not as cute... not that scamps are actually cute.

    I'm still waiting for a durzog pet ... or a mount for really small characters
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

    Why would other people's opinions decide your purchase for you?

    @Mr.Turtlesworth

    This is you 3th post about thing in crown store :) you do know you preview item in store before you buy and in all honest no one but yourself can decide if you like thing in store it dont matter what we here on forum think about thing in store for if you like it you buy and if you are unsure dont buy no one else can make up your mind about those item in store if the are good for you or not.

    Personally i buy thing that fit to my char i play with for example to my nord char i think what pet and mount fit to her and to her i have White Mane Horse and Windhelm Wolfhound for the fit to her background stroy when i rpg with her.

    I guess so... Idk I have such mixed feelings about it so I wanted other ppls opinions to see if my opinion would change because it is the same price as the panther and that's a cool vanity pet but it is overused and because of that I don't want it. I like the fact that not many people will buy the Banekin ( kinda like the pet cat. Barely anyone has one and I find it cool when people do. Also it meows. )

    I think it's ugly-interesting but mostly it reminds me of the Shad Astula Academy of Magic quest chain which was charming.

    Of course what everyone who enjoyed those three quests wishes they could have taken with them was Hadmar the Thin-Boned's totem that shot you into the air :p

    I don't like it. But that's just my opinion. The only thing that should matter is if you like it.

    I do have the panther and I love it. I agree it's very common, but I couldn't care less because I'm not looking for other people to stop and stare at my super-rare pet. I'm looking for me to periodically smile at the idea of having a pet panther. It makes me happy, everyone else's feelings are their problem.

    I have trained my Banekin to give me cheeseboards.

    Buy a Banekin, train it be your loyal retainer; cheeseboards, liquor, Flin - there's nothing the Banekin can't handle.

    Personally, I think ALL the pets are garbage.

    This is not because of how they look or sound or move. It is because ZOS has terrible pet code, and they don't follow you well. Unlike other games where they move faster when you do, riding a mount or running fast will cause them to lag behind until out of site, often getting so far behind they just never show up again until you dismiss and re-summon them.

    They also get stuck in the terrain ALL the time and have no code to teleport them to you once you get a certain distance from them.

    If they worked more like WoW pets I might use one.

    Existence is a waste of money.

    If we were all solar powered robots, we'd never need to waste money as we wouldn't eat or sleep - the average human being spends 80% of their life asleep.

    I'm currently on a waiting list so I can transfer my consciousness into a solar powered robot; I'm getting the firmware so I can decide whether or not I'm "bored" at will, this will allow me to get champion points very well and will allow me to survive long enough to see Imperial City released.

    I think for some each item has value...I think you're asking it it's worth the price....I'd say yes regardless of the pet

    Do you want a Banekin because you want a Banekin? Get it. The ugliness is part of what makes it cool looking.

    Do you want a Banekin because ZOS' advertising about National Pet Day broke you down and you feel compelled to buy a pet even though you are otherwise indecisive or undesiring of it? Don't get it.

    My girlfriend got one, but she has been wanting one since before the Crown Shop went up.
    Personally stick to using my original Pony Guar from the plush. ^--^

    Yes. Buy the pet. It's cool. You want to be cool too, right?
