    what free pet?

    It's okay, free is free but I can see why it was
    I don't like it very much to be honest, but I met several people who did, and it's free, obviously I'm happy to have it in my collection. The appearance is a bit strange, I can't particularly fit it into The Elder Scrolls universe, but it's there now.

    Regardless of what your opinion is about the looks of it, ZOS gave everyone a free pet that literally only involves a few clicks to get, nobody should be upset about something they got for free, and absolutely nobody should complain, as there is no reason to do so.

    If you like the pet, enjoy using it. If you don't like it, it won't bother you in your collection. Cheers

    Honestly...it's not that I don't like the free snake (in particular the "free" bit), but it does seem to clash visually with the rest of the ES setting. Unlike many if not most of the other pets available.

    To be sure, I have not yet made it to Clockwork City, so perhaps the snake fits in there. Everywhere else, however, one is tempted to ask whether Sheogorath's latest scheme is to introduce LEGO's into the world...

    The promo images look cool... but the PC pet just looks like a bunch or bright orange dots on a dull grey body.

    It's ugly, not going to bother using it
    Very positive: it's free! Who doesn't like free stuff? Good job ZoS, we the players are quite pleased with these little gifts.

    Positive: it's a snake. It's one of the coolest pets out there in my opinion. I can see many people using it instead of the other free pets.

    Negative: it's a robot. I'm no fan of robots/dwemer/fabricants.

    Very negative: the textures. Seriously. When I first previewed it on the CS I couldn't believe my eyes. I had to close it and open it again, maybe it had failed to load properly. But no. It is just like that. The colors are extremely blocky, so much that it looks like the dev responsible for it used Photoshop's bucket tool to plop solid gray, solid yellow, and solid orange on it and call it a job done (but at the very least they stayed within the lines). It's meant to be made of 'brass'. I don't see any brass on it. I see solid gray that looks like plastic, solid orange that looks like braided cloth cut straight from an inmate's outfit, and some solid leathery yellow for the wings. I suspect the console versions are exactly the same, except with a different hue given to the blocks.

    Also, the wings. The fact that they had to add the blocky joints makes them clip through themselves all over the place. Huge ungainly cylinders on something whose motion and dynamic is so delicate was a very, very bad idea. I really don't understand what they were thinking. The only reason I can imagine for this fellow to exist as it is it's because it was a rookie dev's first project and they decided to keep it anyway. But since it was far below the other pets' standards, they just gave it away for free.

    Showed it to my son today. We both agreed it looks as if it was made by an apprentice designer. (My apologies to whomever created this)

    Personally, I'd prefer the wings modelled a bit differently - perhaps with tiny metal feathers like Bubo the clockwork owl from Clash of the Titans. ;) As they are now, they look like they were added as an afterthought.

    But that's really just a minor thing. Other than that, it's awesome. Especially when flying. So smooth.

    It's awesome and free. I'm so happy when PS4 players got blue one, because blue is so beautiful color to it.

    It's kinda cool, and they decided to just give it to us. It may not be for everyone, but don't be disrespectful of a free gift.

    Would be nicer if it were shared across accounts. My partner has our PS+ on her account and I can't afford to do even a month sub because of a tight budget. She doesn't play ESO, I'm on almost everyday. I even just treated myself to a one month sub for ESO plus for the first time (besides the free trial they did recently) for my birthday. I'm rather disappointed that NOT all players can actually get this pet.

    So...how does account sharing on PS+ work? Couldn't you both access the free pet?

    For me to get the pet, I'd have to have a separate sub for PS+, but base games can be shared from the main account (my partners with the plus) to other user accounts (I think up to 4), which, don't get me wrong, is awesome, but there hasn't been any need for me to get PS+ for my own account. Honestly, I personally like the brassilisk so much, I would do a month sub if I weren't on such a tight budget right now, it would be worth the 10 bucks to me.

    I did try, but I'm not eligible. :/

    I just got it cause it was something free other than that it going to get tonnes of dust on it as it will probably serve no fuction but as a dust magnet.

    On the one hand it's free, i love that peticular critter from hew's bane and i also love clock work machienes but on the other hand i really wish we could pick the colour and don't know but i think both model and texture seems subpar compared to other clock work robots?
    It's free so i don't want to complain but something just seems off with it.
