This is a video I made showing a bug that happened over a year and a half ago. It shows a unique perspective on this beautiful game, and I hope you enjoy it! :)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYR8UlEIfm4
This was only a visual bug. Only you could see yourself as a pet, other players would see you as your normal character, and it gave no advantages of course.

Edit: Slight change to the title to be more in line with what the video is about :)

    Best bug ever. I wish we could play as an animal. I always wanted to be a deer, a doe (a female deer).

    Especially it would be fun to have a few animal skills and other players could attack and kill you (and the other way around). Of course player animals would be not stronger then the mob it represents.

    "I am a nightblade. Blending the disciplines of the stealthy agent and subtle wizard, I move unseen and undetected, foil locks and traps, and teleport to safety when threatened, or strike like a viper from ambush. The College of Illusion hides me and fuddles or pacifies my opponents. The College of Mysticism detects my object, reflects and dispels enemy spells, and makes good my escape. The key to a nightblade's success is avoidance, by spell or by stealth; with these skills, all things are possible."

    What's the matter. Afraid of being killed by a player rabbit?

    I think it would be cook to be able to transform into animals, instead of mounts. So instead of riding a horse to your location you transform into an animal that travels fast.

    I suggested a werewolf "mount" a while ago. Werewolf players would shift to werewolf when summoning the mount and change back when dismounting. This would be a cosmetic thing, couldn't fight while "mounted". Maybe Vamps could become a swarm of bats or a giant bat for the similar "mount" effect.

    And yes I remember your suggestion for using our werewolf forms as a mount, that would be pretty cool!

    Yes, it should be done in prime hours for chance of running into other mice. I did it at launch and it was plenty around :)

    its another quest there you play an monkey but for an shorter time just to get past some obstacles.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    Living as a crab is hell in this game.
    History, like a human being, is thirsty when it wakes from its slumber…History wants to drink up an enormous amount of blood. And even if history has tired of drinking blood, that’s only in regards to the amount. But what about quality? The larger the sacrifice is, the more delighted the cruel gods will be.

    I one of the Dragonage games you had to change into various forms including a mouse (to go through mouse holes) to solve a puzzle quest.

    Would be nice if ESO had a few quests like that.
