I know alot of people are always asking for new pets, but instead maybe revisit some of the existing pets? there is alot of tamable pets in UO just a majority of them aren't worth while , prime example would be the dragon turtle, i think the dragon turtle should be on par with the triton.
All pets should have access to all skills without free healing cu and Triton wouldn't be as popular
The damage type and what magic abilities a pet can get is what matters.
Dragon Turtle Hatchling does 100% physical damage. Not desired.
The only high HP mob that is lower in Physical resist is Dreadhorn.
A Lesser Hiryu would be the best all around pet that does 100% physical damage.
They can get the useful magics and have plenty of building points.
They made most Eodon Pets do 100% Physical damage and not have the ability to get Chivalry.
They nerfed the Gallusaurus for some reason, they used to be 1 slot lower.
Dimetrosaur and Saurosaurus would be interesting with different damages and Chivalry.
Triceratops can gain Healing. That would be a bulky beast with different damages and Chivalry.
The cats would be nice with different damages and Chivalry. You run out of places to put points when you build Tigers. Sabre-tooth can gain natural healing.
Consume eliminates the need for a pet to have healing. But, the popular 2 pet types that have healing can get Chivalry and do not do 100% physical damage.
Reptalon would be a underutilized pet, they can get the good magics and have a high intensity build. Tame a 2 slot one. They have 75% Energy 25% poison.
I have probably made a guide on Stratics for any other underused pet you want to build.
another one id love to see revisted is the stygian Drake, i love how they look in EC, but again only comes in 4 slot they just not worth it, if they came in 3 slot they be well worth the effort, and make it so their damage is type is based on their color.
I use a Poison Breath/AI/Chiv Triton on Scalis. The healing comes in handy, other pets are lying on the ground and he is still biting.
I pretend they come from the Sea, so I use Tritons on the Sea Bosses.
Slasher wipes out all our pets and people. Just as Stygian Dragon does.
Magincia event? It was such a bummer.. was real disapointed by this event back in the days (one of the very few weak one).. on paper it was HUGE (specially for factions) in fact u were just running around city grabbing rubble 🙁
PS: I had no idea about the red imp.
I would like to see unicorn/kirins revisited as well as frenzied ostards. I love the dorky frenzied ostard attack noises.
