  • Werewolf, though I wouldn't want one as "a pet" though. 😁

    Dragons are cool and if I lived alone (which I don't at the moment 😊) then I definitely want a Mogwai as a pet. Seems pretty easy to care for, as long I as get rid of the sinks, tubs and toilets. Lol πŸ˜†

    And no longer consume any liquids of any kind. πŸ˜†πŸ˜†πŸ˜†

  • @Katota Don't forget to hide the food after midnight ...

  • @GuyverGordon Lol! Oh you're correct...See, I am definitely a goner as a pet owner of a Mogwai.πŸ˜†πŸ˜†πŸ˜†

    On second thought, I think I will stick with dragons instead. Lol

    πŸ˜†πŸ‘

  • But they're so gosh darn cute those Mogwais!πŸ₯°πŸ˜

  • @Katota Well you would just have a different pet at that point πŸ˜…

  • @GuyverGordon Very true! πŸ˜ƒ

  • Alebrijes! For the win ❀️

  • My pet dragon.

  • I'd be happy with a jhereg

    (yeah, some of you will now have to Google Steven Brust B) )

  • Ooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh I finally decided. (Well my favorite for today that isπŸ’—)

    Graceling Series

    by Kristen Cashore

    This is where Fire lives. With a wild, irresistible appearance and hair the color of flame, Fire is the last remaining human monster. Equally hated and adored, she had the unique ability to control minds, but she guards her power, unwilling to steal the secrets of innocent people. Especially when she has so many of her own.

    One thing I love about books (SPECIFICALLY OLD SCHOOL PRINT VERSIONS) is the touching of the page whilst reading. I know its not the everyone learns best or IMAGINES, but for me, touching the page and the ink and the cover, creates a very different feeling.

    Mythical creatures brought about by the words of the author can look like a million different things to different people. I love that. I think each time I have read this series, the characters take on a different look even. Hmmmm. I'll have to think about that!

    I would so want a jackelope. Or a Thor just so I could be as big an asshole as I want to be and he would destroy anyone who would try to not allow it. Plus I know my good buddy @Sideon would love me forever if I let him pet sit a Thor

  • I already have a Himalayan fur goblin, which is a mind-altering parasite that brainwashes people into thinking they adopted it as a pet. It's said to be one of the deadliest animals on the planet.

    Actually I’d always wished a house elf to keep mine clean.

    Then I was thinking something that could teleport me. I would visit friends everywhere. I know them as well as people from this site.

    Then it struck me. When I used to be on games, I would use the name Dragonbear.

    Oh @Sheena123 ! Your Precious Boys!!! A-MEN!!! :)

    I'm delighted to find so many fellow DRAGON ENTHUSIASTS!!! I would LOVE to have a baby dragon to raise, encourage, teach, and watch grow into full DRAGON-HOOD!!

    This is a fun thread... Thanks! lol

  • Can you imagine a pet pegasus dropping it's enormous loads of poop onto cars. Lot worse than a bird.

    On second thought, I would definitely like Knuckles The Echidna as a pet...Of course I would never EVER TELL HIM that he's a pet! 🀫😊

    Unless I no longer valued my house, or even my life of course...Lol! 😊

    I can see the pros of Knuckles living here with us, as well as the cons. We'll all get plenty of exercise πŸƒπŸ€ΎπŸ€Έ and meditation time 🧘 with Knuckles, which isn't a bad thing. 😁

    My son will at least have solid male role model to look up (or rather down😜) to, as long as I keep the fact of Knuckles being a "warrior first, and a rooommate second" in the fore font of my mind...We'll all be fine! πŸ˜πŸ‘

    Plus feeding him is quite simple, he totally digs on grapes πŸ‡ and Cool Ranch Doritos! πŸ˜‹

  • Unicorn!!!

  • A dragon 😈 duhhHHHHhhh

  • @SunsetSnuggles That is the most adorable jackalope picture I have ever seen 🀩


  • This scene is hilarious, even if he didn't fully except his "grounding with honor".πŸ˜πŸ˜†

  • Well I was obviously meant to be a dragon rider

  • Like dragons but agree with another post that that would be like a partner more than a pet… but as a boy I was always partial to the idea of adopting a swarm of fire lizards from Pern.

  • Warning...unnecessary Jackalope overdose, incoming...

    @GuyverGordon
    I knowww...I was initially looking for the postcard I had as a kid, but I couldn't resist that precious baby.

    But bonus, here's the exact postcard I used to have, from the 90's...

    The photo has been around since at least 1964...the same taxidermed rabbit, on slightly different backgrounds, with the same verbiage...

    "Often called the Antelabbit, this, the most amazing of all desert animals, is reputed to be a cross between a jackrabbit and an antelope. Rumor has it that the Jackalope sings at night in a voice that sounds almost human."

    Check out this charming vintage note on one of them that's for sale on Ebay...

    "Just look what you're missing ... We took a picture of one, but forgot to remove the lens cap."

    🀭😜

    The company that bought the original photographer's postcard rights was still selling 38,000 of his Jackalope cards a year, in 2005.

    You can still find more modern iterations of it for sale in souvenir shops, in 2025...

    So cheers to the little Jackalope that could...still going strong, over 60 years later!

    This concludes my Ted Talk. Thank you. 😝
