idea for wolvden: pet rats! 🐀

Posted 2023-10-13 06:53:28
I absolutely LOVE these ideas!
I wouldn't mind ravens and they would make more sense, but I need to say I myself would like to see rats in the game as pets/companions.
I mean, wolves are one of my most favourite animals and I love this game! But I also have four male rats at home named Freddy, Manni, Okami and Dragonfly, and I absolutley love them.
I love rodents in general, but especially rats and you can probably imagine how a person like me would freak out if rats were added to the game 😅
I know a bit about rat genetics (typicall basics) and I agree, there are many variants. I won't explain rat genetic now to everyone here, but in the wild, there are actually just agouti rats. Okay, mutations can appear,  but the most genes are recessive. To be specific, of many fur colours, only Agouti and Pearl are dominant, which means in the wild, they were really less likely to be often, except two animals are both carriers. But there are also other dominant genes when we would talk about Shades or other stuff.
But hey, who cares anyways? Like Trahana mentioned, we have rainbow wolves! Why not unrealistic rats? I also wouldn't mind rainbow ravens, why not!

It sounds cruel, but I always like that "nothing will last forever" thing when it's about games. Of course it's sad when a wolf passes away, but I still like the feature. If rats/ravens/whatever were added, I would like them to be able to die, except they were immortalized if this was an opportunity.
Since rats/whatever also wouldn't eat the same as wolves, I wouldn't mind them to be hungry at all.
Just imagine you could socialize your little companions or something!
And besides endless cuteness, it would be a super cool addition to the game in my opinion!
So yeah, definetely support. Big support. VERY big support!

Great idea! I see rats and ravens being suggested and both would be interesting. I agree rats are more customizable but the dynamic between wolves and ravens in real life is also a unique symbiosis it would be fun to play with. Good proposal on how this could influence the WD economy as well!

As someone who has a huge ick factor for insects, I support! Regardless if it's rats or some other animal, but if a feature like this is implemented I DONT want bugs, please no, leave those creepy crawlies on lioden please! But a pet rat? Sign me up!

I 100% SUPPORT this!
I think it would be awesome to have little pet rats with your wolves!
you could even add on to the poses thing such as-
laying at the wolfs paws
on the wolfs back
sleeping next to them (or on them)
you could also add them based on wolf poses! for examples

motherly:The rat is happily curled up next to your wolf
relaxed:The rat is standing (all fours or back legs) on your wolfs back or next to them+They could also be laying at your wolfs paws
sentinal:Your furry pet is sitting on the back of your wolf or standing with its spine arched a bit like a cat!
normal:standing on their back,at their paws, or even sleeping!

you could also add in poses for when the wolf is different ages
Another idea,it could be mice and rats,I also like the idea of birds because my pack is very bird companiony.
again,love the idea ^^

I love the idea of pets, but I'm not sure if rats are the correct options. Birds would be better imo, maybe not ravens, but something else could be nice. I like the idea of being able to send a companion to forage for item c:
