Honey Badger or a Wolverine.

"Honey Badger don't give a s**t. It just takes what it wants." LOLZ! In all honesty, though, it's a hard choice for me between a Flying Fox and a Cheetah.

A zombie

Now there's an original pet! :lol:

There are so many zombies in need of a loving owner to choose from! They need somebody to feed them brains and wash them every day so that they don't stink like the dead. :chin:

True that. There even is a book on the subject called "The Proper Care and Feeding of Zombies: A Completely Scientific Guide to the Lives of the Undead" by Mac Montandon

Why a human zombie, tho? Necromancy just adds a whole new dimension to potential pets.

Because I like human zombies better than I do humans.

Can't argue that! :lol:

I hear they can be a bit bitey though.

An alicorn or maybe a griffin. It would be cool to have a flying pet I could ride on, even though I'd be worried about handling the height and motion.

It doesn't seem right to have a fantasy creature that's part human or human-like for a pet, like a centaur or a fairy. A friend, maybe, but not an actual pet.

I'd like numerous kinds... large cat of some kind comes to mind first but an elephant would be awesome too.

A basset hound. Failing that, a bloodhound.
I need to become a worthless food-slave again. Anything is better than the neglect and loneliness I put up with.

I'd like a pet Om Nom because Om Nom is the ultimate Sweet Pea.

I still dont know what a Sweet Pea actually is.

A Sweet Pea can be a pea-like character or a very sweet person.

If it can truly be anything, I wouldn't mind some Pokemon.

Turtwig, Squirtle, Tirtouga, Shuckle, Poliwag, Eevee, Dunsparce....

I like Growlithe and Torkoal, but I'm a little skeptical about pet fire types!

Someone posted on Facebook at one point whether anyone would rather have pony Fluttershy as a pet or human Fluttershy as a girlfriend and I took major issue with that. Particularly having pony Fluttershy as a pet on account of her being a sentient individual who can think for herself and who I essentially just view as a human who just happens to be in a different form. As far as I'm concerned, having pony Fluttershy as a pet is an insult to her individuality.

I take issue with the idea of keeping sentient beings as pets too. For the same reasons that those commercials where people eat sentient food, or sentient food eats other sentient food deeply disturb me.

My rescue cat is not a pet; she is my roommate. It would be nice to have a better world but we can only try to help.

IKR? Like those Cinnamon Toast Crunch commercials where the squares are trying to eat each other. I never got what anyone found funny about them essentially being cannibals.

A pegasus. I had an imaginary friend when I was a small child that was a pegasus, we used to fly around and have adventures together--I could go for some flying adventures as a grown up.
