If you could choose a magical pet, what would it be?

I refuse to believe capybaras aren't magical on their own.

You go ahead and do that.

The cool thing about big dragons is that if you need to hide from something, their mouth makes a good hiding spot.

It's also a great way to get yourself eaten.

That's why you get a pet dragon.

People have been eaten by their pets before.

It's not uncommon.

Dragons have varying levels of sentience.

Yes, you couldn't teach unintelligent ones to not eat you, and you couldn't keep an intelligent one as a pet, because it would grow to resent you keeping it in captivity.

Not all of them, I'd imagine.

Yes, I know. I was just messing with you.

I'd imagine a dragon that smokes cigars to be more on the intelligent side, as that seems a bit weird for an animalistic creature to do.

I'd have a dragon too, except I'd not have one as a pet but an equal. A red one. Huge, red and tough.

Gee, I wonder why it's red.

Nationalism. Probably not what most would think.

I was being sarcastic.

Of course I know why it'd be red.

You know, because Red Dragon = Wales and White Dragon = Saxony.

I'd like my dragon to be either red or purple.

Bahamut from Final Fantasy VII. Go big or go home, eh?

A whitish-blue for me.

That's a bubbly color, right?

A unicorn with healing powers. Duh.

You'll probably like the Stone Cutters, then. :)

Anyway, I'd like to have a Pegasus. :)

I'd go for a silver dragon, myself. or bronze or copper. Or... calico. yes, I want a calico shoulder dragon. ugh. that's it, in my next book there will be shoulder dragons that are patterned like cats.

Another thing I'd like in a pet dragon is the ability to put me in its mouth and spit me out in a sort of Fastball Special.

What surprises me is how almost everyone is sticking to the well known creatures and individuals, or creating mild variations thereof, when there are so many fascinating possible magical pets in folklore. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, just that it surprises me.

If the rest of you are having dragons, I'll have a Ichneumon. Of course, since Ichneumons kill dragons, this is going to put me in the awkward position usually reserved for cat owners whose beloved Mr. Paws has just nommed the neighbour's pet mouse... er, maybe having a Zaltys, Ramidreju or Hercinia would be safer for you guys' pets.

wait, I changed my mind, I want a Darking though they are more friends than pets. soooo useful.
