What kind of pet do you really need?

My own yearnings:

Stalker Fish:
It likes to go off and fetch bits of scrap metal for me.

Crashfish:
When released it charges off into the face of the nearest hostile (it's better not name your pet crashfish)

Precursor Robo-crab:
Most of the time it just scrabbles around inside my Cyclops. But I release it when I need to shake off some annoying Lava Larvae.
When travelling in the Seamoth or PRAWN it likes to walk round on the outside the canopy.

    Don't need one. Pet is just another word for Protein.

    A regular old cat to prowl about my base.

    We can let you have a catfish to flop about on the deck. How does that sound?

    I'd like to save the Mother Leviathan. Tow her back to base, so shes free. She kindly attacks Leviathans, while I get resources in the guarded areas.

    I looked up "waterdog" to post a picture and urban dictionary came up with something unexpected :worried:

    What about a Water Bear? I'm sure there are a ton of them on the Aurora, as they are nearly unkillable, and are for sale in the cafeteria.

    Actually, a dog- sized tardigrade would be pretty cool.

    This is already in the game. My stalkers bring me TONS of scrap metal. It's quite awesome really. :)

    I'd happily drown in their pool, and they can do whatever they want with the remains.

    Actually, a dog- sized tardigrade would be pretty cool.

    From the Wikipedia entry https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tardigrade
    "Pressure – they can withstand the extremely low pressure of a vacuum and also very high pressures, more than 1,200 times atmospheric pressure. Tardigrades can survive the vacuum of open space and solar radiation combined for at least 10 days. Some species can also withstand pressure of 6,000 atmospheres, which is nearly six times the pressure of water in the deepest ocean trench, the Mariana trench.["

    @kingkuma you're a star - I've always wanted to get my hands on a microscope to look for these guys.

    But in the real-wold (i.e. Subnautica) at least one Tardigrade should be present - but at least twice as long a the Cyclops I'd say!

    I'm also a huge fan of its relative, the Velvet Worm. These guys are like little plush-toy centipedes with cones for legs. Not bitey, but they hunt by spewing out glue over other bugs. Maybe some cow-sized ones for the Island Biome?

    OH yeah, velvet worms. Man, those things are cool with their mucus guns.

    Just quote someone with a "spoiler" BBCode in their post to see it. It's exactly as you expect btw :D Also the spoilers are hiding behind the sixth icon from the left in a pulldown menu
    WTF YO I COULD'VE DONE THIS


    HAHAHA, or not... So the spoiler tag completely ignores the code box and to add insult to injury, the code box is an unreadable mess \o/

    Ok, let's go through the list of female - esque sea creatures and If they want to kill you or not.

    Mermaids - 1/2 fish - Hostile
    Nereids (Sea nymphs) - Human - Hostile
    Sirens - 1/2 bird - Hostile
    Selkies - 1/2 seal - Hostile if angered
    Harpies (NO, phantom, put that photo back) - 1/2 bird - hostile
    Squid Girls -(they're a thing, I think) - 1/2 squid - hostile, (don't ask for elaboration)
    That warper girl I drew - 1/2 warper - Probably hostile
    i30yitp09d27.jpg
    Conclusion: If you see a woman without any clothes on in the ocrean, SWIM LIKE HELL.

  • sayerulzsayerulz oregon Join Date: 2015-04-15 Member: 203493Members
    Most of those things... at least to the admittedly rather limited extent to which I know anything at all about them, are only hostile, some or... most, of the time, to be fair.

    Also I'm pretty sure squid girls are only a thing in anime, and anime turns freaking tanks into girls, so basically anything in the goddamed universe that you can think of, and at least half the things you can't, have a scantily clad anime anthromorphization.

    Anyway, as with all dangerous creatures, someone says "You can't approach mermaids without being killed!" I say "Challenge accepted."

    Finally, we all know the pet we really need:

    Enjoys Being released, as well as hunting down people who owe you their soul.
