Hobbes Definitely Has The Look

“Dear BRK, what is the BRK take on raptors as they have the same dps as cats and ravagers, now have the dash ability, their armor is a little higher than the cats but not as high as the ravager, and hp is a little lower than the cats but not as low as the ravager. Arlein and Whitey.”

Hunters choose a pet for one of three reasons:

1) They want specific stats or effects, we call these Stat Pets

2) They want a specific rare or special animal, we call these Status Pets

3) They want something other people don’t choose, we call these The-Look Pets

Stat Pets are Cats, Ravagers, Bears, Boars, Owls, Carrion Birds, or any other pet that has a specific high stat (DPS, health, etc.) or spell (Dash, Gore, Screech, etc.)

Status Pets are the rare/special animals like Siam Rotam, Zul’Gurub Serpents, or any other rare, hard to get, or one-of-a-kind pet.

The-Look Pets are chosen because the hunter wants something you don’t see every day. Crocs, Gorillas, and Tallstriders fall here. How often do you see a level 70 pink flamingo? Not recently, we’ll bet. Any real reason to train one? Nope. Will BRK put a screenshot of one up here if he runs across one? We sure will; they’re cool!

Raptors used to be identifed as a The-Look Pet. There was no critical purpose to having one because if you want its stats you would’ve be much better off with a cat or a ravager.

But now Raptors have Dash and statwise are on par with both of those other two pets. But because of the Stable Situation not every hunter who wants to try a Raptor on for size is going to be able to. Shattrath probably isn’t going to be overrun with Raptor-pets tonight.

As such, we believe that the Raptor is going to be one of those rare pets that crosses pet-categories. They shall be both Stat Pets and The Look Pets, at least for a while.

Just like Hobbes.
