Wildlife, critters etc

There's not even any animals in the Royal Menagerie! I thought we rescued Ala Mihgo, repopulate the castle with some gardeners and animal carers, and fill it with wildlife and non-aggressive mobs

That's a good idea, though I'd prefer that we can't attack them like mobs.

They could also add animals that we could pat and play with in towns. Make them react differently to different emotes, and maybe even add an achievement involving seeking out and interacting with these animals!

Aw that would be cute. Like some dogs running around, barking at you. I love that in Mhor Dona you can sometimes see a carbuncle going around. Having more of that with animals (just use the minions for the look) would make it feel more alive. And if NPCs are having different routes with different times would bring it to life even more.

Rift has those critters too. I believe they even help when a rift opens and they are near. But its just soo much better if you walk around and have some random animals that dont attack you.

Just no cats. Any game that has cats make so many people get distracted they stop doing what they were doing before they saw the cat(s) and had to go over and pet them. I personally wave at the piggies in Xelphatol any time I get that for roulette. I do love cats just I'm worried I'll get someone dead because I'll have become distracted by a cute cat while on my whm.

It makes me happy to see so many people liking and agreeing with this idea. I just hope that if they do listen, that they add them to existing zones and not just new zones in the 5.0 expansion ♥
