Nope, no upperlimit - for a very good reason, say you make a cl 70 template but the max cl of the skin is 10 - you've got a cl10 with cl 70 stats, we have enough trouble in that area already

Well a upper limit should cap the stats, or render the pet unusable (preferably the former). But I see what you mean.
Also, I do not complain, this means I get to make my army of Gnorts. Or maybe even a CL 70 Durni. (who cares if a Rancor or Kimo is a better pet, rampant Gnorts is the way to go )

There are supposed to be lower CL limits on some skins but I've seen them work (a CL40 kimo with 400 HAM) and not work (a CL8 dewback). As NancyJ said there are no upper limits that I've ever encountered or read of.

Rancor's and Kimogillas make terrible pets - they're too big, they get in the way and lagg the place up a durni is much better But cats are preferred for their movement speed.

I don't make Gnorts, they're too ugly for me. Where did the graphics designers get the idea that a herbivore would have a long, thin muzzle, and feathers rather than ears for something that has to be aware of predators in all directions seems a little silly, but this is, after all, "make-believe".

I make a lot of "eeevil bunnies", usually squalls, both as the non-CH monsters or as mid-to-high level pets. Squalls seem to be the fastest movers of the four "bunny species" (gnorts, durni, squall and vir vur) and get the most "isn't that cute" responses. Making small pets with high stats is fun anyway, for the surprise value, and also they can be difficult to target, so they have a slight advantage in PvP, though most pets don't fare well there in general.

One of my favorite mini-pets is a Ninja-Kitten Kima, which I make with a black hood look and imbue with exceptional stats. It just cracks people up to have this tiny kitten-like creature rip a rancor to shreds and then meow like a siamese cat.

Non-CH Kimas, I have made some real monsters, over 10500 health, 59% kinetic, 140-150 damage.

CH Kimas are more fun, I have done those into the CL 68-70 range, with 13K/10k/10k, armor/60%KR/50%ER and 400+ damage range; they are always a surprise. I had a CL 20 that I just passed on to a friend, 9500/5k/3500 with armor/60%KR and in the 240-250 damage range if I remember correctly. When I used it, it was named "Terror".

So we now know who the culprit was in setting that evil attack bunny loose on King Arthur!
