Oh my God, I'd love to own a Nexu!! *_*
It'd most likely be a creature only Masters can handle due to its ferocity. It'd be nice to have something larger than a great plains stalker that's quick and agile.

i think that tusk cats should be mountable, they r the royal police forces of naboo ride them.I agree witht the zalakas...i have the feild guide and am craving one.... i would also like the wampa ice creature.....Acklays rule!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or the sando aqua monster.... just kidding on that one. the wampa's stats could go like this:
HAM: 10k
damage: 500-600
Level: 70
i like the quest idea... only a wampa instead

Nice Ideas,
Going back to a thought I had,what do ya'll CHs think of training Non-CH pets for Entertainers?If the Combat Upgrade goes the way I think it will we may all see 15th level Non-CH pets again. Training pets for more advance tricks and stunts for entertainers would add a new role for the CH and possibly the BE also. IDs grooming pets for a show, BEs making custom pets or special kits for Entertainers that are crafting a show much like a Circus. The developers like for us to work together so why just do combat? There are angles to put in missions and quests for the Entertainers in doing this and they crave more content. Yes, it could turn into "Stupid Pet Tricks" but it could be fun. Think about it Guys. Remeber the first time you gave a Durni to a Dancer and how surprised she was at the act of kindness. Let the little guy be entertaining too. Or was that just me?
Im not a CH anymore but I really respect your profession. I still hold pets in my Data Pad that I cant use but are dear to me. Please, think out side the combat box and see if we can turn a few things around.
Chew on this and give a post.

I'd love to see creatures in space! Slugs and mynocks were in the move. And so what if killing a mynock in space gives 0 xp...they chew on wires damnit!
Ducks! they were on Naboo and starwars.com has them in the data base.
I want a Nexu! I bought 2 of the toys and repainted one in grey/brown and black. looks like a demented Cheshire Cat.
More Naboo sea creatures...in fact I want sea monsters period. of course this leads to attacking in the water and deep sea fishing or even subs in Naboo. I'd actually like to visit Otah Gondah and be a Gun gun. "Yousa saying something about my mummy, sa?"
As for creatures from planets not in the game: hoth, bespin and kamino. Wampas, Taun tauns, and flying creatures (specifically mounts).
And speaking of Hoth: eviromental damage. I want a real experience of PvE, not PvMOBs. Why are they "warm hats" if I am never cold? and Tat has need of breathmasks for sand storms or something.
Ok...perhaps I envision too much for this game...but I can dream can't i?

No your right enviromental factors should come into play during the game. Make it so you get penalized for getting caught in a sandstorm or a rain storm. Have them cut your accuracy to none, and you defenses to none, and that would allow creatures to kill players, unless they hunkered down in a camp. Aint that what survival is about.
Though I bet I can beat you guys on cool creatures the game needs. The one eyed monster from the deathstar that tried o eat luke. Nothing saying that that guy cannot walk on land. The birds the kaminoans fly on. Baby sarlacs after all these guys got to move apart to set up new pits. Salacious crumb remember the guy that plucked c3pos eye out.
Though I also think that the devs should not feal limited, and come up with some creatures that borrow from earth biology. Like a giant kangaroo, a armidillo like creature, a stegosaur like creature, a giant scorpion. Its obvious so many models in the game were stripped from biology as is. After all where else can people get inspiration.
That gives me an idea the devs should run a create a creature contest for this game. Nothing overly powerful mind you. But something that looks cool and is different. Right now too much is recycled, and variety is the spice of life.

I wouldn't mind seeing a Nerf or an Aiwha myself.
Definitely wouldn't argue with all the suggestions in this thread (particularly those cuddly canines like the massiff).
Condor Dragons are in SWG, but they were inexplicably renamed "Mantigrue" toward the end of Beta (around the same time Corellian Sand Panthers were renamed "Razor Cats"). Still no idea why that was done.

We should start a petition to get Dagobah and Myrkr as explorable planets. Might make some dev's day.

Number one reason any name gets changed in anything is copyright issues. For all we know the condor dragon was used in a non star wars book decades ago. Useing the name would make swg pay a royalty. Remember the story about the guy that got a thousand dollar bill for singing happy birthday to you on the television, because it was copyrighted.
Lucas mind you has always been a stickler for copy rights. He tried to litigats battlestar galactica, because the ships looked starwarsy, and he tried to litigate the owner of darthmaul.com. Needless to say the site had been up for years. Even before he came up with the name.
Odds are its a copyright issue, or one they think could degenerate into one.

Any other Creatures of the known worlds that might be good to add?
Have you read about creatures onLok, Corellia, Rori, Dathamir, Talus, Dantooine or Endor?
Space Critters are not a Impossiblity if you want to explore that area.

Taun Tauns! No wait, then we'd need a new planet... Wampas! No wait, same problem... space slugs? Or maybe a space faring creature that can be called in space.
I wouldn't mind a pet like Jabba had. What did he call it... Oola, I think. That was a nice one.
HAHA! nice one
