Dude, Pets dont show up as red on the radar. I believe they show up as white, unless you're in a PVP setting.

If youre in the wild and you're overt, and they're overt, then maybe, but they'd see the kreetle was named "bucko" and sort of get wary maybe.

It's a good idea, but it would cause alot of problems with CH

so how about this, why don't we show up as yellow instead of red? Most people don't bother to check on the yellows around them so we could hang out in a yellow lair next to a rebel's mission and when he gets there BLAM and he never saw it coming (unless he was paying extra attention)

I've had this idea from the very first day i heard about +additional pets skill tapes.

Instead of being invisible,imagine surrounding yourself with 7 kreetles pets? To any overt enemy player who comes near, it is just a group of weak "red" creatures, you blend in. Unless he "tabs" all the creatures, how is he to know that you around.

Now that I think about it, instead of making us invisible to radar. How about given us the abilty to create "decoys"? ie 4-7 of a creature type that appear around us when we are covered? They would look like regular creatures, but only have 1 hitpoint(but looks like they have full hitpoints). and no damage. There would be no lair, so that would give them something to alway keep an eye out for. But, non-lair groups do happen.
