Title: Pet Aliens!
Post by: Terenia on February 26, 2009, 05:05:05 PM
Which alien would you prefer to have as a pet, if they kept all aspects of their race (ie, Andalite arrogance, Taxxon hunger, Hork-Bajir limited intelligence, etc). Why?


Personally I'd like a Hork-Bajir. They're so nice and docile and loyal. If only we could find an Arn to make them fuzzy....

Helmacrons cause they would make me lol so hard.  Cheap to feed and make space for too. :]

Erm... I wouldn't keep sentient species as pets. That's slavery, no? 

I would like to have a colony of semi-wild kafit birds, though.  Similar to how some people keep pigeons in cities.  Except kafits are carnivorous and not as ugly.

point there.
I would like to have an alien as a friend, but not keep it as a pet.
I would like a be friends with an Andalite. They can teach me some valuable things I lack.

Veleek FTW.

I mean, come on.  A pet that you can program to do your bidding, will disperse when you don't want it around, you never have to bathe it, and could chew up anyone you don't like?  Who wouldn't want one?  Well, except people allergic to dust, that is.

Somebody beat me to Veleek! Darn!

Helacrons would be cool to have around. I would even pretend to worship them, just for the lulz.

I'd take an Iskoort buddy, because I could use him to piss of so many people that I don't like. and if he get's desperate, he might take there unnecassary organs without permission.

As for paying him...do you think their homeworld has sugar?
Title: Re: Pet Aliens!
Post by: Hunter on February 26, 2009, 06:39:24 PM
hmm... good question... prolly not
Title: Re: Pet Aliens!
Post by: AniDragon on February 26, 2009, 06:40:31 PM
See, the problem with the Iskoort is that you have to get CREATIVE with payment. They won't take the two of the same thing as payment, because hey, they already have one.

I'd have a Hork-Bajir pet. It wouldn't be slavery, since I wouldn't actually make it do anything. In fact, I'd be the one who'd have to move to a spot with a lot of trees to make sure it can feed itself.

But, I would definitely want to have a Hork-Bajir to hang out with.

Obviously I wouldn't want a sentient creature as a pet, but hypothetically speaking it would be cool to have an Andalite or Hork-Bajir friend around (and the Veleek idea is pure genius!)  ;D

However, another alien race does spring to mind. Leerans. How awesome would it be to have a psychic alien as a pet/friend? Wandering if the girl next door likes you? Want to know what your friends, parents or colleagues really think about you? Just ask your friendly neighbourhood Leeran!

Post by: wildweathel on February 26, 2009, 06:55:12 PM
Want to know your own deepest darkest fears and confront them on a daily basis?  Never be able to take time alone, or have a really private thought?  Just invite your friendly neighborhood Leeran.

That's why we've asked them to stay off-planet.

Sorry.
Title: Re: Pet Aliens!
Post by: Phoenix004 on February 26, 2009, 07:04:37 PM
That's why as my pet, they would be forbidden to enter my mind, or alternatively as a friend they would respect the boundaries of our friendship and stay out of my mind out of respect. If not, then I would get rid of them. I certainly don't want to hang out with a mind reader if they're going to be looking at my thoughts.

I wouldn't have a pet, but if I could have an alien friend, I would have a Hork-Bajir or an Andalite.

Post by: Dameg on February 27, 2009, 01:13:54 AM
What can we say when we already have them as pets? Esplin has many, me too... Gafrash also has...
And yeah, it's slavery ^^
As true "pet", I'd say the Veleek is interesting, or Esplin's old pets. Or a Kafit or a Derrh (another species, I think Humans don't know).

Yeerk.

Why?

Well because it wouldn't be right to keep a sentient as a pet, but if I were going to do so my Yeerk would be able to swim in a fish bowl like some really large sea slug, no one's the wiser. An Andalite or Hork-Bajir would be too hard to keep hidden, a Helmacron would just get lost, and a Taxxon would scare me to death. ;D

Hmm. I think Andaliteand Hork-Bajir are my top two, not sure which order. A modern Andalite would be great, but a primitive Andalite would be cool as well. I mean, A modern Andalite would be a great friend, but a primitive Andalite (like in the Ellimist Chronicles) would be more like a pet.

But you know what would be awesome? The Ellimist. I'd be like, "Ellimist, I'm bored. I want a pony!" and then my pet Ellimist would be like "I give thee.... SEABISCUIT!"
Title: Re: Pet Aliens!
Post by: NorthAmericanScum on February 27, 2009, 07:51:24 PM
I wouldn't want any of those as pets because they're sentient and I probably wouldn't be able to sleep with a Taxxon in the house anyway.
But I want a Hork-Bajir sidekick. That would be amazing.

Yeah, but he'd probably play tricks on you, too. Then when you confront him, he'd be all, "Oh, it's part of a game. :D"

Thinking of Ani-aliens as loyal friends/companions make me think Pokemon.  Like, hardcore.

In which case I have to go with Leeran.  Mwahaha.

And killing you for locking him in a small, dark place and only releasing him to fight for you.

Not if I get eight gym badges first. Then he has to respect me, regardless.

I wouldn't anything of these to be a 'pet' because that is disrespectful and wrong (especially to an andalite, being a 'pet' to a 'lesser' species)

But I would like to have an andalite as a friend or acquaintance. But not a pet, definitely not a pet. Next a hork-bajir as a friend. they would certainly make for entertaining conversation, basically a one-way conversation...
Title: Re: Pet Aliens!
Post by: JFalcon on April 05, 2009, 06:44:30 AM
I kind of imagine talking [at great, extensive length] to a Hork-Bajir being sort of like that scene from that cartoon movie version of Tarzan where Jane and Tarzan first meet and she just won't shut up and poor Tarzan just has no clue what she's saying.

andalite cuz they are cool. and if it was like ax, it would be most amusing having him in human morph ;D

Post by: yunyun on September 17, 2011, 03:48:10 PM
Kafid bird. The. Are. Awesome.

i would like an andalite but i hate the idea of keeping an intelligent creature as a pet. That's just like saying you're having a pet human.
Title: Re: Pet Aliens!
Post by: estrid on September 17, 2011, 09:20:38 PM
lol well ya, technically he'd be a friend and not a pet BUT STILL
Title: Re: Pet Aliens!
Post by: SkyMorpher on September 17, 2011, 11:29:45 PM
I agree with the friend more than pet part. Ax would be fun to have as a friend, but you'd have to watch the food. But I'd love having him here and we've been having homemade Cinnabons mix lately too. mmmm bunzzzzzzz

(although my real alien friend preference would be Cole, from Tracker...10yrs after it went off the air and I still totally love it)

They could even pose as you and pass exams c:
