Awesome!!!!!!

[Ickabob]

Maybe we can get a "mech beast" pet family to go with them?

[Rawr]

Im thinking this is just a joke because the starting pet is a mechanical chicken, so yeah....

[Slickrock]

Already have Firefly reserved on my server. Will do a race change.

[Lupen202]

I didn't even notice the pet. Would be awesome if Gnomes can tame mechanicals.

Not interested in gnomes at all but this is long overdue; there really isn't any reason that a gnome shouldn't be able to be a hunter Though I admit they'll look a bit comical next to their huge pets.

[Karathyriel]

Am I the only one NOT liking the idea?
Will the have pets way to big for them or will they scale down the pets to a ridiculous size?

[Sar]

I'm kinda hoping for the relatively massive pets tbh

[Lupen202]

If gnomes can tank gigantic bosses I don't think it's that big of a deal to have big pets.

Letting other people have fun isn't hurting anyone even if I won't be able to take them seriously, lol.

[Wain]

Gnomes are all about the ridiculous size difference They're not meant to be taken too seriously. I think it will be amazing. But also, a lot of mecha pets that currently exist aren't all that huge. Maybe they'll be able to "tame" the mechanical bear cub and cogblade raptor and fluxfire feline

IS THAT A ROBOCHICKEN PET?

Yeah :p I didn't even notice it first.

Gnome with big devilsaur inc :p
I think I know on what I gonne use the lv 100 boost

[Equeon]

Oh my god, this is great. And if that robochicken is any indication of what else might be added...

















Blizzard pls.

[Rawr]

Not sure how Blizz would make mini battle pets into hunter pets.

[Equeon]

Pretty simple, you'd just need new beast NPCs using those skins. If the robochicken is more than a starting pet and is an actual NPC, that would be the same way.

[Lupen202]

I think stuff like squirrels and rabbits are a bit of a stretch... but considering they're getting a chicken (unless that's only temporary) I guess nothing will surprise me.

Personally I'd much rather them add some full grown mechano bears, raptors and cats, and let us tame the mechanostriders too.
