If you could own any mythical creature as a pet, what would it be and why?

What, you are going to keep her in a giant aquarium in your living room? Men like you are the reason they avoid us!



Succubi aren't pets.

Seriously... you guys have no respect!

@149597871 I'd plonk her in the lower basin of the nearby waterways museum . I'm sure they won't mind, they need exciting exhibits! Plus I'd visit her every day :D

I was going to go with something bizarre and perverted, because honestly, I have never really been into all those codependent kinks like having "pets".

But if we think about it rationally... what kind of mermaid are we talking about? "Honey, I just swallowed a whole raw salmon - come here, give me a kiss!" Or a succubus? "Hey guys, this is my new pet - oh, you have already met? Several times? All at once?"

No, I think I would get myself Jesus. First off, great piece of interior décor - everyone else has replicas, but you have got the original hanging on your living-room wall. Then there is the "water into wine" trick - handy, practical skill. Not sure if "rise and go" works on individual body parts, but if it does - absolutely priceless. And with all the leash laws these days, it's nice to have a pet you can just let run across the lake without a muzzle and not worry he'll bite a kid. And that's not even counting the small perks - like separating seeds from chaff.

Yeah, that's my kind of pet. And I would definitely treat him better than his dad did.

@LoveYourSmile That's creative, but I'm not changing my choice.

@JaniSIr Oh, I absolutely not convincing you, just trying to be rational one time in my life.

And when you get your succubus... please, you must invite me to the party! I swear to be gentleman, only talk about music, literature and all that.

@LoveYourSmile
There's a lot of value to be had in discussing art like "The Nightmare" and "Neo Faust."

@Lucifrost Haha, I got what you mean.

Sorry, I'm terribly soaked to talk seriously - got into the storm, now drying my pants on AC and finishing the last pint before driving home, lol.

But! I have taken a picture today, for you specifically! I saw it and it was that bulb moment - Lucifrost would like it! Climbed that not so pleasant 4m uphill, trust me! (Well, it was easy, just added some drama)

Though iirc if you prayed at a time where the Baku was incredibly hungry, or you prayed one too many times, it would just eat up all your emotions, making you emotionless.

The goose that lays golden eggs. Already have ducks who hang out in my yard, might as well get one who can turn a profit lol.

@LoveYourSmile
The tree looks like it has a person living in it! I think treefolk make the greatest of all pets.

@Lucifrost I didn't dare to knock, honestly - I have no idea what's brewing in there. The Treefolk are at war with the Fieldkin again, and since it's Autumn, I'm obliged to side with the latter or lose my research permit for the thin-stemmed meadow mushrooms. Last time I defied them, I spent three days wandering a single plantain patch, until a dolphin appeared and politely guided me toward reality.

@LoveYourSmile
How did the dolphin navigate the plantain patch without feet?

@Lucifrost It arrived in a chariot drawn by ants. I didn't ask any questions - I know ants are the quiet type. Once, I told an entire anthill that Evangelion isn't actually a deconstruction of the mecha genre, and not a single one of them argued. And dolphins can't talk, because they are fish - I'm not a complete idiot, I don't talk to dolphins.

@LoveYourSmile
Thank you for clarifying. I didn't realize you were talking about that kind of dolphin.

That's an easy question to answer. It would obviously have to be a dragon!
