Substitute DE

Your character can have one of these seven easy-to-care-for, durable creatures as a pet: a Kittykit (a combination of a cat and a raccoon), a Vargling (a tiny, friendly hellhound-like dog-monster), an Ewecus (kind of like a fluffy lamb, but with more boogers), a Broodling (a tiny insectoid dragon), a Glomglom (a big round fluffy bug), a Giblet (a little turkey thing), or a Mothling (a moth that glows in the dark). Only one, though. Which one suits them?

Alternately, if none of those inspire you: What kind of pets does your character like?

I think Wilson likes cats, but has never actually had one before. He was never a huge fan of dogs even on Earth, and it'll only get worse the more times he gets attacked by Maxwell's hounds. Chester isn't really a dog, he just acts a little bit like one. Wilson also likes flying pets (smallbirds aren't a Critter, but he likes those too). I usually pick the mothling, the glomglom or the broodling for him, sometimes the kittykit.

Sariel is a cat person generally (dogs make her a bit nervous), but I'm going to say she'd have a Mothling.

Tess likes fish. She'd take none of these.

Creed would take a kittykit. He likes cats and he can relate to raccoons.

Kylo might have a droid commissioned based on a mothling.

Ahsoka seems like she'd take any of them, but if she had to chose would go with a glomglom; especially s01 Ahsoka.

Sabine would go with the vargling.

Jess, as much as the broodling is tempting, would go with the kittykit. Trash kitty for the win.

Tybalt, oddly, would go with the mothling.

Viv would go with a mothing as well I think.

Ben...well, do dead people get a choice? Let's go with an ewecus since there's no flying squid or octopus.

Dog would take a vargling.

New pup soon to be apped, Alustin Haber would choose a broodling. The mothling is tempting as it'd be useful, but sometimes you need dark.

Your pet continues following you when you're a ghost, although you can't get a new one, so the answer to Ben's question is "kinda".

Vargling.

In no way just to tease the nine-foot giant wolfman mentor/friend/trusted enemy??? of his named Varg.

Look it's not quite the same as having a tavar for a pet but it might do well enough to scare the Canim even more.

Yamato would obviously have a Vargling. Kid's got the hell theming and the dog/wolf theming, it's the obvious choice.

Eden, meanwhile, would take a Kittykit.

Cecil is here for the Kittykit. Though he wouldn't say no to a Vargling, as long as it isn't an actual hellhound, that... that goes badly.

So badly.

Klaus... probably would pick a Mothling because hey, glow in the dark, that's good. But he could probably use a Kittykit because dude, you need something to hug. Like, for reals.

Jonathan would probably end up with a Kittykit because he also really needs something to hug, and it has the benefit of being somewhat canonical? Definitely not getting any of the insect options. Hell to the no. Absolutely not. Do not actually care how 'cute' it might be.

Oh yeah, bugs are a thing in Jonathan's canon, aren't they.

And yeah no it's not an actual hellhound, that was just the closest comparison I could think of since most recognisable canine monsters are based on wolves instead and Hounds/Vargs are definitely derived from dogs.

Bugs are definitely a thing in Jonathan's canon, and if they could stop being a thing for a little bit, I'd be fine with that. At least until they've dealt with the spiders that come into the clinic.

Hellhounds (or, rather, singular hell hound) is also a thing in Cecil's canon, even though it is awfully cute. Just... Awful.
