[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 7828716, member: 6802378"] Guenhwyvar, the famous panther and Drizzt D'ourden's "pet" or animal companion isn't an ordinary animal. If some monter allies are harder or easier to be killed because its type (fay, undead, construct, plant) is different, then the game balance could be broken. * OMG! Some fan will want to create a d20 version of the videogame Plants vs Zombies using those as "monster pets" with subtype plant. * Wizards' familiars aren't ordinary animal but magic beasts for game mechanic effects. * In videogames monsters mounts are very popular, not only in Warcraft but also in Newerwinter Online. * If a subclass allow monster pets, why not monster mounts, or monster humanoid squirrels? * If a magic monster pet is easier to be recovered after losing all hit-points some players could use them to explore zones with danger by possible hidden traps.
