Either that, of they are just as dumb as a box of rocks.How can a sane person justify giving "the masters of the undead" access to creatures that are not undead?If I wanted to play a conjurer, then I would have rolled a conjurer.I rolled a necromancer, give me undead pets.What where they thinking, or is the problem that they weren't?<div></div><p><span class="time_text"></span></p><p>Message Edited by Merciful_Shadow on <span class="date_text">03-20-2006</span><span class="time_text">03:38 PM</span></p>

<div>Chill dude, lol. As a matter of fact gargoyles are undead, and the T7 mage pet is a spectre if you didn't notice, also out awakened grave is a zombie like always. I agree the flaming pigs are pretty lame, but they are also pretty funny and close enough in my opinion.</div><div> </div><div>If I were you I'd be [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn]ing more about the Archlich graphics, not to excited about them.</div>

Actually I read a bit of lore that had gargoyle as the trpped spirits of the dead used by some cults to protect and defend sacred areas.... Which is supposed to be where gargoyles on churches and such originated.Vampires are undead... Specters... also undead...

<div>Think of them as some farmers pigs who died in a barn fire.</div><div> </div><div>There, we have all undead pets now.</div>

<div></div><p>The Dread isnt really a gargoyle. its more of the fleshgoyle from the Vamp adventure pack.</p><p>while techincally a flesh golem, animated flesh is technically undead =p, so its a double loophole.</p><p> </p><p>flaming demon pigs are more of a demonologists feild, or maybe a wow warlock =p</p>

<div></div>I like to think of the pigs as a representation of one of the 7 deadly sins: gluttony.<div></div>

<div></div>Of course the pigs are undead, they're from last weeks BBQ.:smileyvery-happy:

itd be great if they gave us skeleton swarm pets, or something like that.  we get the zombie one, and we get undead tide, but why not just regular skeletons?<div></div>

<div></div><p>First off the flaming pigs are more deamonic and in some cultures are really a hellish creature in a few tribes in africa there the guardians of the under world.  Second to be techonal there not pigs. They do no have hooves, and they do not have the round body type of a pig. They are boars with paws(why no hooves i donno).  Secondly there on fire(most living things don stay liveing for long when on fire).  Secondaly a gargolye depending on where you are from is either a creation of the dead or undead itself.  A gargoyle is not made of stone to be honest it just posess the power to turn into stone.  But they are living creature not animated creatures. Vampires again depending on the storey.  Are techonaly not undead they are living beings, they have not died yet.  They however are infected with a disease/virus/mutation of the body that makes it so they do not have a workign circalatory system IE the need to drink blood.  cause there body can not create blood.  Basicle they represent  pure evil in all ways.  if humans did in fact represent pure good, but both are still alive.</p><p>Also as others have said. the lvl 62 grim terror is a specte and at master 1 has a rather menacing looking scythe, that i think would make Death himself jelious.  I like all the new pets even the pigs i think there quite sinister in themselves.  In real life a herde of boars on fire bashing there heads against your face isent to funny.  I am sick of that same zombie modle, i liked the first caster pets necros got thats a cool zombie modle. I think they need varations i like the fact there turning necro into a more controlers of the under world over just, controlers of undead</p><p> </p><p>But anyways that my 2cp, doubt the originaly posted even cares <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>
