It's a far fetched idea but hear me out... as of right now the pets are cool. It they are just noisy invincible little pests (I'm kidding they're adorable)
I propose that we give pets the ability to die, whether it be from enemy crews, various npcs or being blasted out a cannon... the pets should die, giving us incentive to care about and for them... of course they will be easily equipped again, when they die it basically just unequips them but I wanna hear everyone else's thoughts...

You know many serial killers started harming animals in their youth...just saying.
How many of those were digital?

that's not what this is
I don't want anything to do with the idea but the idea itself isn't even in the same ball park as some of the animal related gameplay that has been around a long time in gaming
I think it's important to separate escapism from labeling
also it's essentially what happens with the pig already in the game it just sounds terrible as a direct suggestion.

@wolfmanbush so I take it... bad idea?... I still don't regret spitballing it 😂
unpleasant idea for many
but they have distressed noises and actions for the pets in the game and I find that far worse overall
The real villian of sea of thieves isn't the dark brethern, or the reapers bones, it's @AvacadoBeard244. Usually I try to respect everyones opinions and suggestions but even I have to say...WHY. What sick person wants their innocent pets to DIE? And what even sicker person is gonna go shoot some persons cute lil' dog? Though, I guess you could have a pet onboard as a sort of weapon...a weapon of guilt, I guess. Basically like "if you shoot at my ship, you run the risk of killing my poor, adorable dog." That's insane...but a pretty strong way to avoid PVP...
@realwebber69 I just thought it would be cool because you could build more of a relationship with your pet and go on a journey of survival with it, you're constantly trying to keep an eye on it and keep it out of trouble or you can just unequipp it... and don't you DARE ASSUME IM WORSE THAN REAPER RUNNERS.... you insult me, loads dog into cannon NOW FLY FLUFFY!!!!

If you had to keep checking on your pet to make sure it doesn't die, it would become a constant struggle. People dont like pets already because they get in the way...but now they have to be constantly checked on to make sure they don't straigh up DIE?! Yeah, at that point, everyone is just gonna use pocket crabs and pocket rats instead....also FLUFFY NOOOOOoOOOOOOOoOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
