I'll make a mule to keep the 3 pets in its inventory, but I won't be wasting space in my active characters inventories by using them. Too much clutter.
Originally posted by Cougan I think it is sad that Zenimax have once again listened to the vocal minority and added this abomination to the game.
Abominations are fun! :-)

It's a P2W4F Monkey. Has his own Skill Line, can Craft everything, even Dark Ankers and will laugh on every Player which passes him.
It's ape-alling is what it is. "First the imperial edition, now this. What about all those people that had to pay extra for CE to be able to have the "whole game"? They've been ripped off! What if they don't have the time to invest in this beta? Will they be now FORCED into a sad, incomplete, monkeyless existence for the rest of their ESO-playing life? Doesn't zenimax get the concept of "include the whole game!?"
Naw Brah, it'll be okay. The basic version and the collectors version will be in the cash shop later along with all the other unlocks like UI buttons when it goes F2P.
But NOT THE MONKEY! What good are 50+ levels of adventure in Tamriel if i cannot do them with a monkey at my side? What good? **weeps**
Well Brah, there's always the consolation prize. For some reason ZOS calls them stuff like "night-blade" and "Khajit" and even though you never get to see em before they kill you with a bow we all know they are really just playable vanity monkeys too...See? game already has invisible vanity pets in combat. I'm calling pokemon and streamin on twitch.

Are they by account or by character? I would think the latter so no stacking/stocking.

Why else would you want/need vanity pets in a ES game?
1) It looks like he was turning your 'Oo' into the monkey sound 'Ook'. Because monkey pet.
2) The purpose is because some people enjoy having a neat creature following them around, not necessarily that the ultra evil corporate suits are initiating their nefarious plot to charge the poor helpless gamers for meaningless tripe. It could be that they plan to eventually sell vanity pets a la WoW, but a neat little beta participation reward is in no way an indication of that.
My roomie wanted me to ask...is this pet available to the person I send the 'friend' beta code as well? I thought, yes because it say that its for all who participate.
Well, this kinda sucks. I was hoping the monkey I "earned" months back would be unique - before all the waves of invites were thrown out. Looks like it'll just be another little pet that never pops his head out of my bank.

Have you been playing DLC Quest ?
Lost my mind, now trying to lose yours...
Uggggg.
Sorry man. I didn't realize it was showing.
Awesome ! My very own minkey !
Hopefully, these vanity pets die a horrible death if you forget to put them away before combat, and have a 30min cooldown...
This AND Dieter?!?!?!
I love you guys
