General Don't call them a Dog?

[Spinward Scout]

I don't know about anyone else, but a Vargr+Attack Dog would be a combination I'd prefer not to antagonize ...

Makes me think of Sabertooth and Wild Child in the X-Men: Age of Apocalypse comic series. Sabertooth kept Wild Child on a leash.

Vargr keeping dogs as pets might be a lot like humans keeping monkeys as pets.

I always imagined that there might be eccentric (and possibly snarky) Imperial Vergr who have pet monkeys.

Monkeys make EXCEPTIONALLY BAD PETS for humans!
For one thing, monkeys are STRONGER than (most) humans, so in a contest of strength the human will usually lose.
Monkeys also BITE (in addition to their fecal projectile skills) and are quite capable of ripping your face off with their teeth while holding onto you so you can't get away when you've really pissed them off!

Do NOT try to domesticate a monkey (if you're a human)! All it takes is one fit of rage ... and then everyone is sorry ...

That depends on what you mean when you say a money...

One can understand from a Brazilian Silvery_marmoset (link to wikipedia), where none of what you said would apply to an African Gorilla (I guess no link needed here), where all of it does...

For what's worth, same can be said about dogs, that can mean from a Mexican Chihuahua to a Great Dane hound...

Oh yes, we were looking at monkeys smaller than my hand lol!

Also, monkey pox.

Also, monkey pox.

Just for clarity: monkey pox is not transmited by monkeys. While some species of monkeys may be carriers, it seems transmision to come mainly by other mamals.

I'm pretty sure the "monkey pox" comment was for comedic effect. I could be mistaken. I frequently am!

Marmoset there'd be days like this.
There'd be days like this, my Marmoset.

Sorry.

when a dog
loses an
argument,
he doesn't pelt
you with his
excrement.

No, he just pisses on your leg/foot.

1. ..... into the Sinward Marches, .....

Sounds like a fun (if decadent) trip.

 

[Condottiere]

The monkey has both ranged combat, and accuracy.

Nerfing Humans! That was hilarious and thought provokingly deep. Especially when discussed in gaming terminology.

In case it wasn't obvious, when I found the Tier Zoo channel on youtube, I basically lost 2 days ROFLcopterLMFAOing and just how unfairly brilliant the channel creator was (and still is, they release a new video every few months).

I HIGHLY recommend the Tier Zoo channel to anyone and everyone who learns better through gamer humor!

You are talking about a chimpanze, not a monkey. Large monkeys, such as the Japanese macaque, might be 25 lbs (11 kg for you Slave International unit believers). They are much stronger than proportional for a mini-me human of the same size, but not stronger than an adult male human. Except those who sit in chairs and type on keyboards all day...

Why has nobody said it in this thread???



Then he calls him a "trash panda."
"Is that better?"
"Haha, it's sooo much worse."
