Annihilator (?): Gunsnake as a pet

[Agrimley]

Gusnake as a pet. You simply can’t go wrong with it. However it’s implemented, players will dig it. Just flavor, changing the Annihilator’s mecharachnid into a Gunsnake and keeping the same trees? They will like it. Some spice, bringing slight alterations to the tree on top of that? They will love it. A new tree altogether? They will go crazy. A class evolution, supplanting the default tree? They will gladly spend one prodigy on top of that cat point.

Actually, it doesn’t even have to be a change for Annihilator. The Gunsnake could be a Psyshot pet — and it would surely look cool, with its hat and overall attire, slithing beside a Gunslinger. Seriously, if you want people to go “holy ****!!!” over a changelist, let it include “this version introduces the Gunsnake as a playable pet for...”

And of course, in the future, there’s always the possibility of giving each tinker class a respective pet, but that’s another story.

As an avid fan of going fast and shooting things faster, I second this idea.

Gunsnake?! This is too awesome. Could also be a Summoner Class Evo.

As someone who really hates the Gunsnake when I meet him at low levels, I would equally love him as a pet option!

Possible class evo for Annihilator that replaces the Mecharachnid with a Gunsnake, or adds the Gunsnake to the Mecharachnid and makes it even more of a pet class?

Also possible to just have the gunsnake be a cosmetic(ish) option the way the dragon golem works for Alchemist.

This idea is awesome. I approve.
