Pets?

[nicolejackson4481]

I think it would be interesting if there was a small chance of finding animals on the islands. For instance, maybe you could find a dog and tame it by feeding it. Once tamed, you could bring it with you on your raft. You would need to keep it fed and watered but each animal would give a specific benefit.

Possible Animals and their Benefits:

Dog- Helps defend the raft when the shark attacks
OR Gives advanced/louder warning of the shark attack (credit to kingofkin)
Cat- Hunts seagulls and will bring you the meat/feathers it collects
Chicken- consistent supply of eggs/feathers
Goat- Provides milk
Pelican- Can teach to hunt fish for you, maybe provide eggs as well
Goldfish- Can obtain from fishing. Can be used as a decoration if you craft a fish bowl.
Dolphin- Protect the player from the shark while diving (credit to Shaidon)

would indeed be interesting

i think the dog could be more of a alarm system for when the shark decides that it is "nom nom Time"

I could see this being useful on larger rafts where you can't always hear the shark. It would especially be useful if the dog could give you a few seconds advance warning.

A pet dolphin that will protect me from the shark while I'm swimming. =)

ooh! I LOVE this idea! Maybe the dolphin could distract the shark so there is less chance of it attacking the player while swimming.

Mind if I add this idea to the original post (with credit to you, of course)?

Hehe, no need to ask permission. Thanks for asking.

I actually made a joke, cause people have being very sensible and mostly aggressive with my suggestions that are "against" the survival aspect of the game. =P

But a dolphin just behaving like one, would be lovely.
