I was wondering if anyone else has seen this before? This isn't the first time, but its the first time I've been able to screen shot it. I am assuming that a pet has been lost from its veno owner. What I am unclear about is why it has the name NPC? You can not click on it, I followed it around a little bit til I got bored but it never seemed to go anywhere. Followed the same pattern. And chances are if I go back to that spot now it will be gone. So does it just "disappear"? Or does it finally find its owner?

    In west arch? And if so why isn't it there all the time? And I have NEVER seen a magmite as one of her "pets". It is a creature that we kill in many different areas of the game.

    b:chuckle That's not a new npc. That just mean that the game information for those particular characters haven't quite loaded all the way. And because it's actually someone's pet, it just says npc (since technically it is not a player character and is controlled by the programming). That has happened to me before and that's what it turned out to be. It's also because you're in West Archo (aka Lagosaur)

    No, it's not one of the Zoologist's pets. I know what this is, it's happened to me before, and it took me a while to figure it out. I just can't seem to be able to explain it. ><

    Sometimes, a player's pets gets those NPC rather than [name]'s [pet]. I don't know why it does that, but it happens a lot.

    "Is he dead? He looks dead."

    "No, he's not dead."

    "Have you checked? I could kick him if you want."

    lag same reason you sometimes dont see partymates after relog or player names show blademaster P-xxxxxxxx (x=numbers)sometimes server is bad at updating until you leave max distance/radar and come back into range and it reloads/refeshes
