<div class="IPBDescription">Muhahaha...</div> Ok, I have 2 pets at home. One is a budgie, the other is a Bourkes Parrot.

Now, if the budgie were an alien out of NS, I'd say she would be a skulk. Why? She wall climbs her entire cage, and destroys anything inside. She undoes ropes, chews through cuttle fishes in a day and is agitated at all times. Not to mention, she frequently bashes up the other bird

Now, the Bourkes Parrot on the other hand would probably be a Gorge, mainly becuase she's a docile creature that paces back and forth and gets bashed by the other bird. I dont mean any disrepute to the gorge, thats just How I'd imagine her to be.

So what would your pet be if they were an NS creature?

    Heh, a budgie is a 'parakeet'.

    I have 10 skulks (budgies... definitely skulks), and an OMFG-ONOS!!! (Double Yellow Headed Amazon - another parrot. He chases my family around the house in a game called "Bull". Enough said. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> )

    My parents own a fat, old crippled dog... if there's anything in this world that would resemble an alien Resource Tower... this dog is it.

    We've got a black-grey, thirteen years old cat. In NS terms, I think an offensive turret is the closest:
    No movement whatsoever, but nonetheless good for a bruise or two...

    I have a 5yo labrador, I guess in the NS world he'd be a defence tower crossed with a skulk, as msot of the time he just sits around barking at stuff and yet hes capable of quite terryfying speeds..

    I had a cat many years ago. He died in some kinda cat disease thingie... I think he became 15 or 16 years old, pretty old for a cat...
    Anyways, I think he would have been a Gorge, since he kept spewing up these yucky piles of goo everywhere... and always indoors! Stupid cat... <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    My cat would be a Gorge, because she's FAT! Her stomach practically drags on the floor when she walks.

    I haven't had a pet for about 10 years (not including my younger brothers) ... I have a bad history. From an early age children should be taught that pets don't respawn and aren’t edible.

    My cat would be a skulk. But a fat one. One which enjoys walking on ceilings (she sure as hell won't sit still so you can stroke it).

    Can I interest any of you with <a href='http://www.cat-scan.com' target='_blank'>Cat Scan</a> (old news, I suspect)?

    Seriously, though: I have one tortoise shell coloured, lazy cat. I used to have a hamster as well (the cat did not have anything to do with its death).

    I have a goldenretriever (sp?) called Poppins (yes, her first name IS Mary) and I think she looks a lot like a skulk. All except the teeth and the legs. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I have a 2 month old kitten called Rambo. He´s a nutcase. He keeps jumping all around, somtimes in circles chasing his tail. He jumps up and down every furnitur in the house. But he´s also sweet and cuddly when he feels like it.

    Too bad i don´t have any pics of him. Maybe later.

    i share a miniature schnauzer with my family. her name is shelley.
    i would consider her a movement chamber, fully capable of fast action, but ironically tends to lie happily in one spot

    as a side note, budgie is from the aboriginal australian word budgerigar which translates roughly into 'good eating'. if budgies are skulks, would skulks be good BBQ?

    I have a mini-beagle named Cassie. She's, um, 8 or 9 years old now I think? When I go home for Thanksgiving today she's gonna have a conniption or something. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    When she was a puppy, I think she would be considered a mini-Onos. She would run head-on into stuff all the time. You'd be in the other room, hear a "CLUNK!" and then a "ARF!"

    1) Border Collie mixed-mutt. Lazy, not fat but plump, and it can emit some pretty foul odors.
    Definitely a Gorge. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    2) Black Lab/Retriever mix. Chews <b>everything</b>. Hyperactive. Bounces off the walls and nips at you if you don't pay attention to her.
    100% Pure Skulk. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I've got 4 pets. 3 cats and a dog. Now one of the cats is about 8 or 9. He was the runt of the litter and appeleptic (sp?), so it totally thick. I'd say he's a babbler, capable of being viscious, but most of the time wandering around doing absolutly nothing,
    AND doing it wrong. The other two are brothers about 13, one is quite podgy, definetly a gorge. The other is skinny and sneaky **obscenity**. When he looks at you, you can tell he's thinking things out, hell we called him Lucifer, so hes definetly a fade. I don't have the foggyest idea what the dog would be.

    1 lasa apso/pekanese dog, pure skulk, all she does is wait at the bottom of the stairs in ambush for people.
    1 labrador/dalmation, slow and dumb she is definetly a gorge. Not mean bone in her body.
    1 bearded dragon, no clue.
    20 or so turtles, definatley hives because all they do is make more.
