But guys. Why can’t there be special traits for pets? What if there is some chance, that a pet is special in some ways. For instance there is a fox with the random trait of “Expert rodent exterminator” that means, while he/she is around your town, there is a smaller chance for rodents to feast on your food supplies. Or Billy, the squirrel with “Paranoid parrot”, and some time there is a popup window, that says “Billy is unusually worried today” indicating, that some enemies are coming or other bad thing is about to happen. I think you get the idea. This traits can be random and for example the more trained the trapper the more exotic trait your pet can have, as a skilled trapper can catch that extraordinary pets. And that can be an other excitement in the game, that what will my next pet be like. And maybe a scenario later, to catch REALLY exciting pets with unique traits.
ps.: and maybe train them some way later? for instance your trapper can be upgraded to “Pet handler”? And than you can have wolves who fight for you
