My dad's a scientist and he told me I can get any pet I want for my birthday! So I think I'm gonna ask for one of the followings:

- Zergling
- Ultralisk
- Hydralisk
- Overlord

I'm kinda leaning towards overlord because he can probably help me with my homework, be a good conversation partner and more importantly, be my gas free & insurance free transportation device (I gotta find a vet with the upgrade though T.T ).

Ultralisk can be my transportation too. He might have trouble fitting into a single lane though. My life will be bully free for the rest of the high school years. I also like that there's a nice guide for one already.

Pet ultralisk guide

I wonder if it's okay to just have one zergling instead of a pair. I hear they are born in pairs and they bond with each other. I can only afford one though, so s/he might get depressed. Other than that, having one should be pretty similar to having a dog.

Hydralisk is the icon of zerg. That alone is a pretty good reason to keep one. I'm pretty sure they are pretty sophisticated as well. Overlord probably is better in that area but I can still have a decent conversation about things.

Edit:
Sophisticated Hydralisk Hype!

Totally the overlord. Can fly you wherever you want AND detect stealth!

I reccomend a cat over a dog.

dogs are need too much attention and you have to walk them.

cats are nicer.

If the overlord communicates like in bw, then Ovie ofc!! It can even transport you in the air, how cool isn't that?
You: "Let's go Ovie-Wan Kenovie!!"
Overlord: "BWAAAAH BAAAABWWAAH!!!!"

Get a zergling bro. Imagine all the tricks it could do. it could jump up on your bed everyday and wake you up, it could bring you your newspaper, it could do a backflip, a barrelroll, play dead, you could play frisbee with it. And on top of that all those teeth and claws will make sure no other living creature with a preservation mechanism within a 2K radius will never come to fuck you up.

Also, when your mom asks you to build a flowerbed you could just tell it to burrow repeatedly in a small area.

I'm glad you don't want a roach! If that thing spills acid all over your mom's furniture, oooh boy, you and your roach pet are in for a treat!

I'd get an overlord, because it is too slow to escape, so you will not lost it. It also won't bite no or any of your friends visiting. It's really the less dangerous animal to get.

Well, definitely not the best pet to play fetch with!

The overlord can transport you, see camouflaged shit, creep up shit, and project your mental influence onto up to 8 other creatures/people for you.

Go with the mind control, bro. Or do you not want a harem of 8 women who will do whatever you want?
(8 because women are only 1 psi, obviously)
Life is not about making due with what you have; it's about finding out just how much you can achieve. Never settle for anything less than the best. - - - Read my blog!

This is dependent on whether or not its an SC2 ovy or a BW ovy. Plus you need to take into consideration the ability to upgrade. If no upgrades are possibly for your pet overlord I'd say its not worth it :D

Someone draw/photoshop this so hydra won't totally be out of the race.

By the way, don't forget to take some bags when you walk (float) your overlord to clean up the poo!
