I'm surprised there hasn't been any similar suggestions for this in the first six pages.

Although many people aren't fans of insects or spiders in real life, there are millions of these species out there. I think we could use some more.

So far, we only have the Illumis and the Bumbus (which is a bit challenging to get), and then a Common Experiment that can't be colored except scribble, and a steampunk Common Experiment .

Edit: I'll add snails, scarabs, scorpions, mantis, and pedes as people suggested.

/dreams about some kind of scarab beetle type pet

Spiders!!!! and centi/millipedes!!!! and mantis!

I know they're not insects, but I would like to see a spider or scorpion. Or perhaps a neat combination of the two, with the spider's body and a scorpion's tail and pincers.

(And this is coming from someone who's scared of spiders)

I think a mantis would make an awesome Subeta pet. The body could be combined with something else if it's hard to draw--maybe it could be part plant/flower since many of them imitate foliage as camouflage? I think mantises have cute, expressive faces, and they have a ton of redraw potential thanks to all the beautiful varieties they come in!

examples

I love scarabs, but we already have the bumbus as our cute, chubby, winged insect.

A mantis would be cool.

Also: snails. Snails snails snails.

Snaaaiiiillls.

ssshhhh let me dream about scarabs and never ever get a bumbus or a scarab beetle overlay for one

Love spiders. Love scorpions. Love all arachnids (except ticks, they can go extinct for all I care). Love Praying Mantids.

I love all of this thread. :D

I absolutely hate bugs, but I would not be opposed to mantises, snails, and (my favorite) walking sticks. :)

A really interesting looking Beetle type pet would be really awesome. I can imagine all the overlays people could do with them and even pet species colors would be so lovely, especially with the insect having a really intricate design.

I would want that or a Praying Mantis.
