Title pretty much says it all. I just want a wee boot high hamidon blob with it's own lil bright nucleus that oozes around following me.

or a mini-Avatar. That model needs to be used more too.

That would be cool.

Only if you have the Throw Jellybeans temp power, which sadly untoggles noncom pets.

It's the fact that they aren't used more that makes them even cooler. Too much of a good thing, y'know?

But yeah, /signed on getting a mini-Hami. Would make an awesome vanity pet for mad scientists types.

Yes. He'll infect your friends and family and turn them towards returning the planet to its great natural form.

Yes, but make sure to check their flavors first. The poor hero who got a Red Rum jelly bean...


Goodbye. Not to the game, but the players. Goodbye. Everyone, remember to have fun. That's all I can say.

Thank you....


It's no good throwing obscure trivia out there if nobody gets it.

Omg yes, perfect <3 I mean, we'd have to see it in action, I don't think the pic does it justice (it certainly doesn't with Hami) But yea, that's pretty much all they'd have to use. Maybe tweak the colors a bit.

I approve of this idea.

It would need movement animation though, which would probably require a new animation rig if it's going to do anything more complex than simply sliding along the floor like some NPCs do when their movement animation doesn't play correctly.

They used to bounce. It was quite fun to chase them down or get glomped by one.

More like they remained motionless for 30 seconds, then suddenly jumped to a new position and then were motionless again for another 30 seconds. The server side lag on the old Hamidon raids was always so incredibly thick.

That was the goo.

I don't suppose anyone is aware of any videos that exist of these things in action? By the time I got my first character that was high-level enough to do a Hami Raid they had been removed.
