Option of a couple different skins for pets ? Not really skins, but more color and size variations... Not entirely different creatures

That is a nice idea. Maybe not skins, but different pets but with the same stats. So you can choose between 5 or 10 different monsters, but all have the same stats and level.
I think it would look nicer with a lot of players. Instead of the same 5 pets you have 25 different ones.

You buy worms at 820 and they should look like worms. Not dragons or fairies or anything else.

It will create greater, and pointless GM investigation, if someone complains when a lvl 380 fairy has the skin of a lvl 1 skeleton. Think about the damage caused by both.

Let's keep as we are.

I concur.

As just a player I might worry more about someone else's pets too. If I'm leaving my house near the platinum and I see someone mining with blood fairies I'm not overly worried about spawning a devil on the way out and having it go towards his pets. If I see someone mining with a pair of boss dragons I know those would die so I'll make sure to kill any devil on my way out.

I don't think it's a useful improvement.

Better to change color of the pet

This reminds me of the conversation when purchasable premium skins came out for players. My only objection then was it obscured what class a player was which at times (like pvp encounter) might be nice to know.

The idea of color change seems reasonable or perhaps skins available by class and more importantly by range of pet level. It's the stats that are more the feature of each pet we want not if it looks a certain way. I remember as a new player thinking yuck I don't want ugly worms as pets give me something cool that I can be proud of! But I got over it...but if an option in that range were available like praying mantis or a pulsating blob I might have gone for that. I don't think it's a bad idea but would have to be specific enough that the range of the pet could be determined by it's skin. The cost is another consideration too I would want it included in the pet choice option, unless it was a rather long use pet I am not sure players would pay the additional charge. But I was surprised how popular premium skins became.
