Developer ArenaNet continues to reveal more and more info about its highly anticipated MMO sequel Guild Wars 2. Today the game's official web site officially revealed another character class for the game, the Ranger. As one might expect this class is very much skilled in ranged combat via his (or her) bow but ArenaNet has thrown something different in the mix.

That would the the addition of pets for the Ranger. There will be 12 different types of pets to pick from and there will be a variety of types available from land to air to water-based animals. Pets can evolve over time by gaining evolution levels (20 in all) and more abilities that are specific to each pet. All in all these animals sound like they won't be pack mules.
