Wizard Drake Familiar?

    So, I just made a Wizard for the first time on EQ2. I had one on EQ1 for the longest time, so I naturally gravitated to the drake familiar.

    Why the heck does the drake walk on the ground instead of flying? My first thought was that the fluttering of the drake was maybe a little bit distracting, but then I saw we get a book familiar that flies around.

    Is there a good reason why the drake can't fly? You always have the option to hide it if it's a distraction, so I'd like to request that if be given the ability to fly like a classic wizard familiar, if possible.

    Thanks.

    if that doesn't work out there is a cheap wand in the SC shop that will convert any combat pet into a flying fae drake.

    just a suggestion.

    Don't think that would work on the wizard's familiar. They don't do combat, just hang around providing a buff.

    I just think it's silly to see my familiar crawling on the ground, when his wings are clearly bigger than his legs. o_O
