My friend left the base with my maewing and I told him not…
My friend left the base with my maewing and I told him not to kill it, he came back a few minutes later and when he did I thanked home for keeping him alive. I think he took that as a challenge and left the base yet again to kill my maewing. I played it off but a few minutes later I got the notification that it had died. I was pretty angry so I left the game.
When I got back on later it was still alive… I asked my friend about it and turns out he tamed a dilo and named it parachute (the same as my maewing) and got it killed making it look like my maewing died. Moral of the story, check the whole kill quote. It may not be what you think it is
