For this initial implementation, the team used a couple of the ambient creatures that were already located in the world: i.e. No new art was necessary.

Ambient creatures that I'm aware of which are slated for "pet" status are: Frogs, Chickens, Roaches, Rats, Prairie Dogs ... and probably a few others that I’m not aware of.

Was gems a pre-existing game or did SOE create it specifically for the purpose of killing time in Everquest?

Yeah little pets were very popular in SWG. Even whent hey were bugged and could be stolen people wanted then just to place as furniture in their house. I made as much money as a bioengineer selling pets for toys and houses as I did for fighting.
