Pet Stats
Your pet's stats will be based on your Pet's Rank when you create it. Your pet cannot get stronger by any means. Unlike NPCs, Pets will be stuck with a certain amount of Stat Raises.
IMPORTANT: You may not purchase a pet for your character if it exceeds your Rank. If you want a B Rank Pet, you are required to be B-Class minimum. This rule works differently with uNPC as they can have pets of any rank up to B-Rank regardless of the uNPC's rank.
- E Rank Pets: 2 Stat Raises (No stat exceeding C Rank)
- D Rank Pets: 7 Stat Raises (No stat exceeding C Rank)
- C Rank Pets: 9 Stat Raises (No stat exceeding B Rank)
- B Rank Pets: 14 Stat Raises (No stat exceeding B Rank)
- A Rank Pets: 17 Stat Raises (No stat exceeding A Rank)
- S Rank Pets: Only available to Clan/Bloodline Pets. Maximum of 19 Stat Raises (No stat exceeding S Rank)
Pet Control
The user can control a maximum number of pets within a thread. While you are capable of owning as many pets as you want, you will require a certain Base Intelligence in order to control multiple pets simultaneously. You must enter a topic with the Pets in order to control them. - E Tier Intelligence: May not command any pets
- D/C Tier Intelligence: Can command only 1 pet at a time
- B/A Tier Intelligence: Can command up to 2 pets at a time.
- S Tier Intelligence: Can command up to 3 pets at a time
Unique NPCs may only control a maximum of 1 pet as long as they meet the INT requirements to control 1 pet and cannot control pets of A or S Rank, regardless of the Unique NPC's Rank (unless they have a Pet Clan that allows higher ranks)
Pet Natural Weaponry
All pets will have their own base weaponry. All of these weapons must make sense with the animal and can be roleplayed out. These do not need to be apped, as they come naturally to the pet. The power will be equal to the rank of the pet. The Hardness will depend on the Constitution of the pet.
Pets cannot wield man-made weaponry.
Special Pet Weaponry
Exotic Pets are capable of creating 1 Special Weaponry. This can be anything from Firebreath or setting themselves on fire for a tackle. This is required to be apped if you decide to do this. This will have the same power as a technique (Power/Rank not exceeding the rank of the pet). All Special Pet Weaponry require, at least, a 1 post cooldown between use.
Pets and Scouting
Pets may only assist with Scouting if they are Exotic Pets (Pets that have both Mount and Flying). The user may mount a flying pet to scout, reducing Scouting time by 2 weeks. This does not stack with Summons nor Eagle Eye from Kyujutsu.
Pull Carts
Only pets with the Beast of Burden are allowed to pull Carts. Only TERRESTRIAL pets can pull carts (flying pets cannot pull carts). All Pull Carts comes with a yoke and all equipment necessary to rig up a Beast of Burden. Having multiple Beasts of Burden will not speed up the Cart's speed. The Cart will go only as fast as the Beast of Burden.

Price: 400,000 ryo |
Pet Progression
Pets cannot gain power, at all and are stuck at the rank they are purchased. Pets cannot be reset nor can they have their stats or perks changed. You would be required to buy another pet if you want something different. Pets cannot be made to wield weapons, armor, or other items.
