+====== Pet ======
+==== Description ====
+A pet in Remixed Pixel Dungeon is a mob that has been converted to fight alongside the player. Pets behave similarly to regular mobs but are friendly to the player and will attack enemies.
+==== Mechanics ====
+  * Pets follow the player around the dungeon
+  * Pets will attack enemies that come into range
+  * Pets have the same stats and abilities as their original mob form
+  * Pets do not take up inventory space
+  * Pets remain in the dungeon when the player teleports away or ascends/descends stairs
+==== Creation ====
+Pets can be created through various means:
+  * Using the [[rpd:sacrificial_sword|Sacrificial Sword]] to convert enemies
+  * Using spells like [[rpd:summon_beast_spell|Summon Beast]]
+  * Through specific items or level mechanisms
+==== Behavior ====
+  * Pets will prioritize attacking enemies over following the player
+  * Pets are affected by area of effect attacks (AOE)
+  * Pets can die if their HP reaches zero
+  * Pets cannot be directly controlled by the player
+==== Limitations ====
+  * Bosses cannot be converted to pets
+  * NPCs cannot be converted to pets
+  * Some special enemies cannot become pets
+  * The player can only have a limited number of pets at once
