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.

• 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
• Pets are marked with a special flag that makes them ignore the player
• Pets use the same AI as their original mob type

Pets can be created through various means:

• Using the Sacrificial Sword to convert enemies
• Using spells like Summon Beast
• Through specific items or level mechanisms
• Using the Scroll of Domination
• Using the Spider Charm to create spider pets
• Using the Chaos Staff random effects
• Using the Possess Spell for temporary control

• 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
• Pets do not trigger traps
• Pets can be healed by area healing effects
• Pets are affected by buffs and debuffs

• Bosses cannot be converted to pets
