Captains and Lore-masters have the ability to summon '''pets''': NPCs that assist them in combat and can usually be controlled in detail. This page covers the commands used to control these pets.

A [[Lore-master]] can obtain [[Cosmetic Pets|cosmetic pets]] after acquiring the trait [[Friend of the Wild (Passive Skill)]]. Tomes are acquired from drops, vendors and by barter from a [[Lore-master Trainer]]. These are in addition to the normal acquisition of cosmetic pets. 

A [[Captain]] can summon a [[herald]], also known as a pet, to aid them in combat as well as buff anyone in their fellowship within range. 

The appearance of pets can be changed by using [[Lore-master Items Index#Lore-master Talismans|Talismans]] for Lore-masters or [[Captain Items Index#Captain Armaments|Armaments]] for Captains. Some can be crafted, or they can be bartered from the relevant trainer.

== Pet Controls ==
Lore-masters and Captains can control their combat pets through control bars. Pets may be set to auto-perform abilities by right clicking them. These have the same setup for all pets and work as follows:

Standard pet command bar:<br>
[[File:Standard pet skill bar.jpg]]

Commands (first three buttons):
*{{:Attack|mode=imlink}} Attack the currently selected target.
*{{:Follow|mode=imlink}} Move to Lore-master and then act according to his mode.
*{{:Stay|mode=imlink}} Stay at current position and act according to his mode. 

Modes (next thee buttons):
*{{:Passive Mode|mode=imlink}} Will not enter combat unless commanded to.
*{{:Guard Mode|mode=imlink}} Will enter combat if attacked or someone attacks Lore-master.
*{{:Toggle Assist|mode=imlink}} Will attack the Lore-master's target.
The modes Passive and Guard are mutually exclusive, Toggle assist can be toggled in either mode.

Special command (next button):
*{{:Return to Master|mode=imlink}} (Lore-master pets): Transport directly to the Lore-master's side. Can only be used if out of combat.
*{{:Rally! (Captain)|mode=imlink}} (Captain pets): Transport directly to the Captain's side. Can only be used if out of combat.

: These commands are triggered by specific skills in your skill bar and cannot be initiated from the pet command bar. The commands differ for each pet. Refer to each pet page for details.

Additional pet commands are available by typing /pet in the chat box or right-clicking the pet's portrait:
:'''Rename''': Opens a box in which you can enter your chosen pet's name. Names (as opposed to the default pet names) cannot have spaces.
:'''Release''': Dismisses your pet.
