Pets
Captains and Lore-masters have the ability to summon pets: NPCs that assist them and can usually be controlled in detail.
A Lore-master can summon an animal companion, or pet, to their side. These animals have special abilities and are able to assist the Lore-master in combat. Lore-masters can also summon non-combat pets which cannot attack nor take commands, but solely serve a cosmetic purpose. All player classes can have non-combat 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 Talismans for Lore-masters or Armaments for Captains.

Pet Controls
Lore-masters and Captains can control their combat pets through control bars. Pets may be set to auto-cast abilities by right clicking them. These have the same setup for all pets and work as follows:
Commands (first three buttons):
- Attack: Attack the currently selected target.
- Follow: Move to Lore-master and then act according to his mode.
- Stay: Stay at current position and act according to his mode.
Modes (next four buttons):
- Aggressive: Will enter combat when valid targets are detected.
- Passive: Will not enter combat unless commanded to.
- Guard: Will enter combat if attacked or someone attacks Lore-master.
- Assist: Will attack the Lore-master's target.
- The modes Aggressive, Passive and Guard are mutually exclusive. A thoughtful Lore-master will set their pet to passive and control all actions with commands or skills while in a fellowship or raid..
Special command (next button):
- Return to Master (Lore-master pets): Transport directly to the Lore-master's side. Can only be used if out of combat.
- Rally! (Captain pets): Transport directly to the Captain's side. Can only be used if out of combat.
Pet specific skills (last three buttons):
- View these skills by visiting the specific pet's link.
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.
