Pet

added to Combat also A pet in Shadowbane is a mob that is controlled by a player. Pets can be used to attack other players, attack other mobs, or even to attack yourself. Pets may be commanded via the pet interaction window, which appears when a new pet is obtained. A player may command a pet to attack, rest, or stop attacking; it may also be set to assist mode, where it will attack anything that attacks you or anything that you attack; or to standby mode, where it will only attack on command. Pets, like players and mobs, will die when their health is damaged below zero.
