Editing General Pet Guide (section)

=== Physical Tanking ===
Air pets are not, in general, strong physical tanks.  None of the categories have good growth for this type of situation.  If you plan on doing a lot of air-based combat, look to a [[Windwalking Piggy (pet)|Windwalking Piggy]] or [[Baby Blazing Phoenix]].

On the ground, [[Magmite (pet group)|Magmites]] and [[Glacial Walker]]s have very good Physical Defense and Attack growth, allowing them to keep the mob's attention while mitigation much of the damage; magic defense is, however, quite weak.  For pure physical, these really are the only choice without going to a rare or legendary pet, with the Walker being slightly better in almost every respect.

In the water, [[Turtle (pet group)|Turtles]] make the best pets for a physical tanking job until the [[Plumpfish (pet group)|Plumpfish]] at level 80
