== Why Won't My Pet Attack? ==

The most common reason for this is that your pet is out of range of the monster.  Remember both that you can see monsters from beyond your pets attack range, and that your pet is probably a little bit behind you and so doesn't have quite the range you might think.  In short - get a bit closer and try again.

Also, of course, check that you didn't tell your pet to 'halt' five minutes ago, and left it in another room.  That's embarrassing.  Unsummon it and summon a different pet and pretend that you just wanted to change pets and did it on purpose.

The only other reason for not attacking is because your pet can't find a route.  The simplest example is when you tell a ground pet to attack an air monster that is too far up, or a water one too far from the shore.  It can also happen if there's too many walls in the way, or on a cliff edge.  (Especially prevalent in FB59 where the monsters will happily run about a thousand miles up the walls, leaving your pet scratching its head and the monster pinned.  To fix it, you just need to unsummon your pet, or hit 'follow' to try and drag the monster back down, but be aware that the aggro is likely to go haywire when you do.)
