Editing Venomancer Pets (section)

=== Choosing a new Pet ===

The first thing to mention is that you can (and should) have multiple pets.  As a venomancer, you have more slots open than other classes, via quests.

You can also buy cages to expand the pet bag further.

However, if you want another pet and have run out of slots then you can always go to the pet manager and un-hatch an existing pet.  It will keep all of its stats and levels and such, ready for you to hatch out again later.  you can keep it in your bank, or hand it down to a younger venomancer.

When choosing a new pet you need to consider two things:
# Its skills.
# Its stats.

You can see both after you've tamed it (whilst its still an egg, using the tool-tip) 

As a general rule though:  Pets in the same 'family' - that is, pets with the same icon (for example, all the different cactopods are one family, but there are several wolf families) will have the same kinds of skill.
The lower level family members will have the fewest, and lowest level skills, the highest will have the most.
However - if brought up to the same level, those initially lower-leveled pets will have better stats.  A higher attack and defense.  Though the runspeed tends to lag behind.

Some pets in a family often have skills which you couldn't teach them yet - the snakevalley wolves, for example, have flesh-ream 4 but you could only teach level 2 to another pet of that level.

Rare pets also come with skills which are very hard to get any other way.
