''See also: [[Venomancer Pets]]''

The ability to command pets is what sets Venomancers apart from other magic users (or in some cases melee). Your pet can be your tank, your bait, your lending hand, or your trump card in a tight spot. The following pets are the most recommended, but never let anyone lead you to believe that you have to use these pets, as many pets have many different uses. When used properly, any pet can serve you well. 

'''When Using a Pet For Tanking'''<br>
The best pet for tanking and the most recommended is and probably always will be a Legendary Hercules pet. However they are very expensive and time consuming to obtain, so in the meantime, it is recommended to use the following:
#Glacial Walker (melee tank)
#Shadou Cub (Rare baby pet - see the [[Rare Pet Taming Guide]])
#Eldergoth Marksman (ranged tank)
#Treefrog (this pet is debated in some circles as a good magic attack tank) (Rare baby pet)

'''When Using a pet For Luring'''<br>
Any pet can be useful for luring, however a pet with good speed is essential- not only will it move things along quickly, but it will allow the pet to escape with minimal damage. The following pet is most recommended but any pet with decent speed can do nicely:
*Kowlin (Rare pet - see the [[Rare Pet Taming Guide]])

'''When Using a Pet for PvP'''<br>
The most feared pet in the PvP arena is the Legendary Phoenix. Like its counterpart Hercules, it is very expensive and time consuming to obtain. In the meantime, the following pets are recommended:
#Petite Sawfly (flying pet)
#Varicose Scorpion

'''Rare Pets'''<br>
Rare/baby pets are certain pets that only spawn in one or two particular places at a time. In order to capture one of these pets you must look in the following places:
#Cuddly Pup - 315, 753 and 299, 764
#Tabby Plumdrop - 362, 690 and 397, 619
#Treefrog - 240, 555 and 196, 513
#Shadou Cub - 200, 452 and 288, 458
#Windwalking Piggy -  403, 643 at elevation 36 (you will need to have obtained your flying mount to reach this one)
#Snow Hare (considered 'semi-rare' due to it's faster respawn rate than the other pets) - 500, 1007; 468, 924; and 95, 810
#Kowlin - 462, 427
#Armored Bear - 672, 633
Acquiring these pets has become something of an art form- you need to have decent channeling equips, potions, and a little bit of luck in order to outdo your competition and be the first one to tame one of these little guys.

'''More Pet Space'''<br>
Alas, you want many pets, but only have so many spaces for them. Don't fret- there are a few different ways to give you more slots.
*'''Pet Skill Trainer Quest'''
**The first option open to you is a quest you can obtain from a 'Pet Skill Trainer' NPC. She will increase your pet bag slots by one if you can bring her the following items:
***First Slot Increase- 20 Hay
***Second Slot Increase- 50 Fruit
***Third Slot Increase - 100 Fungus
*'''Cage and Super Cage Extensions'''
**In the boutique, exists the Cage and Super Cage extensions. The Cage will increase your pet bag by one for each Cage used. The Super Cage extension will extend you're your pet bag to the maximum of 10 slots.
