Pets are mobs controlled, to a certain degree, by certain player jobs and enemies who use those jobs. The controlling character is referred to as the pet's "master". A pet follows his master around, if able, and assists him in battle. Currently, four jobs can effectively utilize pets: Summoner, Beastmaster, Puppetmaster, and Dragoon. Additionally, Geomancers' Luopans are considered pets, although they are immobile and have no commands. Bards also have a song to charm pets, but they cannot control their pets without a Beastmaster subjob. Each job's pets function differently.
Summoners' Avatars[]
Summoners use magic to call forth avatars and elemental spirits as their pets. Avatars assist summoners in physical combat and by using abilities known as Blood Pacts. Avatars fight when commanded and defend their masters automatically if their masters are attacked (unless the avatar is otherwise occupied).
Charmed Pets[]
Certain monsters can be charmed by a Beastmaster or Bard and commanded to fight along side them.
The following monster families can be charmed:
Called Beasts[]
Beastmasters can also use the job ability Call Beast if they have a Beastmaster jug equipped to call a beast to aid them.
- See Familiars for information about called beasts.

Puppetmasters' Automatons[]
Puppetmasters use constructed automatons to assist them in battle, relying on various attachments to augment their pet's abilities. These automatons can be outfitted with different frames to suit the different needs of their master. Some examples are melee frames, ranged attack frames, and magic casting frames. Unlike other pets, Automatons have abilities that can be triggered with the use of exclusive pet commands called Maneuvers.
Dragoons' Wyverns[]
Dragoons share a bond with an infant dragon, which they can Call to assist them in battle. Wyverns aid the dragoon with breath attacks and healing abilities. A Dragoon's wyvern cannot be commanded to fight; it merely follows the example of its master. Wyvern engage when their masters engage, and they disengage when their masters do so. Wyverns' abilities are dependent on the subjob chosen by the dragoon. See Dragoon Wyvern for more details.
Call Wyvern is not available if Dragoon is set as the player's support job.
Geomancers' Luopans[]
When a geocolure spell is cast, a pet Luopan appears at the point where the enemy target is standing. This Luopan generates an aura that enhances nearby allies or enfeebles nearby enemies. Only enemies that are engaging the caster's party are affected by the enfeebling auras. Luopans' HP constantly decreases, limiting their lifespans. They can be recalled by using the level 5 ability Full Circle. Doing so restores a small amount of the caster's MP. Because they occupy the pet slot, a Geomancer can have only one Luopan active at a time.
Luopans are not available if Geomancer is set as the player's support job because geocolure spells require the caster to use a handbell, a type of Geomancer-exclusive instrument.
Enemies' Pets[]
Beastmen, Undead, Humanoids, certain Prime Avatars, and some other monsters that use one of the main four pet jobs may also summon their pets to assist them. Enemy beastmasters often call pets relevant to their area. Enemy summoners either summon elemental spirits to assist them or full avatars if the enemy is particularly powerful. Puppetmasters' automatons aid them. Enemy dragoons often do not call wyverns in Original and Zilart Areas, but they typically do so in Promathia Areas and Aht Urhgan Areas.
/ignorepet[]
This command allows players to ignore fellow player's pets. When this command is turned on, a player can no longer be target (and be hindered by) other friendly player's pets. They can still target enemy pets, as well as pets of players in PvP areas such as Ballista, but when scrolling through targets, normal players' pets will not be targettable.
