Donation Pets

Donation pets are pre-bonded, controlled creatures offered through The Emporium / Donation Shop. After redeeming donation credit you receive a claim statue in your backpack. Double-clicking the statue spawns the pet at your feet, already bonded to you.

All claim statues behave the same way:

• The statue must be double-clicked from your backpack. If it isn't, you'll see “That must be in your backpack.”
• You need free follower slots before you can claim. The Stygian Dragon Mount requires 2 free slots; every other donation pet requires 1 free slot. (The Dread Dragon Mount only requires 1 free slot to claim even though it occupies 2 slots once spawned.)
• On a successful claim the pet is spawned bonded, set to your control, ordered to Stay, and the statue is consumed.
• Minimum Taming skill required to keep the pet (once claimed): 92.1 for every donation pet.

Eight pets are tracked in the donation pet system: Lurg, Manglar, Desolator, Wraith Ant, Venom Spider, Stygian Dragon Mount, Dread Dragon Mount, and Slasher of Veils.

A fast melee bonded pet that poisons on hit and erupts in acid when wounded or killed. Body 737, hue 1155.

• Burst Sac. Once per fight, if the spider is below 50 HP and survives a hit, there is a 2% chance to arm a burst sac. The next melee attacker that strikes it within 1 tile is splashed with acid.
• Death Acid. When killed, the spider spills acid on its corpse.
• Counter-attack. On any melee or spell hit taken, 10% chance to release an area attack: 15-20 unresisted energy damage plus Regular poison on every valid enemy (other creatures and hostile players, but not its owner) within 3 tiles and in line of sight. Does not trigger if it has been bard-provoked.

A poisonous melee bonded pet that shares the Venom Spider's combat profile but with a smaller HP pool and no Heal ability. Body 805, hue 20000.

• Player-safe targeting. A tamed Wraith Ant cannot be directed to attack other players.
• Burst Sac and Death Acid. Identical to the Venom Spider.
• Counter-attack. 10% chance on any melee or spell hit taken to deal 15-20 unresisted energy damage plus Regular poison to enemies within 3 tiles (LOS-checked). Does not trigger if bard-provoked.

A heavy-hitting mage pet with very high cold and poison resistances. Body 314, hue randomized 2498-2644 per spawn.

• Player-safe targeting. A tamed Desolator cannot be directed to attack other players.

A high-damage mage pet with a massive HP pool and a dragon breath weapon. Body 741.

• Player-safe targeting. A tamed Slasher cannot be directed to attack other players.
• Counter-attack. 15% chance on any melee or spell hit taken to lash out at every nearby enemy. When tamed, the attack skips players, the owner, and any friendly creatures. Each remaining target within 3 tiles (LOS-checked) takes 35-45 unresisted energy damage with a lightning bolt visual. Does not trigger if bard-provoked.

The strongest of the donation mounts: a ridable dragon with maxed combat skills, both Heal and Dragon Breath, and a fire counter-attack. Hue randomized 2671-2705.

• Player-safe targeting. A tamed Dread Dragon cannot be directed to attack other players.
• Counter-attack. 15% chance on any melee or spell hit taken. When tamed, the attack skips players, the owner, and friendly creatures. Each remaining target within 3 tiles (LOS-checked) takes 50-60 unresisted fire damage. Does not trigger if bard-provoked.

A ridable dragon with mixed physical/fire/energy damage and a fire counter-attack. Cheaper and lighter than the Dread Dragon. Hue randomized 2671-2705.

• Player-safe targeting. A tamed Stygian Dragon cannot be directed to attack other players.
• Counter-attack. 15% chance on any melee or spell hit taken. Each enemy creature within 3 tiles takes 20-30 unresisted fire damage. Does not trigger if bard-provoked. (Player safety in tamed form depends on the player-safe targeting override above — see Technical references.)

A high-poison-output melee pet with a damage-over-time rage attack. Body 792, hue randomized 2671-2718.

• Player-safe targeting. A tamed Manglar cannot be directed to attack other players.
• Random weapon ability. Each swing uses either Mortal Strike or Bleed Attack at random.
• Blood Bath rage. 10% chance on a successful melee strike to start a bleed: the target takes 2 HP per second for 5 seconds (5 ticks total). If the target is already raging, the timer is refreshed and the message “The creature continues to rage!” is shown.

A heavy-hitting troglodyte champion with very high HP, a Crushing Blow weapon ability, and skill-based self-healing.

• Wraith Ant does not have a Heal ability, even though it otherwise shares the Venom Spider's combat profile. The Venom Spider does have Heal; the Wraith Ant does not.
• The Slasher's counter-attack deals energy damage, not poison. Older catalog text describing a “poison area” counter is outdated.
• The Dread Dragon's counter-attack deals fire damage, not poison. Same outdated catalog text.
• Stygian Dragon Mount claim requires 2 free follower slots. Every other donation pet only requires 1 free slot at claim time, including the Dread Dragon Mount (which still occupies 2 slots once spawned).
• The Venom Spider, Wraith Ant, Slasher of Veils, Dread Dragon Mount, and Stygian Dragon Mount are all “player-safe”: while controlled, they cannot be directed to initiate harm against other players.

• The Stygian Dragon's counter-attack routine is an older variant: its internal target filter only excludes the pet's owner, not all players. While tamed, the pet's player-safe targeting override is what prevents the counter from striking other players.
• The forced 92.1 Min Taming Skill applied by the claim statue overrides the values set in the Venom Spider and Wraith Ant constructors (91.2 in each). The other donation pets already define 92.1 themselves.
