Pets in Polaris

Bosses can have pets now! And the pets can even drop for you when you kill the boss. How cool is that! I love to think these bosses are going to miss their pets terribly when you run off with them XD

In this guide, I will first take a look at the pets named after a boss, and after that give an overview of which other pets are dropped in Polaris.

Baba Yaga’s egg

Baba Yaga’s Egg is known to randomly cast stuns while still being under Baba Yaga’s protection, but loses that ability once it becomes yours. Instead, it comes with two Blinding Light item cards, with which you can stun all enemies for one round.

The pet has a pedigree of 59 and a hatch time of 5 minutes. It also — very important! — knows how to dance 🙂 Baba Yaga is situated in Forlorn Tayg. Your best chances of defeating her would be in doing it quickly!

Beastmaster’s Eagle

The Beastmaster’s Eagle is a Balance pet that gives a Bladestorm item card. While in the battle, he will sometimes cast Bladestorm, but that talent is not in his talent list. May cast Dragonblade on ally is though! This was a new talent for me, and I find it weirdly specific… Only on ally, not on the owner? Why!

Ludus the Beastmaster is located in Urville Station in the dungeon called The Kennels. You will have to kill one mob and solve a puzzle to get to Ludus. He’s a cheat, but it’s not that bad. Don’t use feints, unless you’re prepared for Ludus to switch it so that the higher percentage is on the Wizard. He will summon a minion every 4 rounds.

Chieftain’s Owl

The Numbskull Chieftain is a boss that wanders around the River of Frozen Tears with the Numbskull Ogres. This pet has a may cast as well: if you heal in the battle, the Owl will cast a Guiding Light on its owner. This is an actual talent on the pet as well, which you can unlock by training it up! The pet gets a Guidance item card, with which you can add ten percent accuracy to everyone on your team. This is actually a fairly good starter pet! A first generation Chieftain’s Owl has the possibility to manifest Spell-Proof, Pain-Giver, Life-Bringer and the may cast Storm heal.

Numbskill Chieftan is a cheater. Most of it can be ignored, but be aware that traps will cause the chieftan to cast a Legend Shield and a Dream Shield on himself. He also won’t allow you to blade 3 times in a row.

Detolli’s Dragon

Detolli’s Dragon comes with a Meteor Strike card. While still under the possession of Detolli the Destroyer, you can expect the pet to cheat cast Meteors. It will no longer do that when you get it, unfortunately, but hey, you do have the card!

Detolli the Destroyer resides in the Sunken Tower in Forlorn Tayg. It’s a tower with one mob fight before you get to Detolli. Detolli cheats, but I mostly just ignore his cheats. They’re nothing really major.

Ivanenko’s Tiger

This awesome pet comes with 2 Insane Bolt item cards if you train it to mega! The Tiger is dropped by Colonel Ivanenko, who roams Urville Station with the Gulag Guards.

Just like the other bosses, Colonel Ivanenko cheats, but not majorly. Bring your shatter if you’re going to feint, because the Colonel will cast a tower shield for every feint.

Vissarovich’s Icehound

You can get this adorable puppy from Warden Vissarovich in Cellblock A in the Basstille. You need to do four battles: 2 mobs followed by 2 bosses. Vissarovich cheats, but nothing that has a drastic effect on the battle as far as I can tell (I was waching TV at the same time, so I can’t be sure).

The Icehound will come with an Availing Hands item card

Ygor’s Grimoire

Here’s a pet that’s actually worth farming for! You can’t hatch for it, the result of any hatch will be your own pet or a Forgotten Grimoire. It gets a Poison item card at baby. The best talents you could hope for would be Death-Dealer and Armor Piercer.

The battle against Ygor takes place inside the Titan Forge in Kataba Iceblock. None of his cheats are very threatening. Just don’t be late, and carry shatter if your hitter is Life or Ice.

Other pets:

These pets are pretty cool as well — putting them down here doesn’t mean they’re less nice! I gave them a seperate little area because they’re dropped from so many different creatures in Polaris, unlike the earlier ones which only drop from one specific boss.
