			== Pet Death Penalty ==

			When a tamed pet dies in combat, there is a chance it will suffer '''permanent stat loss''' as a consequence. This penalty only applies to '''bonded''' pets — unbonded pets simply die with no stat loss (though losing an unbonded pet means losing it entirely, which is far worse).

			=== How It Works ===

			Each time a bonded pet is killed, there is a '''5% chance''' that the pet suffers a stat penalty. If the penalty triggers, the pet loses '''5% of every stat''' it currently has:

			* Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence
			* Hit Points, Stamina, Mana
			* All five resistances (Physical, Fire, Cold, Energy, Poison)
			* Minimum and Maximum Damage

			The loss is calculated as 1/20th of the pet's current value in each stat, rounded down. For example, a pet with 500 Strength would lose 25 Strength, while a pet with 60 Fire Resist would lose 3 Fire Resist. Stats will never be reduced below their loss amount, so a pet cannot be reduced to zero through death penalties — but repeated deaths can still chip away at a once-powerful pet significantly.

			'''The penalty is permanent.''' Lost stats do not regenerate on their own. The only way to recover them is by spending Ability Points through the pet's level-up interface, or through further breeding to produce stronger offspring.

			=== Bio-Engineered Pets ===

			Bio-Engineered pets face a harsher death penalty. When a bonded Bio-Engineered pet dies, the chance of stat loss increases to '''25%''' (compared to 5% for normal pets). The amount lost is still 5% of each stat — it's just five times more likely to happen. Bio pets are powerful but require more careful handling to protect your investment.

			=== Summary ===

			{\| class="wikitable" style="width:60%;"
			! Pet Type !! Chance of Stat Loss !! Amount Lost
			\|-
			\| Normal Tamed Pet (bonded) \|\| 5% per death \|\| 5% of all stats
			\|-
			\| Bio-Engineered Pet (bonded) \|\| 25% per death \|\| 5% of all stats
			\|-
			\| Unbonded Pet \|\| N/A \|\| Pet is lost entirely
			\|}

			=== Tips for Avoiding Stat Loss ===

			* '''Bond your pets''' — an unbonded pet that dies is gone forever, which is worse than any stat penalty.
			* '''Don't let pets fight recklessly.''' While 5% is a low chance, it adds up over many deaths. A pet that dies repeatedly will eventually get unlucky.
			* '''Bio pets deserve extra caution.''' With a 25% trigger rate, a Bio pet that dies four times will statistically suffer at least one round of stat loss.
			* '''Use the house Training Elemental for safe leveling.''' The training elemental is invulnerable and won't kill your pet, making it the safest way to gain XP with zero death risk.

			== Pet Loyalty ==

			Every pet has a '''Loyalty''' rating that runs from '''0 to 100''', where 100 is "Wonderfully Happy." A freshly tamed pet starts at maximum loyalty. Loyalty is not just flavor — it directly affects whether your pet '''obeys your commands''', and a neglected pet will eventually go wild and abandon you entirely.

			'''Keeping your pet fed is the single most important thing you can do to maintain loyalty.'''

			=== How Loyalty Goes Down ===

			Loyalty drops in two ways:

			* '''Passive decay:''' Every hour your pet is out in the world, it loses '''10 loyalty'''. From a full 100, that means a completely neglected pet will go wild in roughly '''10 hours''' of active time.
			* '''Disobeyed commands:''' Every time your pet '''fails''' to obey an order, it loses '''3 loyalty''' (and plays its anger sound). Every command it '''successfully''' obeys restores '''1 loyalty'''.

			Because failures cost 3 but successes only return 1, a pet that starts refusing commands can spiral downward quickly — the lower its loyalty, the more likely the next command is to fail, which drops loyalty further.

			{\| class="wikitable" style="width:60%;"
			! Loyalty Level !! What Happens
			\|-
			\| 100 \|\| Wonderfully Happy — no penalty to obedience
			\|-
			\| Below 10 \|\| Pet "looks around desperately" and makes distressed sounds — a warning sign
			\|-
			\| 0 \|\| '''Pet goes wild''' and is permanently lost
			\|}

			'''Note:''' Taking damage in combat does '''not''' lower loyalty. A pet getting beaten up in a fight loses no loyalty from the hits themselves — only from the passive hourly decay and from disobeyed commands.

			=== Loyalty and Obedience ===

			When you issue a command, the pet rolls to decide whether it obeys. That roll is based primarily on your '''Animal Taming''' and '''Animal Lore''' skills versus the pet's tame difficulty — but loyalty is applied directly on top of it. Every point of loyalty below maximum reduces the pet's chance to obey, so a pet at half loyalty is significantly less reliable than one at full.

			Even at '''100 loyalty''', obedience is never a guaranteed 100% — there is always a small chance to disobey, and an under-skilled tamer commanding a difficult pet can see frequent refusals regardless of how happy the pet is. Full loyalty simply removes the loyalty '''penalty''' so your skills can do their job.

			=== How to Restore Loyalty ===

			* '''Feed your pet its preferred food.''' Feeding a pet the food type it likes restores its loyalty straight back to maximum (100). This is the primary and intended way to keep pets happy — make a habit of feeding before and after hunts.
			* '''Use a Feed Bucket.''' For players who don't want to babysit loyalty manually, a feed bucket is a convenient way to keep pets topped off automatically.
			* '''Unshrinking resets loyalty.''' As noted in the [[#Shrinking and Storing Pets\|Shrinking and Storing Pets]] section, a pet's loyalty is set to maximum whenever it is unshrunk — so pets stored in shrink items or a Pet Storage Key never go wild while stored.

			'''Bottom line:''' Feed your pets. A well-fed pet sitting at full loyalty obeys reliably and never risks going wild. A neglected one becomes harder to command and will eventually leave for good.

			A shrunk or stabled pet does not lose loyalty.
