Traditional Pets

Most pets that a player can summon are non-controllable. The exceptions are henchmen listed above. See Non-controllable pets.

Gladiators, Heavies and Turrets

Gladiators, Heavies and Turrets are not summoned by players, but are controllable through /petcom commands and the pet window.

NPC pets

Several missions involve rescuing an NPC (more acurately, a critter), and some of these NPC's will fight as if they were your pet. They are wholly uncontrollable and do not show up in the pet window.
