I purposefully left out the dominated only creatures. I Didnt do some like Belbus as well since they will be reimagined to some degree before returning in MO2.
P: = passive abilities
U: = Utilities, activatable abilities meant for utility.
A: = Special attacks.
The main Idea is the larger the pet (mostly based on health) they will be focused towards larger group. smaller animals will be focused on single player combat. With medium some where in between. Non combat pets like pigs will give 3 passives instead of a attach. Non Combat pets will focus on life skills instead. Take into account that most animals will have armor eventually and I am also pushing for the larger animals to start doing lower damage AoE attacks instead of single target high damage attacks.
Along with toning down pets like bears to be slightly slower, attack less often along with this to be further affected by armor.
Fear/Pain. A mechanic that each animal has a threshold before it temporarily run away. If a animal has a bar of 50 like a wolf then you would need to do 50 damage to it over time to make it run away. Each tick the wolf can lose 5 points of pain/fear. Wolf can also be armored as well. When the bar feels up the pet will run some distance away to reset its pain mete before returning. Pets have passives that induce fear that will limit other pets pain/fear meter by a % of the meters max. So as a example Alpha predator 1 against a wolf would mean 30% less pain/fear meter. So 50 would be 35 but wolves have alpha predator 3 which would add 10% of the pain/fear meter to their max afterwards, so it would really be a max of 40 if a Alpha Predator 1 was nearby a wolf. The debufs to the max pain fear meter only takes into account the highest debuff to it.
The following is my suggestions for the pets abilities. If you have your own ideas share them.
