| | Each pet is categorized into a group or family type. There are 10 pet families: Aquatic, Beast, Critter, Dragonkin, Elemental, Flying, Humanoid, Magic, Mechanical, and Undead.
Every pet family has its own strengths and weaknesses, as well as a passive bonus. This information is helpful to know so you can plan stronger attacks against pets who are vulnerable to them, and defend against pets whose attacks are strong against your pet type.
Strong vs. Weak
The table below shows which pets families are strongest or weakest versus other families. Strong attacks receive a 50% damage increase (base dmg x1.5) while weak attacks suffer a 33% damage penalty (base dmg x0.66).
The chart below (created by Khlammy) provides a make-shift "cheat sheet" that includes the info in the table above.

Passive Pet Family Bonuses
Each family conveys a passive bonus to pets of that type. These bonuses can have a significant impact on the outcome of a Pet Bettle under the right circumstances.
Aquatic: Harmful damage over time effects are reduced by 25% on Aquatic pets.
Beast: Beats deal 25% extra damage below half health.
Critter: Critters break out of crowd control effects more quickly.
Dragonkin: Dragons deal 50% additional damage on the next round after bringing a target's health below 25%.
Elemental: Elementals ignore all weather effects.
Flying: Flying creatures gain 50% extra speed while above 50% health.
Humanoid: Humanoids recover 4% of their maximum health if they dealt damage this round.
Magic: Magic pets cannot be dealt more than 40% of their maximum health in one attack.
Mehcanical: Mechanical pets come back to life once per battle, returning to 20% health.
Undead: Undead pets return to life immortal for one round when killed.
Ability Strengths and Weaknesses
Along with general families, pet abilities are also categorized by type. In most cases, a companion will have spells that correspond with its family type, but some pets will have unique abilities that fall under a different group.
For example, the Azure Whelpling belongs to the Dragonkin family. However, it has Beast, Magic, and Elemental abilities in addition to a Dragonkin attack. Different attacks are strong and weak against different family types. Having a diverse spell selection might increase your chances of being prepared with a strong attack against an opposing team.
