    Why not leave it that way? I haven't gotten it myself but it seems rare (1 out of 28 or so?) and I have yet to see even a single pet. It would be nice to be rewarded to randomly getting an awesome pet especially since the odds are very low even to come across a pet.

    Ok, great!

    Even if the boost was cut to 2/3 it'd still be a massive health gain. Though yeah it's not too bad if there are pets that are clearly better than other pets, since it's a 1/29 chance or so. Balance isn't a huge issue with pets since the rarity limits it, but a health increase that huge was a mistake and it's easy to fix.

    Slug was the first pet I ever found. Don't think I even made it off that floor! What a wasted opportunity...

    My first was a slug as well, but mine was the health restore +5%...

    I just realized I couldn't beat any 2nd level dungeon except with the warrior (love that shield). And then I couldn't beat the 3rd level dungeon with the warrior. Damn this game is hard. Even now, tried again, still getting whooped. I feel like I may never beat this game..

    So this slug pet does it have a chance to drop any level and any chest or what is the criteria?

    I found mine in the 2nd dungeon stage. But I think they're in every dungeon...

    They're found in cages (you'll know when you see it), and stay with that character until you die or complete the dungeon.

    Also, it's a 15% chance per floor to happen right now. We'll probably increase that, though. For comparison, 20% is the chance of a Shrine Statue.

    No, not permanent.

    Is there any chance a pet menu will be added, showing which pets you've found?

    As a WS veteran, you know better than to ask that. What RC giveth, RC taketh away!

    Yeah, this has been suggested and there's a pretty good chance we'll get that in. I think we could put that in the Extras menu.

    Lizards and slugs right now have really good health bonuses, though I think the slug currently isn't too OP because it's a one-time max health gain. Because it doesn't influence per-floor health regen, it rewards players who clear a floor with little damage taken.

    The second-tier lizard (Red salamander +10 health regen per floor) is too generous for Story runs, but I imagine it helps a lot for Endless runs.

    Dang, I found a little ghost as my first pet. Sad that it isn't permanent. Kind of a bummer, tbh. I bought this game day one and never finished it with anyone but I got to the final area using the Warrior. Unfortunately, I changed devices on Christmas and realized that I have to start over from scratch, but ot isn't so bad considering I wasn't THAT far or involved yet.

    Also, is it just me or was the hat drop rate raises pretty significantly or am I just really lucky tonight. I have only played 3-4 games so far since I restarted and I have already found 6 hats!

    Hmm, the game keeps crashing after using the teleport in the 3rd dungeon when playing as Warrior. Anyone having the same issue?

    could we have the option for permanent pets like the hats? I realise that this might not have been used because of the added pet bonuses, ie if you use one lizard and find another, the cumulative bonuses could be OP. But hear this :

    Could we have the pets we discovered be permanent and can accompany us, but like the hats, without any bonuses? - except their company :) pleaseeee ? :D

    Edit : so you find a pet the first time, it gives you the bonus for this dungeon, and you have it "unlocked" after you finish your game, to summon it anytime but with no bonuses.
    So in the above example, you could have 2 slugs, one that you set free from a cage with the normal buff until the end of the dungeon, and one without any buffs, that you summoned in the option screen like the hat.

    Got the rocketcat pet! Love how this game just doesn't stop updating. Only problem is that some of the pets are severely OP right now, and I wouldn't want to see WS become "too easy" (no offense to people who are struggling right now).
