Salamander
It sleeps in the furnace and is the only pet that works it: faster smelts and cheaper recipes. Females are rare and wear their own art.
Slots, prestige by prestige
You do not pick bonuses off a list: the game draws three at random and you keep one. And a slot only opens every other prestige, the odd ones offer a swap instead, trading one held bonus for another.
On every slot won, the game draws 3 bonuses out of 10 and lets you keep one: the other 9 go back into the pool. A companion with a pool of 11 draws the same 3, out of 10 bonuses left aside. At prestige 10 the pet holds 6 of 10: four will always stay out.
What each bonus is worth
Every bonus starts at a ceiling and reaches a higher one at prestige 10. Two of these bonuses hit a hard cap that prestige does not move. Two of them are never reached.

None of these figures is a given: they are max-level values, and a companion below that only gets a share of them, in proportion to the ground already covered. A prestige resets XP to zero and pushes the max level from 50 to 60, but the bonus does not fall back with the level: it restarts at the ceiling it had reached and climbs from there to the new one. It takes 265 500 XP to reach that new ceiling, against 183 750 for the first climb.
What it does in the dungeon
Striker. Equipped, it goes down with you and bites after each attack that lands.
Its strength follows its level, its prestige and its gauges. A companion that is starving, parched or away exploring stays at the entrance.
The dungeon, step by stepIts six looks, and how you get them

Every look carries its own sprites across the 8 animation states: idle, playing, walking, eating, drinking, sleeping, sad, happy.
Where to meet it
One area, a window of fourteen levels, and that is all: past level 38, the door shuts and does not reopen.
Weight is not a percentage: it is a share in a draw no other species takes part in.
