OK, I've checked the source, and it looks like it has nothing to do with the pet being a non-eating monster or not. It seems to me that pets will only become hostile if left alone on a level for a very long time, or if revived after being abused a lot. In all other cases (mounting, kicking a steed, or even directly attacking), the monster will become peaceful when tameness reach 0.

If a pet's tameness reaches 4 and it is inediate, will it still be all right? [[Special:Contributions/75.58.127.95|75.58.127.95]] 21:53, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

Ack... after going through the source for some references, I see that the devs use wild to mean hostile, and peaceful to mean peaceful. I used feral for hostile and wild for peaceful ex-pets... either I got that impression from stuff out there in chatlogs and community publications, or else I just thought it sounded good and went with it. Should the terminology be changed to be more in-line with the source comments? Or does it make sense enough as written. I admit I pretty much just speculated about stuff like the relative tameness scale, but I think it's a fair gauge of how the system works... MysterX 06:33, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

hostile or peaceful?

OK, I've checked the source, and it looks like it has nothing to do with the pet being a non-eating monster or not. It seems to me that pets will only become hostile if left alone on a level for a very long time, or if revived after being abused a lot. In all other cases (mounting, kicking a steed, or even directly attacking), the monster will become peaceful when tameness reach 0.

Tameness of ki-rin

If a pet's tameness reaches 4 and it is inediate, will it still be all right? 75.58.127.95 21:53, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
