ok i know it says in the descriptions that the summoners classes can have pets and they come in all shapes and sizes. With different skill types and that some can heal there owner while others focus on dealing damage and others act like a shield for there owner getting the monsters attention of them. Well since those who have chosen to be summoners have not selected a pet i am guessing the fact the your pets can have their own skills was not clear. Like monsters in the game have skills of their own and the summonings can also have their own skills the pets you have can have their own skills. At LV one they start with three and like us they will get more as they LV up and they LV up with their owner. Monsters and summonings will have two skills to start of with and they to get more as they get stronger. i am sorry if i did not make this clear in the description.
