The elemental pets make up four of the six types of pets available to magicians (with the other two being the less frequently used monster summoning pet and charmed summoned creature). There are four types of elementals: fire, water, air, and earth. Although the elementals are arguably the most powerful permanent pets in the game, each has strengths and weaknesses relative to the others, and skilled magician players will consider their situation and needs before choosing which element to summon.
