Thanks for the effort, I appreciate it!  
I can beat the level, but I was hoping to add some more creative tools to the arsenal. I can’t get the pet to work on other levels (not pet-centered) either:(

When is the metalic spider going to release? It seems like it can attack.

The Metallic Spider is currently an ogre-only pet.

It wouldn’t be fair if only the humans had pets!

From experience, I know that pets unfortunately can't collect coins, only health potions.

Although you don’t usually want mushrooms, pets are capable of fetching mushrooms 🙂

But the ones currently availible (the Cougar and the Wolf Pup) can only collect health potions (and keys, I think)

I recently got a raven as a pet but my pet won’t collect any key.

That’s weird. Maybe that’s the old version of the raven that can’t collect keys. The new version is currently being developed, and hopefully that can collect keys.  
I use the Wolf Pup and that works just fine.

Works on my end.

Ok here is my code.

```python
def onSpawn (event):
    pet.findNearestByType("potion")
    pet.fetch("potion")
    pet.findNearestByType("gold-key")
    pet.fetch("gold-key")

skeleton = pet.findNearestByType("skeleton")
pet.on("spawn", onSpawn)
