Robert Craig is the pet tamer for one of the Legion World Quests and part of the Family Familiar achievement.
Robert is using only Beast pets, making Mechanical the obvious choice to counter him.1. Levelling a level 1 pet with this fight:
- Lil' Bling (1 2 1)
- Level Pet (any level)
- Darkmoon Tonk (1 1 2)
Start with Extra Plating, Make it Rain, then SMCKTHAT.EXE until Thrugtusk is dead.
Against Wumpas Make it Rain, then SMCKTHAT.EXE until he is dead as well.
Swap to your Level Pet when Baeloth comes in, then to the Tonk.
Shock and Awe + Ion Cannon should do the trick.Step-by-step guide: Xu-Fu's Pet Guides
2. Family Familiar:
These are a bit harder depending on the family, but possible indeed:
Good Luck!

I modified the strat outlined by Throthgar29 (here) because Wumpas would never just DIE to my Hydraling (but it was always really close). I added the steps to use in the comments of the original post, here is a link.Beast: Best of the Beasts
- Team: [npc=97840] (1,1,2) (alt) | [npc=70451] (2,1,2) (alt - 2,2,1) | Options...ish*

Full disclosure: the Baeloth section has significantly higher RNG than anyone would like and I'm going to put more effort into testing this part when I'm able to do so (WQ expired during testing).Spoiler

Just kept turret up and hit him, didn't heal.
[npc=77221] 1,2,1
Since I killed 2 with gnome I only used Wind up - Supercharge - Windup to kill last one
[npc=55356] 1,1,X
As a backup.If you have 2nd enemy in low health when gnome dies, switch to tonk and most likely you don't need to use starlette
