• [pet-ability=170] (hit)
  (if necessary) [pet-ability=420]

• Bring in Giant Bone Spider
• Conditional: use [pet-ability=780] the round after Eg's [pet-ability=568], otherwise...
• [pet-ability=380]

*Note: Armageddon made it hard to test the last bit of this fight as much as I wanted, but Snowman was very strong in all attempts. If you have a very different experience, consider a Sproutling with a heal and [pet-ability=1343] (you can search for abilities in the pet journal).

Aquatic: Aquatic Acquiescence
- Team: [npc=26050] (1,1,2) (alts) | [npc=26056] (1,1,2) (alts) | [npc=29726] (2,2,1) (alts)

Beast: Best of the Beasts
- Team: [npc=111421] (2,1,1) | [npc=54491] (2,1,2) (alts) | [npc=93142] (1,2,2)
Owl kitty is new but relatively easy to get once you've started Nightfallen rep. See comment here for more info. There aren't a lot of Beasts with multiple attacks strong vs. Aquatic or Mechanicals at this time.

Spoiler

vs. Gulp

• [pet-ability=1398], then [pet-ability=184] until Gulp dies (goal is 1-2, can take up to 3 rounds)

vs. Egcellent

• [pet-ability=492]
• Swap to Monkey
• [pet-ability=354] (charge)
• [pet-ability=354] (throw)
  If Eg still alive, Pass (will Feign Death).

vs. Red Wire

• [pet-ability=492], then [pet-ability=347] until Monkey dies (1-2)
• Bring in Netherpup
• [pet-ability=362] + [pet-ability=792] should push Wire to revive, usually a final [pet-ability=110] will finish.

If necessary, clean up with Owl Kitty.

Critter: Mousing Around
- Team: [npc=23258] (2,1,2) | [npc=22943] (2,1,2) | [npc=98077] (1,2,2)
Strategy: here | Credit: Alucarde (recommended by eeedge)
[npc=33219] has the same moveset as Egbert, so I substituted it to decent effect. I did not try subbing [npc=61328] or [npc=61386] for Crispin, but they might serve as alternatives.

Dragonkin: Dragons!
- Team: [npc=68845] (1,2,2) | [npc=21055] (1,2,2) (alts) | [npc=21064] (1,1,2) (alts)
Breeds didn't seem to matter (my Red Dragonhawk was only level 20, even) - but just in case: P/S Nexus, B/B Golden, P/S Red.

Spoiler

vs. Gulp

• [pet-ability=589]
• [pet-ability=489]

vs. Egcellent

• [pet-ability=589] (probably die first)
• Bring in Golden Dragonhawk
• [pet-ability=429] until [pet-ability=568]

vs. Red Wire

• [pet-ability=503]
• [pet-ability=179]
• [pet-ability=503] (if alive / as needed by Big Red to mop up)

vs. Eg (part deux)

• [pet-ability=429] (if alive)
• Bring in Red Dragonhawk
• [pet-ability=492]
• [pet-ability=429] until Eg dies

All pets have a single breed and no substitutes.

Spoiler

vs. Gulp

• [pet-ability=906]

• [pet-ability=362]
• [pet-ability=159]

vs. Red Wire

• [pet-ability=362] if possible, otherwise [pet-ability=119] until Pup dies
• Bring in Tiny Snowman
• [pet-ability=206]
• [pet-ability=120]
• [pet-ability=477] until Wire dies or kills itself ([pet-ability=1025])

Flying: Flock Together
- Team: [npc=81431] (2,2,2) + 2 [pet-ability=239]
Strategy: here | Credit: yager05

Humanoid: Murlocs, Harpies, and Wolvar, Oh My!

• Pyregelys (link) developed a strong team with [npc=68659] (1,1,1) and [npc=68846] (1,2,2). When used these, I never got to the 3rd pet ([npc=85009]), so don't feel like you need the Blizzcon pet to use this strat, just another humanoid. [npc=90206], [npc=90214], [npc=62564] have undead attacks, imps and winter helpers have elemental attacks.

---

Magic: Master of Magic

• Team: [npc=61877] (1,1,1) | [npc=61883] (2,1,1) | [npc=46898] (2,2,2) (alts)

Edit: If you have [npc=88692] & [npc=90202], the strat Nimtrux left in the comments (here) looks like it would also be a good approach. Heck, [npc=90202] (1,1,1) would be a good sub for the lantern, too.

Spoiler

Need to test again, could have a little RNG with Eg/Wire (my Jade Owl might've done better than an "average" fight).

vs. Gulp

• [pet-ability=162]
• [pet-ability=420] x2
• [pet-ability=170] (up)
• [pet-ability=170] (hit)
  (if necessary) [pet-ability=420]

vs. Egcellent

• [pet-ability=420] until Owl dies
• Bring in Sapphire Cub
• 
  
• [pet-ability=535] until Eg uses [pet-ability=568]

vs. Red Wire

• [pet-ability=621] until Cub dies (~2)
• Bring in Lantern
• [pet-ability=113] until [pet-ability=1025]

vs. Eg (part deux)

• [pet-ability=463]
• [pet-ability=461]
• [pet-ability=113] as needed

Mechanical: Roboteer
- Team: [npc=64899] (2,2,2) | [npc=68841] (2,1,1) | [npc=48609] (2,1,1)
Strategy: here | Credit: Keepertje8 (consider Borelia's augmentation to the MPD's attacks (here))

Undead: The Lil' Necromancer
- Team: [npc=61826] (2,2,1) | [npc=61758] (2,2,1) | [npc=68656] (2,2,1)
I tested P/S, H/H, B/B Blighthawks and H/P, H/H Bear. Spider has one breed.
- Tamed H/H Bear for addt'l testing based on commentor's feedback and success % remained consistent. Double H/H for Hawk+Bear was the weakest team I tested, but it still had ~90% success rate.

Spoiler

vs. Gulp

• [pet-ability=170]
• [pet-ability=420] until Frog dies (goal is 3)
  (if you are transformed by [pet-ability=233], restart)

vs. Egcellent

• Continue [pet-ability=420] until Undead round & then [pet-ability=654]
• Bring in Bear, base atks on Eg's HP:
  - 100%: [pet-ability=347] | 50% (~793 HP): [pet-ability=247] | else: [pet-ability=345]
  Eg will [pet-ability=568] at around 50% HP

vs. Red Wire

• [pet-ability=247] finishes remaining round(s)
• [pet-ability=347]
• [pet-ability=345]
• [pet-ability=347] through Bear's undead round (2-3)
• Bring in Spider
• [pet-ability=380] until Wire is <300 HP (goal is 2), then [pet-ability=383]
  Wire will bring [pet-ability=1025] (& die)

When Eg comes back in, just [pet-ability=380] a few times to finish the fight (2-3 due to another Feign).

For Mousing Around, I used:

1. Egbert (212) - vs Gulp
2. Wolpertinger (212) - vs Egcellent
3. Crispin (122) - vs Red Wire

The selected critters have moves that deal extra damage to their counterparts. Play it smart and adapt the strategy and this portion of the achievement is pretty much in the bag.

Start with Egbert against Gulp. Keep Shell Shield up. Peck until Gulp KOs. Critters are immune to CC by Frog Kiss.

Egcellent comes in. Have a mirror match with Egbert. Keep Shell Shield up and Peck away. Egcellent will Feign Death at about half health.

Red Wire enters. Keep Shell Shield up and Peck away until Egbert KOs. Bring in Crispin. Keep Crouch and Flamethrower up, then Burn away until Red Wire KOs.

Egcellent enters. Keep Crouch and Flamethrower up, then Burn away until Crispin KOs. Bring in Wolpertinger and use its beast moves to KO Egcellent.

I'm not sure if i got really lucky with RNG. but my Anubisath Idol pretty much soloed all three. I brought Bonkers and Corefire Imp just in case, and only needed bonkers to do one attack to finish off the last pet. Crush, Sandstorm, Deflection. The only time I used Deflection was when the mechanical pet first came out, and when it used Armageddon.
