Petz: Dogz 2 and Catz 2/Enemies

Defend yourself
Sneak up on an enemy when it is sleeping or, if it is an enemy that isn't sensitive, sneak up behind it. Then press to bark or screech at the enemy and stun it for a short length of time. By holding down longer you can howl or wail. You can also stun most enemies by hitting them with a stone (after you have learned the action 'Pick Up and Throw') which will knock them out for a few seconds. This is useful for getting past an enemy, but not for if you are looking for something and they are in the way.

If it is a non-rotating snake which is in the way and there is no way of getting behind it, let it see you but then retreat so it doesn't have enough time to attack you. It will then go back to its spot, but it should end up facing the way it got there, which means it would have its back to you. Now you can sneak up on it.

When you are attacked
If an enemy attacks you, you will lose some of your health. If you run out of health, the game is over and you have to start again from the last saved point. You can recover health by using healing items, which you can find in many places or purchase from the Drug Store. Or, to recover all your energy, go to your house and take a nap in your bed. You will automatically regain full health if your maximum health increases.

If you are attacked by a poisonous enemy, you can use some antidote or leave the area to be cured. You will also be poisoned by the Poisonous Bog in Sky Heights if you fall in.

At certain points in the game, your maximum health will increase. This is when it happens;


 * 1) After you rescue Saul.
 * 2) After you thaw the river for Godfrey.
 * 3) After you have found some Thyme to make Cough Medicine for Toby and Daisy.
 * 4) After you have found the Water Crystal.
 * 5) After you have sealed the Whirlwinds in Lonesome Park.

You can also gain an extra heart by getting some special fruits or vegetables for Charlotte or Ambrose.

Moving an Enemy
In Bubble Cave and Gorongo Peak, you will find an enemy which is guarding an entrance to somewhere. These enemies only have a low sensetivity, but they will still notice you if you go near them. Therefore, you need to pick up a rock. Throw it at the enemy and it will not be stunned, instead it will start to chase you. Lead it as far as possible and get out of it's sight. Then try and get round to the area they were blocking without them seeing you again, because otherwise you will get trapped inside! Where an enemy is guarding, there is something to be found on the other side...

Green Snake


Sensitivity 2

Damage 1/2 heart

Green snakes are one of the first enemies you encounter within the game. They will only spot you if you run up to them or go in front of them, and so are not too hard to stun.  Jade Fields · Dolphin Coast · Lappy Lake

Dark Green Snake


Sensitivity 2

Damage 1/2 heart

Dark Green Snakes are more sensetive than green snakes to things moving infront of them, although they won't notice you if you run behind them.  Whisker Woods·Jade Fields

Blue Spotted Snake
Sensitivity 3

Damage 1 heart+ Poison

Blue Spotted Snakes are quite sensitive to things in front of them or running around. Also, be careful when near them as if they attack you then you will be poisoned.  Tail Heights · Bubble Cave

Yellow Snake
Sensitivity 1

Damage 1/2 heart

Yellow snakes are probably deaf, as they won't turn around and attack you even if you run up behind them.  Jade Fields · Dolphin Coast

Orange Snake
Sensitivity 3

Damage 1 heart+ Poison

Orange snakes look almost identical to yellow snakes, but have a slightly different colour. They are also found in different places and are more sensitive and rotate back and forth like Cobras. So basically they are a mixture of yellow snakes and red cobras. But beware of them as if they catch you, you will be poisoned.  Monolith Isle

Cobra
Sensitivity 3

Damage 1 heart

Cobras rotate 90° back and forth in whichever direction you are, which means the only way to stun them is to wait until they fall asleep. But since they are only found in Crystal Caverns, you can usually hide from them in the long brown grass.  Crystal Caverns

Yellow Cobra
Sensitivity 3

Damage 1 heart

Yellow Cobras are exactly the same as regular Cobras except they are yellow. They also have a U-shaped mark on the back of their heads.  Lonesome Park · Gorongo Peak

Alligator
Sensitivity 3

Damage 1 heart

Alligators are mainly in water at Lappy Lake. The only way to stun them is to throw rocks at them since they will see you even if you are behind them, so you will not be able to get close enough to bark or screech.

However, if the Alligator is standing up in a shallow pool, it will continuously rotate 90°, and so you just need to get behind it and you will be able to stun it. Just stun it before it turns to face you!  Lappy Lake · Bubble Cave

Egret
Sensitivity 2

Damage 1 heart

Egrets look like swans, but they fly around in circles all the time. Because of this, the only way to stun them is to throw a stone at them. This may sound hard, considering a majority of them are above water. Generally they will only spot you if you are underneath where they are flying, but then they will usually attack more than once!  Lappy Lake · Whisker Woods

Bear
Sensitivity 2

Damage 1 heart

Bears generally sleep all day, and they may be awake at night. This also varies. So, creep up to them when they are sleeping and give them a little wakeup call. There is also an 'unwakeable' bear in Jade fields which the only way to wake it is to stun it.  Lappy Lake · Whisker Woods

Komondo Dragon
Sensitivity 0.5

Damage 1 heart

Komodo Dragons are like hamsters: they can only see about 15 centimetres in front of them. This means they are pretty easy to get past.  Bubble Cave · Crystal Caverns
