Aquaria/Pets

There are four "pets" in the game. Pets follow you around and help out in some way, usually by providing minor combat assistance. Pets will not attack certain harmless things.

Where to find them

 * Nautilus: Found south west of Naija's home, guarded by Nautilus Prime and its children.


 * Piranha: Found in the Kelp Forest, the very northeastern part of it in Mermagon Cave. You must have beast form and fish form to reach it. Defeat Mergog to obtain the egg. Piranha is slow to attack, but once it attacks an enemy, it latches on and rapidly bites three times. If it eats a shooting enemy, you will gain it's shots in Beast Form as if you ate it yourself.


 * Dumbo Octopus: In The Veil, near the sun temple, head right down to the bottom to a crack and use fish form to go through. Continue on through the small cave system past a bunch of enemies (you'll need light form). Battle Octomun (its weak spot is only revealed when you get close to its mouth) and you get a nice wee glowing octopus. This pet is handy if you want to use other forms from light in the dark, but pointless anywhere else; it does not attack.


 * Mini-Peg: Go to the Energy Temple with the nature form and use the path blocked by current with the beast form to get to the lower level. Go to the flower and use the nature form to get the pearl. Bring the pearl west and north to a previously locked door. Put the pearl in place, energize it, and enter the chamber, defeat Blaster Peg Prime and collect the mini-peg. Mini-peg fires three homing blasts when it attacks.

Nautilus
Use the energy form to shoot its tentacle spot. Nautilus attacks slowly, and for little damage. However the dashes can catch you off guard so it is generally a good idea to keep moving around.

Mergog
Simply use your Nature Form, and plant cacti around the area where he rests. Planting cacti will also help shield you against his attacks.

Alternatively, in the bottom of his cave, just barely past where he appears on screen, there is a small section where the thorn vines dip down, just before the floor raises up. If you go into Energy Form and float there, his charge and energy attacks can't hit you, and yours will be able to track him as he moves about the cave. Just sit there and keep firing until he dies.

Peg prime
First kill all the small pegs which will take some damage if you're not careful then get your aim on master peg and keep circling around him and shooting small shots.
