Araxyte pet

Araxyte pets are six rare pets obtainable by killing Araxxi and then fulfilling various conditions. A players first Araxyte pet must be gained as a rare drop from killing Araxxor, with the other five then being able to unlocked by fulfilling certain conditions. The chances to get the initial pet vary depending on the quality of a players kill (the mechanic that determines how good a kill was is currently unknown), however they may sacrifice all of their loot to double their chances in obtaining a pet.

After the first pet is obtained, it's possible to unlock the rest by completing various challenges during the Araxxor fight, obtaining them as rare drops is not required. A player may view the conditions for unlocking further pets and their progress towards doing so by inspecting the coocooned corpse outside the Araxyte Hive.

They may be summoned from the follower pets section of the pets interface, accessed from the hero tab or by right clicking the summoning icon.

The available pets, the Araxyte they resemble and their methods of unlock can be found below. Note that the first pet obtained (via random drop from Araxxi) is determined based on the achievement(s) met during the fight, and is thus most often Dave, Steve or Pete.
