A pet is a minion only responsive to a Champion of the League. They either fulfill a specific part of an ability, a characteristic and visual effects. Some pets have their own health, some are controllable, some are static and some help cast abilities.

Decoys Edit

The following pets are classified as "decoys", and are considered champions in almost all respects (such as tower priority, valid targets, etc), except that their damage is still credited to their owner (and so will attract tower aggro as with any champion damage). It is worth noting that the damage dealt by a clone's auto attacks will not trigger on-ability effects such as spell vamp or Rylai's Crystal Scepter. Some clones are able to heal themselves with life steal if they have any.

Controllable

The player can control the following champions movement. This can be done either by [Alt] + [Right Click] or via the button used to summon them (such as [R]).

• LeBlanc's  Mirror Image
  • Does not actually deal damage, but applies on hit effects such as Statikk Shiv or Executioner's Calling
• Shaco's  Hallucinate
  • Explodes on death, damaging nearby enemies.
  • Applies any cloned on-hit effects.

Static

• Wukong's  Decoy
  • Deals area of effect damage on timing out.

Minions Edit

The following pets are classified as "minions", which affects things such as valid targeting and tower priority. Their damage is credited to their owner.

When a minion attacks:

• If the damage is based on the minion's AD, it will not apply on-ability effects.
• If the damage is based on the minion's AP, it will apply on-ability effects.

Note that this does not mean whether or not the minion scales with attack damage or ability power, but the minions personal statistics. Other damage dealt by the pet, such as Annie's  Tibbers' aura, will apply on-ability effects.

These pets will benefit from Banner of Command, Aegis of the Legion, Runic Bulwark, and the 20% movement speed bonus from the Captain enchantment.

Controllable

The player can control the following champions movement. This can be done either by [Alt] + [Right Click] or via the button used to summon them (such as [R]).

• Annie's  Summon Tibbers
  • Tibbers also damages enemies around him every second. This damage will trigger on-ability effects.
  • Tibbers will gain bonus AD, AP and health regen from Banner of Command. As such, Tibbers does increased magic damage with his attacks through Banner of Command.
• Mordekaiser's  Children of the Grave
  • Only gives a pet if the enemy champion killed.
  • Applies any cloned on-hit effects (i.e. the target's on-hit effects).
  • Cannot be targeted by Smite.
• Yorick's  Omen of Death (clone)
  • Does not apply on-hit effects.
  • Is destroyed to temporarily resurrect its target if the target dies while active.
  • Cannot be targeted by Smite.

Automatic

The following minions behave autonomously.

• Elise's  Spider Swarm
  • Spiderlings will try to attack nearby enemies, prioritizing Elise's attack target. Spiderlings will leap at the target of  Venomous Bite; become untargetable during  Rappel; and heal Elise on their attacks while  Skittering Frenzy is active.
  • Gains bonus AD and AP from Banner of Command.
  •  Volatile Spiderling will also leap at the target of  Venomous Bite, if one is still active while in spider form.
• Heimerdinger's  H-28G Evolution Turret
  • Turrets must be placed manually, but they are stationary and will autoattack the first enemy unit that comes within its firing range.
  • Turrets will change aggro to fire at enemy champions that attack allied champions if they can.
  • Gains bonus AD and AP from Banner of Command.
• Malzahar's  Summon Voidling
  • Voidlings will try to attack targets afflicted by  Malefic Visions, but prioritize enemies under  Nether Grasp. If neither are applicable, then they will attack Malzahar's last target.
  • Gains bonus AD and AP from Banner of Command.
• Shaco's  Jack In The Box
  • Boxes stealth after being placed manually.
  • Unlike other minions, the damage dealt by boxes isn't based on their own stats. While they benefit from Banner of Command's bonus AD and health regen, they will not receive increased damage on their attacks. Their attacks will apply on-ability effects.
    • This could be a bug, or an old mechanic that hasn't been update in lieu of recent releases (namely Zyra: the only other minion with magic-based auto attacks).
• Yorick's  Omen of War,  Omen of Pestilence,  Omen of Famine
  • If these ghouls lose sight of their target, they will break off attack.
  • Gains bonus AD from Banner of Command.
• Zyra's  Rampant Growth (plant)
  • Zyra's abilities will cause plants to grow in place of her seeds. Plants last for 10 seconds, and will attack nearby enemies. Plants will prioritize enemies in this order: Zyra's attack target if a champion; champions recently damaged by Zyra; Zyra's attack target if a minion; nearby minions.
  • Takes 1 damage from minion attacks; 2 damage from champion attacks; 3 damage from area of effect; 4 damage from single target abilities; and 6 damage from tower attacks and true damage.
  • Gains bonus AP from Banner of Command.

Other Edit

Traps Edit

The following pets are classified as "traps" or "wards". Damage dealt will trigger on-ability effects such as spell vamp or Rylai's Crystal Scepter. These abilities are pets thematically, and beyond appearance are not functionally different to abilities such as Caitlyn's  Yordle Snap Trap.

• Elise's  Volatile Spiderling
  • Volatile spiderlinds will attempt to move toward the ability's target, detonating if they near an enemy. If it becomes stationary, the volatile spiderling begins a 3 second life span after which it will explode. While stationary, volatile spiderlings can aggro onto nearby enemies and chase them (prioritizing champions). While chasing a champion, the detonation radius is seemingly decreased.
  •  Volatile Spiderling will also leap at the target of  Venomous Bite, if one is still active while in spider form.
• Maokai's  Sapling Toss
  • The sapling must be thrown to a location manually; only then will the sapling seek out enemy units that come into its aggro range.

Mechanics Edit

The following champions feature an aspect of their kit that is similar to a pet or minion, but behaves differently.

    • He however comes to  Quinn's shoulder during her recall and /joke animations.
  • If Valor is in the air when  Quinn dies he likely flies away.
• Swain is accompanied by the raven,  Beatrice
  •  Beatrice replenishes Swain's mana whenever he kills a unit.
  •  Beatrice blasts the selected enemy when Swain casts  Decrepify , and becomes a static unit .
  •  Beatrice flies away if Swain dies.

• Viktor's  Chaos Storm
  • Chaos Storm can be controlled by pressing [R].

  • Moves slower the farther away it is from Viktor.

• Zed can summon up to 2 shadows, one from  Living Shadow and a second from  Death Mark.
