Magma Serpent

How to get one

Beat a Magma Serpent in Emberpeak and now and then it leaves its baby hiding: you hear a noise under the rubble (about 1 in 150 kills while you don't have this kind, 1 in 300 once you do). Lift the rubble gently to find it. See Finding pets.

Or hatch one from a Mystery Egg: 3.0% of eggs hold this kind.

Either way it arrives as a Baby Magma Serpent in your bank: adopt it in Pets. About 1 in 40 is Starborn: it glows, has a second trait, and its bonuses are doubled.

Tiers and forms

Find another baby of a kind you already have and you can feed it to your pet: it goes up a tier, Common up to Mythic. It grows into its next form at Rare and again at Legendary.

Starborn pets get twice these. Keen Nose adds half again to the shop bonus.

In a fight

Bring it on hunts and it fights beside you: a bite every 5s, and from 2 hearts its move Magma Breath every 18s: A gob of fire that sets the monster burning. From 6 hearts it's rank II, stronger again. While it hunts with you it gives +4% Damage to low-HP monsters (at Common).

In the shop

Make it your shop pet and it roams the shop, giving +1% more combat XP (at Common). Tap it once a day for a little XP.
