Aggressive
Looks for an eligible foe within 6 tiles of the pet and 10 of its owner. It can approach that foe while following.
| Give this order | Select an active pet in the Companion Panel and use Orders. Its adjacent right-click menu also offers the stance or movement change. Support species have no stance controls. |

| Effect | Looks for an eligible foe within 6 tiles of the pet and 10 of its owner. It can approach that foe while following. |
| Time cost | These orders do not spend a normal player turn. The pet carries out movement and attacks on its AI turns. |
| Combat choices | The ordinary target search skips settlement people, guards, livestock, vendors, escorts, companions, passive creatures and creatures with no damage. Defensive additionally requires adjacency. Distances include diagonal steps and use the nearest occupied cell of a large foe. |
| Movement is separate | Follow can approach an eligible target. Stay allows an attack already in range but stops ordinary pursuit. Stay Back prevents the ordinary target search regardless of the stored stance. |
| Young and support pets | Hatchlings use Passive in their creature form even if another stance is stored. Support species do not acquire ordinary combat targets. A frail pet starts with Stay Back on, which also takes priority over its stance. |
| Sight for ranged pets | A pet with attack reach above 1 needs line of sight for its attack when the scene supplies the sight check. It prefers a visible target over an unseen one. Follow can approach to gain sight, while Stay holds its ordinary pursuit. |
| Passive and Stay Back | Passive alone does not remove a pet from enemy target choices or disable a Flame Salamander’s fire aura. Stay Back is a separate setting that prevents ordinary attacks and disables that aura. |
| Co-op control | The Companion Panel and shared command route check the pet’s owner. In the current build, the host’s adjacent right-click stance and movement rows can also change a partner’s pet. Following uses its owner’s position, falling back to the acting player if that owner is absent. |
