Greetings fellow necromancers. I was wandering through the dark halls of our humble community when I noticed something rather annoying. At no point have we made an attempt to show what all the various pets and minions look like. While I do realize that everyone in time will know what the various pets look like, I thought it might be of value for the more novice members of our profession to be able to see what their future holds in regards to pets and minions. For size comparison sake I have included myself in each image, NO, I am so vain to think it would be good for people to see my pointy eared head over and over. So without further chatter I give you my guide to pets and minions: Abomination I
This is the Abomination pet which you gain at level 4 and is summoned via the spell Awaken Abomination I . This is the least impressive looking of our Abominations. Abomination II
This is the Abomination pet which you gain at level 30 and is summoned via the spell Awaken Abomination II . This pet is larger than the previous version of it and has more noticeable bone protrusions and has longer claws. Abomination III
This is the Abomination pet which you gain at level 50 and is summoned via the spell Awaken Abomination III . This pet is larger than the previous versions of it and has much more noticeable bone protrusions and has ridiculously long claws. Advocate Lich Necromancer Version:
This is the Advocate Minion which you gain at level 46 and is summoned via the spell Advocate's Ritual . This spell summons a minion that does considerable damage to your enemies. Sometimes referred to as the Zealot and is an upgraded version of the Slayer Pet. The two versions do the same thing but look noticeably different. It looks the same as the lvl 38 Servant minion.
Wraith Necromancer Version: This is the Advocate Minion which you gain at level 46 and is summoned via the spell Advocate's Ritual . This spell summons a minion that does considerable damage to your enemies. Sometimes referred to as the Zealot and is an upgraded version of the Slayer Pet. The two versions do the same thing but look noticeably different. It looks the same as the lvl 38 Servant minion. Guardian
This is the Guardian Minion which you gain at level 22 and is summoned via the spell Ritual of the Guardian . This minion is strictly a defender who taunts things off that are attacking you. They don't take many hits so are mainly there to give you a few seconds to do something else to control a situation gone wrong. Well drat, I didn't stand next to this pet.. sue me ;P Plaguebringer Lich Necromancer Version:
This is the Plaguebringer Minion which you gain at level 30 and is summoned via the spell Plague Bearer's Ritual . This minion can cast a -240 Physical Resistance debuff on your enemy that also increases Physical damage taken by 10%. his is non-combatant pet, no DPS to be gained here from it directly. Both versions will inflict anyone hitting them with a disease dot and they both have the same graphic appearance. Wraith Necromancer Version:
This is the Plaguebringer Minion which you gain at level 30 and is summoned via the spell Plague Bearer's Ritual . This minion can cast a -240 Spiritual Resistance debuff on your enemy that also increases spiritual damage taken by 10%. This is non-combatant pet, no DPS to be gained here from it directly. Both versions will inflict anyone hitting them with a disease dot and they both have the same graphic appearance.  Servant Lich Necromancer Version:
This is the Servant Minion which you gain at level 38 and is summoned via the spell Ritual of the Servant . This spell summons a minion that basically boosts your Health regen. This minion cast a 169 point heal on it's master that has a 10 sec cast time. Note: The minion does not heal the abomination. This is non-combatant pet, no DPS to be gained here. It looks the same as the lvl 46 Advocate minion. Wraith Necromancer Version:
This is the Servant Minion which you gain at level 38 and is summoned via the spell Ritual of the Servant . This spell summons a minion that basically boosts your Energy regen. This minion cast a Mana restore spell on its' master periodically. Note: The minion does not grant the mana to the abomination, only to its' master. This is a non-combatant pet, no DPS to be gained here. It looks the same as the lvl 46 Advocate minion. Slayer
This is the Slayer Minion which you gain at level 26 and is summoned via the spell Ritual of the Slayer . This minion is a DPS minion that attacks your enemies with its long claws. They can not take many hits so are basically dots with graphics. The slayer is sometimes referred to as the Reaver minion. Well there you have it. All of the Pets and Minions that we currently have as masters of the undead. While one might argue that the creatures summoned using out Ritual Animatus I and Ritual Anbimatus II spells are minions, I did not include them in this list since they look like green shaded versions of the corpse you raised and they are not peristant pets due to their very short durations. Pet Variation - Skin of the Xakrin There is currently one special graft in game that when given to your pet alters the Abominations appearance drastically. This graft is a skin graft aptly named Skin of the Xakrin. The image below is an abomination pet altered with this Skin (Thanks to Kuruk for supplying this one) As an added bonus and while not exclusively a necromancer pet it is cool enough to merit mention. This is a Dark Elf Specific Pet (Racial Ability) that can only be summoned when you have no active Abomination pet out. Go Go Death Gekko!!  Lifebane

They only start healing at approx 60% though, but extremely useful with bloodfeast.
Also you can stack bloodfeast with transmogrify! ZOMG EXPLOIT!
