Earth pets and pre-crawl animals is a consolidation page for animals whose main significance comes from life before the collapse of Earth. It includes named show animals, household pets, remembered companions, and animals later transformed by dungeon systems. The category distinguishes ordinary pre-crawl relationships from magical familiars and manufactured dungeon creatures. An animal belongs here when its identity begins in ordinary Earth life and its narrative purpose is primarily relational. Angel the cocker spaniel and Sugar Cube are examples of names that illuminate Donut's show-cat world and Beatrice's household. A brief memory does not imply that the animal entered the dungeon or acquired combat statistics. Donut remembers other pets through status, breed judgments, jealousy, and cat-show etiquette. Angel's many collar tags become a comparison when Donut complains about equipment slots. These references preserve the small domestic details that the collapse destroyed and help explain Donut's language of pedigree and presentation. Some Earth animals become mechanically altered participants. Donut changes from a pet cat into an intelligent crawler. Lucia Mar's Rottweilers Cici and Gustavo-3 grow into lethal companions. The transformation does not erase the prior bond, but it changes legal targeting, combat value, and the risk that enemies will exploit attachment. The crawl repeatedly uses pets as emotional leverage. A remembered animal can anchor a character's identity, while a transformed companion can become a weapon or hostage. Cici's death destabilizes Lucia. Donut's bond with Mongo begins in the dungeon but draws on her existing assumptions about ownership, family, and public presentation. Mongo, Bianca, Orthrus, Rend, and other dungeon companions belong primarily on the pets and familiars page because their major arcs depend on system bonds, summons, magical forms, or dungeon origin. Cross-listing is appropriate when a figure spans both categories, but a normal pre-crawl dog should not receive invented familiar mechanics.
