Merek Harvesters are nice. Light Armor and about 60 Kinetic resist. (Can't remember exactly)

Merek harvesters are not tamable.
Your best bet is to get a BE to make a pet for ya using merek harvester dna
That way you can get a skin you like with different specials.
they normally have 75% kinetic but it drops to 60% or lower when the BE makes the clone

well if ya like cats go with a gurreck...
if ya like dogs go with a choku...
both of these made buy your local BE...
from my experiance these pets have no pathing issues... they are small and don't run away... but if you are looking for a pure tank, don't get one with a ranged attack... have the BE focus all on the resists and HAM leave the damage out of it... and for special attacks get intimidate and stun... AR1, 60% kin resist is all you need for creature mobs, for the npc's well a well rounded resists with AR1 is better...
if the BE is good you can get a good pair of pets to have out at once... if the BE is great (lucky) you can get a set of 3...

Boar wolf ravagers are good tanks, 50% kinetic 50% blast, and lev 34, no armor but you can pull out 2 at the same time and theyre not hard to find.

i am debating taking a MCH into the death watch bunker on my next team. what i need to know is what is the best smaller-sized pet with high kinetic resists you can make?
heres some things im lookin for:
high kinetic resists, and energy is 2nd
specials are not necessary, but if it can land states, even better
has to be relatively small as to not obstruct our limited view
needs high HAM, basically lets say i need 1 that can tank at least 1 SBD
if its super high level thats fine, i dont want too much clutter with several lower lvl pets
if you can make a pet that hits mind, that would be perfect
thanks
oh and if any of you are MCH's on corbantis, plz post here or in my bunker thread on the corbantis forum.

the best small pet is probably a gurrcat - as for the resists, not hard to get pets with >55% energy and kinetic and light armour. BMBQ-PG-BMBQ-PG-BMBQ would probably work.

As far as size is concerned we can make them as small as a bearded jax if you wanted. Health could be as high as 12K or so if you wanted a high CL. 60% kinetic, >50% energy and light armor is pretty easy to do.
As for hitting mind, well all the pets do kinetic damage, so they can't be designed to target mind specifically.

You should tame a PANZER BEAR from YAVIN, they are a GREAT little TANK, Almost as high kinetic as a Great Plains Stalker, but much smaller.
Or there is always those Cute Little Tortons, or if we get the slider bar we have been asking for, we may be able to get Nuna sized Rancors. (go ahead and hold your breath NancyJ's been on a roll with the DEVS)

Yeah, I love using both! Great pets! I like using them in combo with my boar wolf 50% kinetic, 9K ham(CL25). But I guess if I were only going to use one "smaller" pet, I'd go with the TMB.
