I used the search function but none of the results answered me.

If you watch your pet bear, you may notice he uses a skill called "Brutal Mauling" all on his own. He rears up to full height and just SLAMS his foe.

It's not Brutal strike, and I did notice a significant damage boost each time my pet used it.

Can someone tell me if the bear is the only pet that uses its own auto-special?

I had a lynx and stalker and neither feline used anything unique...

The dune lizards use final thrust, and i believe the spiders very rarely use poison

Sorry, I owned a number of spiders for quite some time, and none of them ever poisoned. I really think this is an urban legend.

Regarding the special pet attacks, they are purely cosmetic, i.e. there is no extra damage effect.

i've never had a bear as a pet myself... but from what i hear... the skill "Brutal Mauling" is just for looks... it does no extra damage

Like the above, all those pet attacks (that aren't yours anyways) are just for show and to confuse you

*or* they are there to use up a stupid interupting players' time

I may be wrong but as i recall brutal mauling is an interupt. no extra damage. I am basing this on perivous experience. (sry for typos)

Brutal Mauling is an inturrupt used by the NPC bears in Pre-searing (to keep them un-tameable). Not sure if that skill still inturrupts in Post though.

Actually, it isn't Brutal Mauling that's interrupting Charm Animal. Rather, it's an incredibly fast-casting skill called "Charm Break" that flies by almost faster than you can read it.

I was attempting to help a friend charm a bear. I had it attacking me with Brutal and using Charm Break on her.
