Unlike the beginning, where the levels were low and the monsters faced weren't very powerful, a slightly stronger pet was sufficient to handle them.
Take, for instance, the Fire Hawk. At that time, its quality was already very high, but as he became a race-level leader, even if the Fire Hawk didn't change body and materials every ten levels, it still couldn't keep up with his pace.
Now it's more useful for support, reconnaissance, and bullying weaker enemies. In truly powerful battles, both the Fire Hawk and Death God 4000 have fallen behind.
Of course, this is relative to him. For other Hunters, the Fire Hawk and Death God are both formidable pets.
Other pets have great potential that can be tapped into. Although the Spider Tank started out as just a small silver spider, it became a semi-demigod level pet due to mechanical fusion, and incorporating the essence of the Ancient God's distraction.
