The pet that randomly casts sprite?

I was watching my cousin do a boss battle that I could not attend with him. His pet, (looked like a red and black doggy), would randomly cast sprite on him, even during the enemys turn to attack.

What pet is this, and are there other pets that randomly cast spells, without the wizards command?

Thanks :)

Spritely is an Ultra Rare pet talent that you can get on a sea dragon pet. I want to try to get it on my firezilla though.

His pet was a fierce hound (it can also be dyed gold, green and blue). The sprite is a talent it gets form training it the talent is called spritely. This talent can be found in ever celestian pet and a few others (not sure which) It can also be gotten though hatching.

It's a Fierce Hound, the 1st generation ones come from the epic bundle giftcards from Gamestop.

If you don't want to spend the $40 for the Gamestop card, any of the pets you can buy in Celestia can get this talent. The Sea Dragon is the one to have, but this message board is full of stories from people who have spent upwards of $500 trying to get Sea Dragon with spritely. If you have a lot of gold you can find somebody with a Sea Dragon that has spritely and try hatching your favorite pet with it. It may take a while and a lot of hatches, but you'll eventually get spritely. (took me about 8 hatches to finally get spritely on a balance pet)

It's a Fierce Hound that you get when you purchase the Epic Bundle from certain retailers. And a side note, you can go to the Dye Shop in the Commons and change the colors. You have the choice of blue, red and one other color, which I can't remember. Most folks stick with the red, though, it just looks better.

Most likely the pet was a fierce hound, spritely is a talent that many pets have and it can be bred into any pet, presuming you have the time and gold to do so. Yes there are a variety of spells that pets may have and cast randomly.

Each pet comes with 10 possible talents. Out of those, only 1 will appear at each growth stage. So if you train a pet to adult, 2 talents will appear. If you take it to epic, you will have 4 talents. But you won't know which ones you're getting until you train your pet.

Spritely is a talent that the fierce hound has and some other pets. (The celestia pets - bought or dropped have this as one of their possible talents.)

You don't have to spend crowns to try and get a spritely pet. It just takes some time, patience and lots of gold (which you can earn by farming and selling stuff.)

Since your cousin has a spritely hound, you can trying hatching with it. And hopefully the new pet will inherit the spritely talent.

Some of my results:
stromzilla + spritely spinyfish = spritely stormzilla (got at teen or adult)
aqua dragon + fierce hound = spritely aqua dragon (got at teen)
hydra + spritely aqua dragon = spritely hydra (got at epic)
egg + spritely aqua dragon = spritely egg (got at teen or adult)
ghost hound + spritely fierce hound = spritely ghost hound (got at teen)

And depending on the pet and talent list, yes some will cast without command. Some of mine will blade or shield.
