Are there any pets with a ranged regular attack?

I'm not talking about lunges here, but real ranged attacks, like a projectile or the likes. Any pet who have that as a regular attack?

I think Swaine is the only one with a normal ranged attack. Everyone else only gets ranged with their Tricks.

Yeah, I was looking for something like Swaine's attack. Too bad, with 300+ pets possible, I wish they had implemented some of those.

Not saying it is, but have you checked Spitoo? That's the only one that -seems- like it could be ranged. Doubtful though.

No, I'm still early in the game and I don't have access to capturing one. Could anyone test if Spitoo is ranged? Any other candidate?

It is not ranged. Its attack command causes him to run into melee just like everyone else.

Bummer, thanks for the confirmation. So I take it there's no such ranged pet, oh well...

I was looking for one of these the whole game. I found it hard to believe they'd leave something like this out.

But no, absolutely no variety to familiar attack patterns. Everyone is melee.

Yeah, I really had my hopes up with that Spitoo too, after looking up some pictures, he's shown throwing a little ball out of his nose and his advanced from has "sniper" in its name. There's no way that making a ranged familiar never crossed their mind after knowing this, so they must have decided to only do melee for another reason, but I'm not sure why (I don't think the reason can be game balance because it would seem easy to fix by tweaking its stats).
