== Altar rites put the selected pet at risk ==

Each rite acts on the pet you offer. On failure, that pet is permanently destroyed. You must own another pet, and cannot offer your [[Buddy]], a pet on your buddy list, or a pet holding an item. Inspect the pet identity and survival odds before confirming.

Survival and a successful cosmetic reroll are different rolls. Ordinary rite survival depends on tier, optional [[Rune|rune]]s, and accumulated pity. Crown has its own rules. Higher tier improves some odds but is not blanket protection from losing the pet.
