The Pied Tamarin is a Tier 1 Pet, available in the Golden Pack. When it faints, it spends 1 Trumpet to deal 3 damage to a random enemy. Levelling up the Pied Tamarin increases the amount of random enemies that it will deal damage to (note that the trumpet cost remains at 1 no matter the level).

Strategy

The Pied Tamarin has strength in that its ability alone deals enough damage to knock out almost all other Tier 1 pets at base health (aside from Cockroach, Magpie and Alchemedes). This is especially useful against pets that would otherwise cause problems if not defeated quickly like a Bulldog with a Silkmoth behind it.

On turns 1 and 2, this ability is entirely reliant on buying a Groundhog and making sure it faints before the Pied Tamarin does, which limits it's usage until more ways to generate trumpets show up on later tiers.

Beyond the early turns the Pied Tamarin can deal up to 9 damage on faint, which can be enhanced by Pineapple, Wolverine or various ailments, and repeated by Tiger, Egyptian Vulture or Anubis. It can also be re-summoned by Mushroom or Pteranodon

• To use this pet with a Anubis it's necessary to have it trigger a Groundhog, Black Necked Stilt or a Nyala first, or have a pet with Cherry

Pied Tamarin eventually gets outclassed by Nurse Shark, which can deal much more damage.
