Sheep is absolutely terrible.
outside dungeons, edrag/blaze destroys it
In dungeons
Low cata mages should use black cat, high cata f7 mages use silverfish/gdrag, and master mode mage needs gdrag. Sheep has next to no place in progression other than for the earliest earliest game players.

Turtle should be A or S at least, because it's the 3rd best archer (and therefore bers) pet for dungeons use.

On the flipside wither skelly should go down, because it's completely replaced by a turtle as turtle is better in almsot every single conceivable way

I feel like tiger should be higher iirc its the best for ferocity and with my experience it can shred through certain bosses really easily, just my opinon though lol.
