Mongo
The pet Donut chooses from the kobolds' menagerie on the second floor — a seven-inch, pink-feathered 'Mongoliensis' that bites her nose and fights anything it sees. Bonded as her Royal Steed hours before the floor closes. Odette supplies the translation: velociraptor.

Chosen in B1 ch. 46, bonded in B1 ch. 47, identified as a velociraptor in the epilogue. Everything about him is prospective: level one, seven inches, 'fully grown at level 15,' and Odette's warning that the nose chomps will not be adorable when he is. The series will grow him.

By book
Mongo in book 1 — Dungeon Crawler Carl
Won from the kobolds' pet reward room in ch. 46 over Carl's preference for the brindle grub — a seven-inch raw-chicken dinosaur with pink feathers, red-tagged, hostile to everything and most of all to Donut's nose. The description says a Mongoliensis is never tamed, only respected, and that reaching level 15 is as likely as a West Virginia cheerleader reaching eighteen a virgin.
The bonding takes the rest of the floor (ch. 47): Mordecai explains that pet-class mobs stay level one until bonded; Donut teaches him to unzip a grub; dog commands work except 'stay'; his dot goes white after his first kills and orange — Royal Steed — when Donut decapitates a vespa to save him. The whole process, for whatever reason, is 'endlessly amusing to the general public'. In the epilogue Odette supplies the translation Carl had missed: velociraptor.
