Permanent pet spider: Pros and cons

torchlight

I have caught a giant web fish. It allows me to permanently turn my pet into a pet spider. Do I lose anything by doing this except the cuddly looks of my companion? What are the benefits of having a permanent pet spider? (Does it then keep those benefits if i feed it other fish to turn it into other creatures temporarily?)

Is there any advantage to turning your pet permanently into a spider if you have piles of web fish to keep turning it into a spider temporarily?

Permanent is relative here, if you ever feed your pet another transformation fish he'll go back to his original form once that one runs out.

The only advantages I know of it is that you can then sell these webfish (for whatever they earn you) and you don't have to micromanage your pet eating things anymore.

The default pet has a small disadvantage to the "fished" up pet in all cases, the spider pet has his web, the crab his bonus defenses,...
