Are contestants getting Dragon Teeth to click for pets, like on Red, or will we see the Ogre Gladiators?

The gladiators will be level 45 ogre warriors equipped in fine steel plate, armed with Electrum Bladed Wakazashis. They will not communicate with the players.

(EDIT- each Cleric will be given a red dragon tooth before the start of the match ( i will ensure the pets are within one level of each other after they are summoned) the cleric will have to use the 30 sec buff period to decide if theyd rather buff their gladiator or themselves. the clerics can attack the gladiator or the other cleric. a cleric will be declared the winner after that cleric kills his opponent or his opponents gladiator. the gladiators / pets will be stationed in the middle of the arena and will not move.)

(EDIT - due to the nature of the gladiators, banishment of shadow will not be allowed)

I presume this means on your own gladiator, and not the opposing gladiator?

And not that it should really make much difference, but will the gladiators be coded NPCs or GMs/volunteers playing them?

[Ambrotos]

I corrected it Sanluen. Thanks for pointing that out.

On live, the gladiators were actual GMs/players. They also had the PoSky Belt iirc.

If you can find info for me about that, I can make that happen. I know the armor and weapons they had, but that is all that has been found.
