+#: Exact mirror of Elite Insights' ``RangerHelper.JuvenilePetIDs``
+#: (union of the 11 juvenile-pet family lists + the base list). A spawn
+#: of one of these agents becomes the ``-28`` "Ranger Pet Spawned"
+#: rotation entry on its master. ``JuvenilePhoenix`` (25131) is
+#: deliberately absent -- EI credits it only via
+#: ``MinionCommandCastFinder(GaleBreath)``, so a phoenix spawn must NOT
