As you know, it was changed... Well, apparently it doesn't actually match the description. o.O

I put it on Acolyte Jin (with a pet) and I had a pet myself and tested to see if it affected all allied animal companions and apparently it only worked on the pet of the player with the skill.

Otyugh's Cry used to work on all pets, but I recall they thought that was "wrong" and "fixed" it, but never changed the text to reflect it. It's been a known issue for a very, very long time, but they've never bothered to address it.

Probably because it's a skill that no one ever uses, so no one ever noticed. That and shouts and such that you use on your pets have absolutely no status icons, so you can't even tell whether or not you've been affected. Pretty stupid, IMO. As stupid as not letting you see how long conditions last on you, and they just fixed that today. And that took years for them to get around to. I guess making monsters run from AoE was higher on the list of to-do's than helping human players with basic knowledge.
