What are some of your favorite pets?

[Red riding hood the third]

Collecting information about pets and the only ones i actually liked are the goblin horse, boar king and the shadow beast which is visually my favorite.

Sand whale give aura of 15% def if I remeber correctly.
And the ducks that allows you to store in the shared inventory if you find them at night you could fight them as a mini-boss, they drop the item to summon them but some people don't know that they could actually be tamed (if I'm not wrong and actually got it from an egg reward...), they give have 4 skills: Could be used as mounts, they could attack, it gives an aura of damage reduction of something like 7-8% and act as a source of decent light in area. I allways use it as a mount, and a Sand whale or King boar as a normal pet.

Somehow the combat pets are still a little underwhelming. Even the Boar King has trouble keeping the health up (and/or burning through your food). I very much prefer just to take my Replica and stack some movement speed on myself so I am not falling asleep without mount/pet.
I probably should take one of the Border Collies for additional inventory space but using the bird item has served me well so far.
I do also want to try and tame one of those meco/mech boars they look pretty nice.

Full def king boar can tank the final boss with pet food, absurd defensive value

TLDR: Pets =/= damage... pets = distraction or QoL

Thus the boar with his absurd tankiness is great as a pet
Thus the pooch with speed is good as a mount (extra inventory)

Can confirm full def king boar can tank the final boss with pet food. Once it ate through my 200 stockpile of pet food it died horribly.

lmao I beat the black dude earlier and I still didn't know there is actual pet food...
I'll feed him that from now on. Will probably be a lot better then the stuff I myself eat.
The Rift teleport kinda dudes drop so much food at times that I can use that food to feed myself and trade in some for gene boxes (also with eating speed buffs berries and apples are not that bad). What is a stove? lol

I used the nightmare tank a lot which is basically just a boar while riding the goblin war horse
my nightmare tank would die during the final boss and thats it since he would out heal everything else
buuuut he would revive by the time I destroyed the last ball during the final boss so he could just start pounding away, he did some alright damage and didn't need pet food
I wish there were more interesting pets
most of the "special" ones are a little eh to me
like the slime ducks small dogs and unicorns
i wanna see dragons or lizards, something
maybe a literal mech

I wish there was something similar to gene editing for pets. Player has it, could create enhanced sentient beings from scratch using some scraps from monsters, but pets are no touchy?

[sanguinae666]

Really good Idea, I was about to propose about Pet accesories that improve or give new skills, but gene editing for pets could be even better, that way we could compensate the simplicity of pet stats that make them too plain and make it difficult for them to attack and specially to suvive.

[Thieme]

Genes would definitely help. Also being able to put an accessory could be cool. I’d love a pet with a turret strapped on top.

I felt like the pet system was a bit lacking. It would be nice if they had a gene build available, maybe not nearly as large as the player, but something to play around with and customize them.

Considering what you can do with a replica, the pet seems like an afterthought. I never did try a full pet build though, so maybe I'm missing out.

You have taking that comment out of my mouth. :-)
Maybe something to cause AoE explosions when they take damage or leave a river of poion/fire while they walk, fire aura, give inventory space, or just giving existing pet perks with the accesory.

I have a full pet + thorns build and pet survive better but still keep dying and damage becomes about 220-350 depending on their attack value, good but not great taking into account that it's a full pet build.

I'm enjoying experimenting with the new pets. I would have to say that currently my favorite pet is Luna the collie for it's buff to attack speed
