Pets
Pets are any animals and monsters that have been tamed. You can order them around with commands, since they can be very useful for many things.
- Steeds -some pets can be ridden, you travel a lot faster on steeds.
- Guarding -they can protect you, or someone you choose.
- Attacking -you can make them attack things, can raise a criminal flag depending on target
- Carrying -all animals can carry things for you, taking some of the weight from you.
- PackHorse/PackLlama allow you to manage their inventories and can carry a lot more items than others.

Naming Pets
Once you own a pet, you are able to rename them. To rename them you simply have to drag out their hit-bar, which displays their name and health, and edit their name. When you double-click a pet, you will get a same-looking hit-bar, but you are unable to edit their name from there.

A character has different amount of Pet Control slots available, depending on their Animal Lore, and different animals use up different number of slots. Basically it depends on the difficulty of taming it, dragons and other dangerous beasts take the the most slots per pet.
Be careful when taking on pets when your number of available slots are low, since pets will roam free if you cannot handle them. You don't want a wild dragon to roam, or the guards to kill your precious pet for being hostile by nature.
Pet Commands
The list of Pet Commands and examples of use. You can either say All to get all your pets to follow the command, or call them out by name to get specific pets to listen to the command.
| Command | Description |

| come | Come is similar to follow, but the pets will walk around once they reach you. |
| follow | Will tell the animals to follow whoever you target, or say "Follow me" to make them follow you without needing to target self. |
| guard | Will have the tamed animals guard someone against any attacks, or say "Guard me" to make them follow you without needing to target self. |

- I say All Stop
- These would not work

Taking Care of Pets
Pets need to be taken care of, just like you they will get hungry and whine at you. And if you ignore their need for food they will roam free. Once they roam free, you are unable to command them.
- To feed a pet, you simply pick one food item they can eat, and drop it on the animal. Animals are greedy and will eat whatever you give them! as long as its their prefered food item. Some eat Fruits and Vegetables, others Raw Meat
If you are unable to take care of your pet, but do not wish it to roam free: then go see a Stable Master and have them stable your pet. To retrieve your pet back, you simply hand the deed to the Stable Master.
Special Steeds
There are certain pets that do not need to be fed, and therefor do not roam free due to hunger.
- Crafted Steeds (Such as Porcelain and Obsidian steeds, that can be fixed when broken to certain extent).
- When released or killed, they become an object you can keep in your inventory
- Ethereal Mounts
- Undead Steed
