Pets

Pets are little creatures that follow you around. They are completely invincible and have no set duration. When summoned, they will give the player a buff with the same name as the pet. They will follow you until you die, summon a different pet, or cancel the associated buff.

Most Pets are purely cosmetic, but some of the console-exclusive Pets can do minimal damage to enemies. A few Pets emit small amounts of light, but on, there are special Light Pets available with their own dedicated slot.

Summoned Minions operate similarly, but are primarily intended to aid combat rather than being cosmetic. Pets do not count against a player's current minion limit.

Pets can activate Teal Pressure Pads.

In total, there are 40 pets. There are 26 on, 27 on the , and 35 on the.

Summoning and Dismissing
Pets are manually summoned by placing their item on the hotbar and using them or by equipping them. On, pets can be dismissed by right clicking their corresponding buff icon, by reusing the summoning item, or  by turning off the visibility.

Equipping Pets
On the, the inventory offers two dedicated slots, offering more complex behavior: One slot is for "regular" Pets, the other is for Light Pets. Light pets behave similarly to ordinary pets, but provide more consistent lighting around the player. At any time, the player can have at most one pet of each type active.
 * Each pet slot has a matching dye slot, which can be used to recolor the pet. Some of the "advanced" dyes can make certain pets look very strange, or even render them invisible. If they normally shed light, the light will be unaffected by any dye.
 * Each pet slot also has an "eye" icon, which can be clicked to "hide" the pet, and again to "show" it.
 * Unlike the similar icons to hide accessories, the eye icon will actually dismiss and resummon the pet, not just hide and reveal it.
 * If a summoning item is placed in a slot set to "hidden", the pet will not be summoned until the slot is toggled back to "visible".
 * Removing a pet's item from its slot will not dismiss the pet, but placing a different pet item in the slot will replace the pet.
 * Either type of pet can also be summoned by using its item from the hotbar, but only if the slot it could go into is empty or hidden.
 * A pet in a pet slot is automatically summoned whenever the player respawns.

Light Pets
Light Pets are summoned secondary characters that float alongside players to provide a traveling light source. They incur no mana nor any other cost, and remain indefinitely until the player cancels the buff, summons a replacement light pet or dies. Only one light pet can be present at once. Light Pets have their own dedicated inventory slot in the player's equipment section in the along with a slot for Dyes.

Trivia

 * In the game files, sprites regarding pets have the prefix "Projectile".
 * The Pet Drone, summoned with the Mysterious Package, was introduced only on the Amazon version, but was unobtainable and later removed.
