Pets are little critters that follow you around. They are completely invincible and have no set duration: 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. Summoned Minions operate similarly, but are primarily intended to aid combat rather than being cosmetic.

In total, there are 37 pets: 22 on PC, 25 on console, 33 on mobile.

Quick Answers

What are the benefits of having a pet in Terraria? toggle section
In Terraria, pets are creatures that follow the player around, providing a fun and engaging visual element to your gameplay. They are completely invincible and have no set duration, meaning they'll stick with you through thick and thin. When summoned, they give the player a buff with the same name as the pet. While most pets are purely cosmetic, some versions of the game feature pets with more complex behaviors. However, it's important to note that pets do not provide any gameplay advantages, they're just there for the visual appeal and the joy of having a cute companion on your adventures!

Which pets in Terraria can do minimal damage to enemies? toggle section
In Terraria, most pets are purely cosmetic and do not deal any damage to enemies. They are invincible creatures that follow the player around for an indefinite duration, providing a buff with the same name as the pet. However, there are some exceptions in certain versions of the game, but these are not the norm.

What are some of the best pets in Terraria and why? toggle section
Pets in Terraria are more than just cute followers, they can also provide various benefits to the player. Some of the best pets include the Alien Skater, Baby Ogre, Destroyer-Lite, Eater of Worms, and Everscream Sapling. These pets are considered the best due to their unique appearances and the fun factor they bring to the game. However, it's important to note that most pets in Terraria are purely cosmetic and do not provide any gameplay advantages. For those looking for utility, light pets like the Jack 'O Lantern, Toy Golem, and Fairy Princess can provide illumination in dark areas, making them a practical choice for spelunking and night exploration.

How does a pet in Terraria provide light? toggle section
In Terraria, light pets are a special type of pet that emit light, aiding players in dark areas or while caving. These pets are summoned using specific items and once summoned, they follow the player around indefinitely, even in liquids, without costing any mana. They are infinitely reusable and have their own dedicated inventory slot in the player's equipment section. Some light pets can even be controlled by the player. However, while it's possible to change the color of the light pet itself using dyes, the color of the light they produce will always remain the same.

What happens when you summon a different pet in Terraria? toggle section
In Terraria, when you summon a different pet, the current pet following you will be replaced by the new one. Pets will follow the player around until they die, summon a different pet, leave the world, or cancel the associated buff. So, if you decide to summon a different pet, your current pet will simply disappear and the new pet will start following you around.

Notes

  • Console-exclusive pet-summoning items now have a chance to drop from certain enemies, typically their respective versions. Their chance to appear in chests seems to have also increased. Pre-1.2 update, these items were extremely rare.
  • Pets give the player a buff with the same name as the pet without a time limit, which will last until the player dies.
  • PC pets do not deal damage, see minions instead.
  • Pets do not count towards a player's current minion count.
  • Some Pets such as the Cursed Sapling and Baby Truffle provide light for the player which is rather useful when caving or in dark areas.
  • The three items below behave much like pets, but are not. They also supply light.

History

  • 1.2.4: There are several new Pets including the Mini Minotaur. Fixed exploit where you could dupe pets with Bug Net in multiplayer. Fixed bug where other player's pets would disappear after a while (in multiplayer).
  • 1.2.1: Added new Halloween themed pets.
  • 1.2: There are over 15 new pets that can be found in chests and dropped rarely off enemies.
