Animals

Summary

You can purchase and befriend several different types of animals. Some magical and some more traditional.

Whilst most animals don't require a huge amount of upkeep, you'll want to make sure you pop back to the farm every once in a while to feed them. A happy animal is a useful animal. As they have a variety of uses that you can take advantage of but only if they're in a good mood.

Use the Whistle menu to keep tabs on your pets. Where they are, how hungry they feel and if they're in a good mood or not. You can also use the whistle to instantly call or send away any one of your active pets.

Keep your animals well-fed and pet them regularly to keep their mood topped up

Pet Feeding

Each animal type has a preference for food and will only eat items found within those categories.

Feeding animals keeps their hunger at bay. When an animal is hungry their mood begins to decrease.

Animal Type	Prefered Food
Dogs	Fish Fruit & Veg Eggs Pork & Chicken Meals
Cats	Fish Milk Pork & Chicken Gassy Apples
Pigs	All foods
Sheep	Fruit & veg Herbs
Fillifryth	Fish
Bumbabloopfnoop	Yum Chicken Gassy Apples Barley Wheat

Individual pets also have their favourite foods within those categories. When they're fed a liked item, their mood will increase.

Pet Abilities

Each pet has a variety of abilities that are used in and out of combat.

Keep your pet's mood topped up, because if it drops below a certain threshold they will no longer perform their abilities.

Cow

• Cows remain stationary.

• Be sure to use a metal bucket. The wooden one is for poop.
• Build a cow shed to make them happier and reposition them (you can also use the Cow Post to move the cow).

Dog

• When following the player dogs will find digspots. If you walk near one, they'll run off and WOOF WOOF loudly near where you need to look. Get out your shovel and start digging.
