Pets

Pets are animal companions that can accompany Player Pirates on their adventures in Sea of Thieves.

History
Pets were originally planned to be added as microtransactions in 2018, 3 months after Sea of Thieves release, however due to the community's concerns regarding the state of the game at release, Rare chose to rework their Content Update roadmap and postpone Pets in order to focus their efforts on releasing several free campaigns and updates. By 2019, Rare had announced that Pets would be arriving as part of a Mega Update, later renamed the Anniversary Update, to mark the game's One Year Anniversary. However, due to feedback from Player testing on their Insider Programme, Rare once again postponed Pets to work on bugs and user interactions. A few months later, Rare finally deemed Pets ready, and they were released as part of the Pirate Emporium grand opening in the September 2019 Content Update, Smuggler’s Fortune. The release came with two species types of both Monkeys and Parrots, offering a variety of colours to choose from. With The Seabound Soul Content Update, 2 new species of pets were added: the Marmoset and Cockatoo. 3 species of Cats were added during the Ships of Fortune Update: the Wildcat, Ragamuffin, and Mau. The September 2020 Vaults of the Ancients update introduced Dogs like Alsatians, Whippets and Inus to The Sea of Thieves.

Acquiring Pets
Pets can be purchased from the Pirate Emporium with Ancient Coins. Ancient Coins can be acquired in Bundles in exchange for real money or as drops from the rare Ancient Skeletons that can spawn on Islands in both Adventure Mode and Arena.

Mechanics
All Pets can be picked up to hang out in the Player Pirate's hand. Here, the  will pet the pet while   will offer the pet to be picked up by another Pirate. Any held Pets can be dropped with the  button.

All pets are mechanically mostly the same with their main differences being visual. Larger pets like Cats and Dogs have different hangout spots from smaller pets like Monkeys and Parrots. Each Pet type has three different Breeds or Species with a variety of 5 different coat-colours. Each Pet type has different animations, sounds and reactions to Emotes.

When left by themselves, Pets will roam around the Ship and hang out on different perching spots when their owner is on board. When the owner leaves the Ship, pets will generally follow them around. Pets can be Picked up and placed by anyone. When picked up, Pets can be petted or shown off by raising them, after which they perform various actions.

Pets can get dirty after being shot from a Cannon. A dirty Pet will be nearly completely black from dirt or soot. Dirty pets can be cleaned with most sources of Water.

Equipping Pets
Players can browse for and Equip any Pets that they own at a Pet Chest. These Chests can be found on Ships or by the Pirate Emporium Shop on each Outpost. The Chests can also be used to equip and unequip any owned Pet Outfits on Pets.

Once equipped, Players can give their Pet a name to distinguish them from other Pets. Pets can be renamed at all times. An unnamed pet will simply show the pet’s species as its name.

If a player wishes to get rid of their Pet, they can simply unequip a Pet at the Pet Chest.

Hangout Spots
Pets held in hand can be placed on top of various Hangout or Perching Spots on Ships and Outposts with the  button. When facing a hangout spot with a held Pet, a prompt will signify that the Pet can be placed on top of it.

When left alone on a Ship, pets can pick any of the hangout spots to sleep or rest at, but they usually change positions or leave once their owner leaves the Ship. Some of these hangout spots are picked by the Pets themselves and cannot be interacted with by the Player. Any pets that have manually been placed on the Ship will stay there as long as it is deemed “safe” for them. Pets will leave a hangout spot and cannot be placed on top of it if the spot is submerged in water or the Ship has sunk.

The following is a list of all the hangout spots that Pets can be placed on. (Note that big pets like Cats and Dogs cannot use most of these):
 * Any free surface on the side railings of the Ships
