Pets in Descend Online aren't just glorified gifs, these are entities that will react to how you play the game and develop a unique behaviour pattern, akin to a personality, see ML Agents Pets will also offer certain perks/stats that can aid you in different ways in terms of exploration and combat (PvE & PvP), so they may become a necessity for min-maxing builds and late game events.
Due to their high cost, energy in obtaining, demand & scarcity, Pets are by design exclusive in nature, making them instant status symbols.
Pets randomly wander around the world, even in Eden! Others are hidden from poachers & hunters, and some are so rare that they only spawn within specific areas we will come to define in the pipeline. Also, each pet will have a unique base identity which not only creates novelty interactions and interesting characters but varying degrees of difficulties about their capture.
Gotta catch 'em all...
Some animals love a certain food. Build trust by feeding them. Once fed enough food (some are resource fiends) it will begin to trust and follow you.
Some wildlife must be caught by placing a trap and ensnaring it. With a chance for it to escape, creating a potentially expensive grind.
Others require a magical relic that allows you to speak with the beast, where you must charm it with dialogue.
Finally some creatures require a sacred instrument to enchant them with music.
Pets will have rarity tiers [WIP], which will also affect their combat prowess:
Common, Rare, Exotic, Mythic & Ascended.
