[h2]The developers have endowed pets with personality traits, and till current version, pets don't have much utility besides being cute and occasionally hungry.[/h2]

Following the principle of "use it or lose it," this mod was created to give purpose to these otherwise overlooked features.

Pets will acquire corresponding personality points based on their owner's behavior. After their personality is fixed, a prefix will be added to their name accordingly.

-- The original version comes with inherent traits. Please refer to the DST Wiki for more detail --

Once a pet gets its prefix, feeding it again will grant special buff or ability to the pet or yourself.
