About Pets

From Thunderstore

Adds Cats, Dogs, and Farm Animals as pets, along with mounts that drop from bosses and elite monsters at a rare 1‑in‑100 chance by default. A total of 37 Pets and 10 Mounts!

  • This is the combination of some of the Cats, Dogs, Farmheim and Odin Mounts creatures all in one mod slightly redesigned.
  • I purchased this to make sure that people will have access this forever on thunderstore and hexium. These assets are used in a slightly different way based on a ultra rare drop system similar to oldschool runescape.

You can still configure things however you like.

Pets:

| Pets | Drop Item Name | Variations | Drops From | |--------------|----------------|------------|-------------------| | Dogs | Dog Gift Box | 17 | Greydwarf Brute | Cats | Cat Gift Box | 11 | Greydwarf Shaman | Baby Chicken | Chick Cage | 3 | Serpent | Baby Donkey | Donkey Cage | 1 | Fuling Berserker | Baby Duck | Duckling Cage | 1 | Bonemaw | Baby Goat | Goatling Cage | 1 | Stone Golem | Baby Pig | Piggy Cage | 1 | Draugr Elite | Baby Lamb | Lamb Cage | 1 | Ulv | Baby Bunny | Bunny Cage | 1 | Seeker Soldier

  • There are a grand total of 37 pets and they all have a 1 in 100 chance by default to drop from the monsters listed above.

Mounts:

| Mounts | Drop Item Name | Drops From | |---------------------|-------------------------|-----------------| | War Elephant | War Elephant Egg | Yagluth | | Fire War Elephant | War Elephant Fire Egg | Fader | | Ice War Elephant | War Elephant Ice Egg | The Queen | | Fire Raptor | Fire Creature Egg | Morgen | | Ice Raptor | Ice Creature Egg | Fenring | | Toxic Raptor | Toxic Creature Egg | Abomination | | Undead Fire Horse | Egg Undead Horse Fire | Fallen Valkyrie | | Undead Ice Horse | Egg Undead Horse Ice | Moder | | Undead Toxic Horse | Egg Undead Horse Rotten | Bonemass | | Undead Rotten Horse | Egg Undead Horse Toxic | Gjall |

*There are a grand total of 10 mounts and they all have a 1 in 100 chance by default to drop from the monsters listed above.


How the Pets/Mounts work:

  • The pets and mounts do not have any growth stages, they stay the same forever.
  • The Cats, Dogs and Mounts can attack. The farm animals can not attack.
  • You can adjust the pets/mounts damage and health in the configs.
  • The mounts already have a saddle on them ready to ride.

How drop items work:

  • Drop items take 40 seconds to hatch.
  • If a pet or mount is killed they will drop the spawn item upon death and they will hatch again in 40 seconds.
  • You can also kill your pets or mounts with a butchers knife if friendly fire is turned on.
  • By default the drop items are a 1 in 100 chance to drop from their monsters. You can edit this in the configs to be whatever you like.

Trader Options:

  • By default these drops are not at the trader, but you can configure them to be sold at the traders for whatever value you want!
  • Below is an example of how easy it is to add these drops to the trader if you desire to add them to either Haldor or Hildir.

Config file included:

  • A config file is included so that starred monsters do not drop more than 1 of the ultra rare item drops.

Recommended Mods:

The above mods help ensure you have the best experience in Valheim while managing your mods.

Pick one of the mods below for your build menu needs, but only one. They are basically the same thing. Legacy Build Menu has the old build menu enabled by default and has an @modname search. AAA Build Menu has more features and uses the new build menu by default. Both mods add a scroll bar to make sure you can always use all build pieces.
