Hi
As you probably know in Don't Starve Together is Pet mechanic. You can adopt pet by craft them near Rock Den, but do you think it's a little forgotten?
Last new pet was added in november 2021 in crossover with Terraria - it was almost 3 YEARS AGO, after that we get skins for pets... And I feel like Klei could add more pets in some QoL update, you probably want ask - why? It's a very simple - just for fun, and new pets could have a little perk when they're full like Mothling is shining when it's full.
There's a lot pets that could be add to game, some examples:
- Shader - Mini version of Fused Shadeling, crafting from 1x Pure Horror 1x Fist Full of Jam (it should imitate Dread Mite I guess xD) - this mob can absorbe miasma, also it reduces range from shadow aligned mobs will start attack you. Custom animations could be so scary and maybe Shader could hide for a while in other objects almost like mimic? (it's shadow aligned mob)
- Friendly Gestalt Pet - Mini version of Gestalt, crafting from 1x Pure Brilliance 1x Wet Goop (I had no idea which crock pot dish should be here), it's similar to friendly gestalt from Celestial Champion's Crown - this pet could be usefull cause player with this pet needs to be hit by gestalt three times to fall asleep, also it reduces range from lunar aligned mobs will start attack you. Custom animations should be a dance with owner, and when Friendly Gestalt is hungry it could scarry as and try to attack us (but it's only bait, it will always miss it, also it's lunar aligned mob too)
-
Crustacean - It's a mix of mini crab and crustashine, crafting from 1x Broken Shell 1x Barnacle Pita, little crab, and I think this is controversial, but I think if we go close Pearl (Crabby Hermit) with this pet and let them play together for a while, Crabby Hermit will get another friendship point, also custom animation like dig into ground to hide to play with owner
- Moonkey - Mini version of Powder Monkey, crafting from 1x Accursed Trinket 1x Banana Shake - it haven't any perks, but Moonkey has a custom animations with boad stuff like Moonkey could dance in mast or looking around, looking inside Tin Fishin' Bin, help us with roll up Anchor Kit etc. I think it could be so SO cute stuff for salty dogs <3
That's my ideas, if you have others ideas - drop it, or give opinion what do you think about my ideas, what you would to change etc., have a nice day and see you!
PS: Sorry everyone for my english, I know it's so bad heh, also sorry if I start this topic in bad section, but I thought it's the best place to start it
