Patch 1.06 documented special mounts including bears, boars, wolves, deer, mountain goats, Kuku birds, iguanas, raptors, camels, lions and tigers.

Patch 1.08 added 20 small-animal species and Baby Wyverns as pets. Patch 1.10 added growth for Kuku Bird Chicks and Baby Wyverns, allowing supported conversion to special mounts after sufficient growth.

The guide does not claim growth time or feed quantity without a verified test.

Special-mount saddles use the dedicated inventory tab. Pet equipment and mount equipment are not interchangeable. Confirm species compatibility in the live item description.

  • keep inventory capacity available when pets collect items;
  • do not release a creature to diagnose another problem;
  • save before growth conversion;
  • record the active quick-slot assignment;
  • confirm equipment survives character switching and reload;
  • preserve the exact pet name when reporting a console keyboard freeze.

PlayStation can freeze if characters are entered rapidly while naming a pet or horse. Enter characters slowly with brief pauses until the issue is resolved.
