Players can choose to hatch Pets from eggs and hatching potions.
The eggs and potions, depending on their type, can be obtained from random drops when completing tasks, or from quests, and can be purchased with gems in the Market. Additionally, special pets may be awarded for special events.
Pets do not require food, but most pets can be fed so that they grow into mounts. Special and Wacky pets cannot be raised into mounts.
Pets, like mounts, are purely aesthetic – they do not provide in-game bonuses of any sort.
Obtaining Pets[]
Inventory with eggs and hatching potions.
- You need one egg and one hatching potion to hatch a pet (with the exception of non-hatchable special pets).
- For Generation 1, magic, and quest pets, each egg and hatching potion combination can only be used twice. The first time gives you the pet that can be fed and raised to a mount. The second time gives you a pet which cannot be fed.
- You can only have one pet and one mount of each type. The only exception is for Generation 1 pets by releasing your pets using the Key to the Kennels.
- Wacky pets can only be hatched once and cannot be fed as they have no mount form. Special pets can be obtained from certain special events and also cannot be fed as they have no mount form.
Website[]
Purple outline around tiger egg and no outline around fox egg. A tiger, but not a fox, can be hatched with the selected potion.
- Go to the Inventory page (direct link).
- Click a potion to see usable eggs outlined in purple.
- Clicking a second time deselects the potion so you can choose another one.
- You may also start the hatching process with selecting an egg.
- Position the potion over the egg you want to hatch and click.
- A pop-up informs you of your new pet in the stable. If you already have a pet of that type, nothing will happen and the potion will be deselected.
You are also able to hatch eggs directly from the Stable. In the Stable, the paw prints representing pets you have not yet obtained will be grey if you do not have the necessary egg and potion to hatch it, or black if you do. Hovering your mouse over a black paw print will bring up a pop-up confirming you have the necessary ingredients, and clicking the black paw print will provide you the option to hatch the identified pet directly. Note: pet images waiting to be rehatched after growing into a mount will still be displayed as grey, but it will still function like the description above if you have the correct hatching ingredients.
Mobile[]
Follow these instructions if you are using the iOS app:
- Go to Inventory -> Items
- Tap the egg you'd like to hatch, then tap the hatching potion you'd like to pour over that egg. Potions that have already been used to hatch a pet will appear in grey.
- You can also start the process by tapping a potion first, and then an egg. Similar to the process above, eggs that have already been hatched will appear in grey.
- You can cancel the hatching process by tapping Cancel in the top left corner before tapping the second item.
Follow these instructions if you are using the Android app:
- Go to Inventory -> Items
- Tap the egg you'd like to hatch, select the "Hatch with potion" option that pops up, and then tap the hatching potion you'd like to pour over that egg.
- You can also start the process by tapping a potion first, and then an egg.
- You can cancel the hatching process by tapping the Back button in your navigation bar
Upon hatching your first pet, you will receive a non-stackable achievement.
Stable[]
You can see all of the pets you have collected in the Stable page under the Inventory section (direct link). Here, you can select which pet you want to appear next to your character. Click on the pet of your choice to display it by your side. Click again to remove it. To change pets, click on the new pet.
Matt, the Beast Master, will keep your pets organized in the Pets tab. The pets are sorted in rows according to species and the different breeds within each species are sorted in columns. Pets that haven't yet hatched appear as silhouettes of paw prints. Matt also keeps track of how close you are to the "Beast Master" achievement in a numerical form.
A player's stable page
Pictured are a Cotton Candy Blue Fox pet that has been raised to a Mount (items not available for re-hatch), a re-hatched Golden Fox pet, and two other foxes, each with a Food Bar.
As you feed your pets, the Food Bar below them will turn green. Feeding a pet something that it does not like will fill the bar by less than when you feed it something that it does like. For more information about food preferences, see the Food Preferences page. When the bar is full, the pet will transform into a Mount and the pet's image will appear ghostly and faded if you do not have the items to hatch for a second time. If you do have the items to hatch it for a second time, an egg and potion bottle will appear instead. If a pet is hatched a second time, the pet's image will appear in full color without the Food Bar.
Generation 1 Pets[]
The following table displays all the Generation 1 (Gen 1) pets currently available through random drops. This table is hidden to avoid spoilers.
Gen 1 pets are hatched from the eggs (bear cub, cactus, dragon, flying pig, fox, lion cub, panda cub, tiger cub, wolf) and hatching potions (base, white, desert, red, shade, skeleton, zombie, cotton candy pink, cotton candy blue, golden) that you can obtain as random drops.

Gen 1 Pet Achievements[]
- Main article: Achievements
There are a number of achievements that require collecting Gen 1 pets. For a complete list, see the Achievements page.
Release Gen 1 Pets[]
- Main article: Key to the Kennels
If you currently have all 90 of the standard (Generation 1) pets in your stable, you can spend 4 gems to use the Key to the Pet Kennels to release them. It will only release your Generation 1 pets -- it will not affect Magic Potion, Special, Quest, or Wacky pets, and will not affect any mounts.
There is also a FREE Master Key to the Kennels if you have all 90 Generation 1 pets and all 90 Generation 1 mounts in your stable. It will only release your Generation 1 pets and mounts -- it will not affect Magic Potion, Special, Quest, or Wacky pets or mounts.
Magic Potion Pets[]
Magic potion pets are hatched from the same eggs as Generation 1 pets (they cannot be hatched from quest eggs) using magic hatching potions, and they will eat any food as if it was their preferred food (maximum growth). Most magic hatching potions are only available for a limited time, with the exception of the Royal Purple Hatching Potions, which were introduced as part of the Daily Check-In Incentives feature, and the quest-based Bronze, Silver, Amber, Ruby, Flourite, Wind-Up, Turquoise, Black Pearl, Mossy Stone, and Solar System potions. For more information on magic hatching potions, including availability and release dates, see the Hatching Potions page. Note that seasonal potions may not be available during the same time or event every year.

Wacky Potion Pets[]
Wacky potion pets are hatched from the same eggs as Generation 1 pets (they cannot be hatched from quest eggs) using wacky hatching potions, and cannot be fed as they have no mount form. Most wacky hatching potions are only available during or around Grand Galas and around community events. For more information on wacky hatching potions, including availability and release date, see the Hatching Potions page.
