Taming and pet handling are two of the most fascinating professions in Entropia Universe. You can tame pets by using a whip and once tamed you can train them to accomplish various tasks or acquire specific features. Pets can also give additional powers to their owners. The pet system brings a special dimension to the game and creates an additional level of interactivity for the players.
New Pets:
With Entropia Universe Version Update 15.15.7.3 and Monria VU 3.0 content, five new tamable creatures have been discovered on Monria.
One of them, Yog Hatchling, can easily be found in the Hidden Crystal Cavern. Leprechaun Blue, Leprechaun White, Leprechaun Gold and Yog Horror are also found in the Hidden Crystal Cavern but they are rare.
Classified Strongboxes:
Classified Stongboxes can be bought directly from the Entropia Universe Webshop. They contain unknown treasures, including some pets that cannot be found otherwise. Cats, dogs and pandas are only available this way, each variety being offered with three different levels of rarity.
In Classified Strongboxes you can also find Pet Name Tags that allow existing pets to be renamed and Artemic Rings that employ neuroconductive technology to improve affinity with tamable creatures.
Entropia Universe Passive Effects:
Pets can unlock passive effects when they have reached a certain level and specific criteria are met. Each tamable creature type has a different set of unlockable abilities. Most pets possess the ability 'Skill Gain- Pet and Taming'. Corinthian Kanin possesses the ability 'Acceleration' instead, and this makes this pet quite interesting for this reason. Rare and unusual types have additional possibilities. To unlock a passive effect, the Unlock Status must reach 100%. For the ability 'Skill Gain - Pet and Taming', this is obtained by taming other creatures while your pet is summoned.
Pet Center Management:
The Pet Center Management terminal that can be found at each stable location proposes a selection of pet buffs. These buffs act in the same way as buffs provided by consumables, but there are only active if the pet is summoned and has reached the "Love" affection level (75% affection). Available pet buffs can differ from one stable to another as each stable owner can choose which buffs he wants to offer to his customers.
The Pet Center Management terminal also proposes an Animal Essence extract utility, which is free of cost. This utility extracts Animal Essence from any chosen pet, and this results in 1 to 3 containers of essence with a possibility of a rare variant. In this process the pet is definitely destroyed, so be careful to only use unwanted pets for this purpose.
Tamable Creatures:
Pets belong to three different categories: 1) 'Ancient' pets are creatures that could be tamed in the old taming system before August 2009. They still exist as pets but cannot be tamed in the wild anymore. They are considered as 'Legendary'. 2) 'Classical' pets have been introduced from the second half of 2014. In terms of appearance, they completely fit in the current design of the game, and are often based on pre-existing creatures. 3)
Stables:
Stables are present on the different planets of Entropia Universe. Large, old planets such as Planet Calypso can have as many as six different stables in different locations. Small, nascent planets such as Planet Toulan and Monria (often considered as a moon) have only one. Stables are currently places where you can find Pet Center Management terminals that offer a selection of pet buffs and an Animal Essence extract utility [...]
