Inventory Pets

Official Shadows of Aethro Documentation

The Living Inventory

In the Shadows of Aethro world, your inventory is a habitat. Inventory Pets are small, animated creatures that grant incredible buffs in exchange for care and food. They must be held in your hotbar to function.

Core Mechanics

Before you begin your journey, master these three concepts:

Feeding

Pets consume food automatically. If they run out, their abilities stop instantly.

The Feed Bag

Store all your pet foods in one bag to save inventory space. Pets will pull from it automatically.

Hotbar Rule

Passive abilities only trigger if the pet is in your 1-9 slots or an active Curios slot.
