Capture pods with dead pets in them have no red light, and attempting to use them will make a shaking sound. If a pet that is following you is killed, it will return to its capture pod. Pets will also follow you to your space ship if you beam up, and to other planets. They will teleport back to you though if you are more than 36 blocks away. Passive monsters must be attacked by the player for the pet to target them. Other pets will no longer attack NPCs and villagers, and will only attack hostile monsters or NPCs.

Pets such as critters and dogs cannot do anything. The monster can be a critter, passive, aggressive, or even a large monster, but it has to be under 50% health to be caught. The home planet pets are more aimed towards companionship while the space monster pets are more suited for combat.Ī monster can be caught by throwing a Capture Pod at it, which is crafted at the Pet Station. In addition to Starter Pets the player can tame many types of animals and monsters. Pets are NPCs that follow and usually assist the player in some way. For a list of all pets, see Category:Pets.
