Pets, Mounts and other Companions

pet gens | cats and dogs | horses | other pets

People love their pets in real life and in RPGs too. Paladin mounts, witch familiars, ranger and druid animal companions. So here are some tools to create and customise pets for your games.

We have complete pet generators for all-in-one regular or fantasy pets. If you specifically want feline or canine friends then the cats and dogs section is for you. Horses are always popular as mounts or friends as are their relatives unicorns and pegasi.

Lastly you might want other pets, be they more animals, pokemon, space pets or robots.

Pet Generators

Your magical pet is a large white male parrot with the ability to sense evil. He has a forehead marking in the shape of a star. He gets lost easily and is not very neat.

If you want more complete pet descriptions then you can find earth-like versions at the Pet Generator or more fantastical ones in 100 Familiars/Pets

For a pet name try the Pet Name Generator with results such as "Eclipse", "Sasha", "Voltron", "Buffy" and "Rush"

For D&D specific random tables I've created Pets, Familiars and Companions on DM's Guild

Dogs have been companions of humanity since we were hunter-gatherers. And that continues into fantasy and space games with the Pet Dog Name Generator. For a wolf or more ferocious dog consider the Random Wolf Generator

Cats have been with us for thousands of years too and were revered in Egypt. Name your felines with the Pet Cat Name or create a complete one with the Random Cat Generator

If your rpg character has a mount, it's more likely to be a type of horse than not. If you want to get attached to your horse then the Pet Horse Name Generator awaits. As does it's companion the Horse Name Generator which has more heroic-sounding names

There's also a fascination for magical horses, with an option for several Magical Legend Ponies at one at a time with the Marvellous Technicolor Pony Maker.

They're generally carefree by nature and can often be found in large forests. If you're out looking for them they can often be seen lurking about and on their own. It tends to attack with Light of Ruin and Geomancy. It has evolve once and can still evolve into one of two potential evolutions.

For other pet animals and the option of multiple results there is an Animal Companion Generator or a more detailed Animal Description. If you want owls in particular then the Companion Owl Generator is for you

If aliens are more your thing there is a Pet Alien Name Generator or a small selection of Space Pets. For something bizarre then the Random Robot Generator might make a suitable companion.
