Spread the love

You are wondering how to summon specific pets? This article will tell you how to call the available pets in Terraria. Pets are small animals that you can summon into Terraria. The pets will accompany you around and do completely nothing besides looking charming. You’ll have one pet called at a time, and they’re completely invincible. You can also dye the pets to change their appearance. For instance, you can turn your ordinary turtle into a demon turtle by dying it red.

This article will concentrate on pets, not light pets, which take up a separate equipment slot and actual function.

Let’s start with the pets you can summon on the pc version:

There is a way to get the Bunny, which involves going into your registry editor (regedit) to find Terraria—adding a string called “Bunny” and giving it a value of 1. When you go into the game, you will get a bunny.
