Pets are a branch of wild animals that can be tamed in Harvest Moon: The Winds of Anthos alongside mounts. They are divided into two separate categories - large pets that are kept in the barn and small pets that are kept in the player's house. Each species as a pet will perform a different task or be able to provides a boost after being interacted with by the player.
Wild Animals can be found all over the world and befriended by the player by petting them and giving them items- being able to be tamed after reaching max friendship. Different types of animals can be found in different areas and during different times of day and different seasons.
Befriending Wildlife[]
The first time you encounter an animal each day, they will flee from the player and disappear from view unless the player is crouching until they pet them. Some animals are extra skittish and will require you to walk even slower or will startle from a further distance than others so be careful! Once the red exclamation mark appears above the head of at least one animal in the group, you must crouch and remain crouched until you pet ALL animals in the group. The player will then be able to freely pet and gift each animal to raise their affection and after reaching eight music notes you will be able to bring them home.
Once tamed, you can't just start neglecting your pets! Their skills will only become active when they are at max affection with the player. They can be pet and given a gift daily just as before. Additionally, small pets can be picked up. These domesticated animals will have their own gift preferences, and these will be unique to each individual animal so two animals of the same species may have two different favorite gifts.
