Usually wild chickens can be found in the Mainlands. Commonly raised as farm animals for food and not much more. As of recent, some have taken a liking to their feathered friends and have kept them as pets. It is a regular sight to see them among the Commonwealth due to their simplicity in training and are known as a "poor man's pet." It is extremely rare to see them among nobles as they can be quite filthy if not groomed properly. Chickens can be quite kind and loving creatures once enough time has been spent with them. They are quite clingy to their owners and have a tendency to follow them around. Chickens often show affection to their owners by "talking" to them with small clucks or rubbing their beaks into a lifted paw or free foreleg.

Another popular pet among the Commonwealth are ducks. An animal that is found roaming the Lowlands where water takes a liking to. Though they might not appeal to only the lower class, as they have pretty feathers that some nobles, and those alike, decorate their fur with. Farmers and salesmen in the Marketplace hold them in high regard. Mainly for food, but some can be offered as pets to those who find a certain shine in the waterfowl's eyes. They are easygoing pets that can be easily trained to follow around at a wolf's beckon and call. Ducks show their signs of loyalty and love to a wolf by nibbling on the sides of their fur and grooming the miscellaneous debris out.

Skittish by nature, it is much harder to come across rabbits as pets. They stay mostly in the realm of the Highlands. A pet seen mostly in makeshift cages in the Market; being sold off as a nice meal to those who can afford them. Soft to the touch if you approach gently and quietly. At first, they are nervous pets who seem to need to be bound against their owner. Born with natural anxiety, they are high maintenance but give off immense affection in return. Rabbits can be known to be quite the cuddlers and are the more so "prettier" pets, which means they can be seen hopping around Castle Stuart alongside their noble owners

Sheep are adored for their warm fleeces and beloved as companions in colder parts of the region. They are known for being ideal cuddle buddies and "alarms" for approaching wolves due to their bleating. Easily herded, sheep have rather docile temperaments. It is noted that some wolves have acquired a taste for lambs and may hunt them when their parents and owners are otherwise distracted. This can often spook the sheep and cause them to run away.

Long herded by smaller communities , goats have become common companions , especially wherever there are rocky outcroppings for them to do their kicks and tricks on. They became popularized as pets when a popular singer named Cipheri said "it's a goat, that means it's cute."

Fluffy, large, and impressively calm, the Highland cow is more of an unusual pet to keep. However, when a small clan had trouble in famine and therefore milk production among their mothers, they supplemented with cow's milk. Miraculously, the pups survived when all were expected to die. As a result, the Highland Cow has been seen as a wise choice to keep. However, they need a large amount of area to graze and are difficult to befriend. More than one wolf has died with a hoof to the head.

Squirrels can be found virtually everywhere, scurrying across branches in nearly every territory. Wary and sassy by nature, a squirrel is more likely to leap just out of a wolf’s reach and chitter in its face than to sit comfortably on a shoulder. However, if a wolf manages to tame this zany creature, it can be taught to do incredible tricks, such as flipping and fetching! Squirrels are challenging but energetic pets and need to be constantly entertained.

Timid and naturally solitary, these critters can only be spotted by the keenest eyes on the borders of Perth and Aberdeen, though they’re more likely found in the hedgerows around Melrose, Edinburgh, and Castle Stuart. Long snouts will sniff an approaching wolf for mere moments before disappearing in a hissing, trembling ball of quills! The most determined and patient tamers can gain the trust of a hedgehog, and knowing their favorite treats helps. The diet consists of berries, roots, various insects, and crunchy mealworms. Hedgehogs will spend golden afternoons clambering over the limbs of trusted owners, gnawing gently on fur to soak in the special scent and taste, and running marathons for fun

Frogs make unusual and unsociable pets. However, some wolves are drawn to their unique qualities and natural camouflage. These amphibians can be found in locations with plenty of freshwater: the lake in Perth; the riverbeds of the Fae Forest; Mirror Lake; and the mysterious Wyrwood. Their association with medicine and swamps means that anyone owning a pet frog may be subjected to accusations of witchcraft. Be sure to keep them wet and warm for their well-being.

Tortoises come in a variety of sizes, colors, and levels of intelligence. Similarly, they can be found in several different habitats: the arid fields of Inverness; the sandy swath of Aberdeen; and the dense Yorkshire forest. Myths pervade that tortoises are slow creatures, but they are constantly on the move. The warmer the weather, the more active they are. Tortoises can be found crawling in underbrush and prefer to avoid bodies of water, but a good mudbath is a different matter entirely. Catching them is easy, but gaining their trust is the biggest challenge as they show little to no emotion. Feeding them grass, leaves, berries, fruits and vegetables and fungi will keep them happy.

Holed up in the Highlands, pine martens can be found hiding in the crags of the mountains as well as stowed away in deeper parts of the forests. They tend to be found in other places, but are in abundance where the great heights can be obtained. Pine martens catch the eye of those looking for a hunting companion, or someone looking to steal valuable items away when someone is distracted or out. They can be quite the bother if left to their own devices, either tearing up dens or eating way too much. Their owner must keep them busy with tasks or on the go with them during their daily routines, otherwise these creatures can become restless and aggressive.

Polecats are commonly known to take up homes in the Lowlands, but can be found almost anywhere there are old buildings to nest in or fresh airy spaces where they can hunt freely. They are known to be problematic, more so than their alike cousin, the pine martens. If you're wanting to catch a glimpse, you can find them amid the market-place where either nobles wear them around their shoulders or tamers sell them for high prices. The frolicking creatures are an eye catcher to hunters, nobles, and thieves. Common predators to pests of different sizes, they well known size up even larger predators than themselves. Polecats tend to be kind to those they deem as worthy and keep close when they can — even if they are told to stay, they mostly follow their owners, wanting to keep them safe and company on their many adventures.

Flying differently than any other bird known, hummingbirds are uncommon pets, but not because they are unwanted. Nobles as much as common folk seek these nervous creatures. They are quite fast and easy to frighten. Those who search for hummingbirds want to keep them for various reasons. Most think they just look pretty, and show them off as much as they would a new pelt or bouquet from their love. But those who are interested in agriculture or medicinal herbs seek them for the genetic diversity that they bring to plants that they pollinate. They can be found buzzing around the Lowlands, most commonly, flitting from flower to flower, garden to garden. Good luck getting one to stay in the same spot long enough to tame it. Most tamers find this bird quite the challenge!

These stinky little creatures make quite the pet to own. Most turn their heads at these fellows, especially nobles. Though, skunks are good for a variety of reasons. Farmers often use them for keeping their crops free of pests that plague most gardens. Some turn them into body guards, using their spray as means to keep others either off their trail or to threaten when one gets too close. Otherwise, they make wonderful companions once bonded to their owner. A loyal follower of whomever provides them a good home. This is all dependent on the skunk, of course. These creatures can mostly be found in the Mainlands, where forests are in abundance.

Curious little creatures, muntjacs be. Not quite a deer, but close. They are small and sturdy creatures with short antlers which slope backwards on their heads. Their most identifiable characteristic is often the small fangs that poke through their upper lips. They are known for their "barking" calls, which often haunt the woods at dusk. They are as elusive as deer and just as shy around other wildlife.

Minks are a mix between an otter and a weasel, and maybe a cat. Brown-colored and agile, the mink feeds on anything it can get its paws on and are opportunistic hunters. They are also excellent swimmers, often building their dens close to water. They are known to be mischievous and a little wily, and any owner should be aware that a mink's first duty is to itself. Hide your valuables, or anything you don't want it to steal away with!

Otters are shy, elusive creature. River otters tend to be opportunistic hunters and, while they are most comfortable in the water, they are swift on land as well. They have a reputation for being playful and bashful in equal measures, and make excellent companions for those who want to work a little harder to earn their trust.

Puffins are distinctly marked birds with large orange and black beaks. They are found most often in rocky colonies along seaside coasts, and are very social creatures. To tame a puffin is to recognize that they will need constant companionship and a cold breeze in their feathers...

Most commonly found in the Mainland's densely wooded areas, foxes are typically regarded as pests. They love preying upon chicken and duck farms and are known to be clever opportunists. Commonly hunted for their brilliant pelts, foxes are difficult to keep safe as pets. Not only do they run the risk of hurting your neighbors' pets and livestock, they can be trapped and killed by merchants and tradesmen. As such, it is important that a fox owner be watchful and mindful of these dangers. After all, foxes are rewarding pets. They fit neatly into a wolf's life and are easily fed. They are clever companions and are able to learn simple commands.

Often found roaming the Highlands, the Scottish Wildcat is a skilled predator with excellent night vision. Carnivores, the scottish wildcat is a capable hunter of small mammals and birds, although they have been known to pick over the corpses left after a wolf pack finishes off its kill. Given their incredible hunting skills, it is not uncommon for a scottish wildcat to pick a rabbit farm as a hunting ground. This puts the cat in tension with its wolven neighbors, and they are often chased off or hunted down as pests. Nonetheless, they do keep mice at bay and some wise farmers have formed a synergy with the wildcats: they get scraps and runts and in return keep the mouse and rat population low. As such, they are not hated nearly as much as foxes. Their furs are also less desirable, making them unlikely to come to harm from other wolves. As a pet, the scottish wildcat has a tendency to be reclusive and a tad moody. However, when they do show affection, their purring is incredibly loud and they have a tendency to knead "biscuits" into their owner's fur.

Frequently, badgers are found tied to the Lowlands, in connection to the prey that they find desirable. They traipse anywhere they please with no concern for those around them. Almost at the top of the food chain, badgers can be a pain to tame. They are knowledgeable enough to know that they can get away and are mainly bribed with food to become companions to their owners. Badgers can be lazy, found in farmer's chicken pens, wherever wolves throw their scraps, or stealing what looks appetizing. When they are approached, whether taming or shooing off, aggression comes off in thick waves and it can end up where wolves get serious injuries if not careful of their strength and agility. Even after all these issues, they are still found in high regard to those who can train them right. Those who see eye-to-eye with them seem to have a closer bond. Close enough to where badgers will share whatever they find with them

An uncommon creature found in the Lowlands, newts are semiaquatic and known for their striking orange scales. Due to their large, wide-set eyes, they are often a favorite among children to capture and play with. Similar to frogs, newts tend to be rather unsociable pets. They also require access to water, although many prefer stagnant pools as opposed to rushing rivers. Still, some are not afraid to come close to them and brush a paw over their rough skin.

Selectable Variants: Fruit Bat & Vampire Bat
The fruit bat, also known as the "flying fox", is not uncommon. These large bats feast on the various fruits that the many tress of the nation provide. And, while they enjoy roosting high within pear and peach trees, it is not uncommon for them to take over the rotting rafters of various castles and high-ceilinged buildings. As such, they can sometimes be viewed as pests. Their distinctly fox-like faces, however, make them desirable pets. Despite being shy, many heiresses and poets alike seek these bats to amplify their muse and provide quiet company. Vampire bats, while less cute, are also an option.

No one knows where they came from or how they made their way onto the continents, but cats have quickly started to make their mark. While distinctly unfriendly to wolves—what with their willingness to scratch and near constant hissing when a wolf comes close—some have started to assimilate into civilized society. Drawn to feed upon the scraps left by butchers and the mice that like to dig through an apothecary's stores, cats have begun to integrate. No longer the pests they once were, some have started to show remarkable affection for the wolves they share the lands with. And, in truth, who could deny their adorable little faces?

Found predominantly within the Highlands or the Mainlands depending on the species, owls are shockingly silent hunters. Long used as symbols of wisdom, owls were never converted into message carriers out of superstition and respect. Now, some eccentrics have started to train the birds due to the majestic aura that they add to any proper rookery. While particularly aloof and proud, owls have become more and more common in society. That said, they are largely nocturnal and bond best with wolves that keep similar hours.

A universal symbol of peace, doves are beautiful and serene birds. They do not have much weight to them, so they are not suitable for sending messages, but they are very companionable creatures with a soft, mourning cry.

A non-venomous frequent flier of the lands, the grass snake is a semi-aquatic creature found most often near rivers, streams, and lakes. Its prey of choice is amphibian in nature. It typically is dark green or brown in color, with a yellow or white collar behind its rounded head. As far as snakes go, they are not particularly shy, nor are they particularly outgoing. They don't mind wolves, but tend to be slightly cautious creatures.

An adder is a common venomous snake known for its thick body, large head, and sides that are almost flat. Their coloration varies between dark brown to light brown and tan. They are comfortable in most habitats. As their venomous nature suggests, they tend to be tempermental and easily threatened, and are not a companion for the faint of heart.
