# Pets ✦

Companion units that follow your run.

Pets add utility, pressure, or sustain without adding more buttons.

{% hint style="info" %}
The current pet lineup is **Gen 1**.

There are **3 pets** right now, and each one has a clear role.
{% endhint %}

### What pets add to a run

{% columns %}
{% column %}

#### Extra value

Pets keep adding impact while you move.

That fits the auto-combat loop well.
{% endcolumn %}

{% column %}

#### Low input

Pets work automatically.

They should support decisions, not create button overload.
{% endcolumn %}

{% column %}

#### Build identity

Each pet pushes a different run pattern.

That gives players clearer playstyle choices.
{% endcolumn %}
{% endcolumns %}

### How pets should feel in play

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Clear role

A player should understand the pet value immediately.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Passive support

Pets should help the run without fighting player control.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Useful, not mandatory

A pet should improve a run.

It should not replace movement, dodging, or upgrade choices.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
