Pets in beta?

I don’t know if we are getting pets that follow you like an Npc but i think you’ll be able to have a parrot on your shoulder... which is not really a pet but....it’s cool i think

I would love to see pets in this game even if they are cosmetic. In the cinematic trailer there was both a cat and a colorful parrot both of which I would love to see in the game. There was also concept art for a rat.

Other ideas for pets that could sit atop your shoulder and act as cool and interesting cosmetics are an eagle, an owl, or a monkey.

Having a dog that could help sniff out treasure would be cool, although I don't know how well that would fit into the game to give that function to an ai controlled pet rather then a fellow player/teammate.

I would like a parrot who would perch on your shoulder and sometimes take flight above your head, especially during hairy times!

can i have a turtle pet that carries me when i fall overboard? it can act as a shark shield

It would be cool to have pets that have different perks. For instance, a parrot could give a different viewpoint or a monkey that fetches bananas! All animals would be accessible to players but you can only choose one at a time.

I would love to have a chicken. Either on my shoulder or following me.
