About

Roasting tortoise shell under the star-ribboned sky or in the darkling vaults of Qud can get lonely. Thankfully, Pets of Harvest Dawn offers thirteen unique companions to keep you company. From the loyal bark of Hylaeus, to the swooning proclamations of E-Ros, to the terrifying astral gaze of Gloaming, you uttering "live and drink" will never go unanswered again. Whenever you start a new game, choose one of these 13 pets to accompany you. Some are combat-oriented, some have special utility powers. Some are just a pleasure to talk to.
