Creature Pet Healing

If you have at least the Novice Medic skill, you can heal your pet's damage with stimpacks, just as you would another player. Even if you have no medical skills, you can use Pet Stimpacks (which are made by Bio-Engineers) to keep your pet healthy in battle. They are a special kind of stim that can only be used on pets. They are different in that they require *no special skills* to use (and therefore give no xp either), and also work on a different timer than do normal medical stims, so a CH or Medic that has the medical skills to use normal stims can use both on his/her pet (or medical on themself and pet stims on their creature). The heal timer using pet stims is 15 seconds.


Pets can be wounded like players, as well. If your pet takes a Health or Action wound, you can heal it by feeding the pet after battle. Your pet will think "(Fido) Hungry!" out loud when it has such a wound (if its name is 'Fido'). Pets will eat anything players can eat, so travel biscuits are just as good as melons for this (beverages cannot be used... only food). If the item of food has multiple charges, the pet will only consume one charge per feeding. Food will not heal health and action damage. Pets can be fed by using the radial menu on the food and clicking Feed or by clicking on the pet and clicking on Feed within the radial menu there. Using the radial on the pet will cause a random valid food item in the inventory to be chosen to be fed to the pet. Optionally a player may drag and drop a food item onto the pet from the inventory.


If your pet takes a Mind Wound or battle fatigue, you'll need to Play with your pet. Your pet will think "Fido Play!" out loud when it has a Mind wound (if it's name is 'Fido'). In order to play with your pet, you'll need to have taught it one of the two pet Tricks (which you get by advancing to Creature Empathy I and Creature Empathy II). Simply say the phrase that you bound to the trick, and the pet will do it (and heal his Mind wounds). The second trick heals more wounds per use than the first, but it may take several uses of either trick to fully heal your pet (depending on how many Mind wounds it has). Using Tricks will also heal the pet's mind pool as well and they cannot be performed during combat.


TRICK1 and TRICK2 will not automatically heal all of a pets mind wounds and damage. Per use, TRICK1 will heal up to 20% of the creature's mind, focus and willpower wounds and damage while TRICK2 will heal up to 40% of the creatures mind, focus and willpower wounds and damage.

  • Pets "Hungry!" and "Play!" spam will only be visible to the pet's master

Buffing Pets

Pets have their stats buffed like players either through consumption of foods or through doctor enhancements. In order to buff a pet through foods, the player must drag and drop a food item onto the pet from the inventory. If the item of food has multiple charges, the pet will only consume one charge per feeding.
