Terraria Pets are unique summons that the player can get as rewards for accomplishing several different things in the game.
They do not provide any tangible benefits such as attack bonuses or unique abilities; they simply exist as adorable companions that follow you around everywhere you go.
Either way, they’re really cool to collect, so this guide will show you how to get all of them on the main PC version of the game.
