Project Gorgon Pets Guide (2026)

Project Gorgon

Feb 13

In Project Gorgon, pets are combat companions that follow you and fight at your side. These are not cosmetic followers or mounts. Real pets come from specific skills like Animal Handling, Necromancy, and Battle Chemistry, and each works a little differently.

If you want a traditional MMO style companion that levels, bonds, and stays with you, Animal Handling is the main system built around that idea.

What Counts As A Pet In Project Gorgon

A true pet in Project Gorgon is a summon that follows you, participates in combat, and can gain experience. Some pets level up and form a Bond with you. Others are more temporary.

The main pet systems are:

Animal Handling
Necromancy
Battle Chemistry

Each skill creates a companion, but only Animal Handling uses stables and long term pet growth.

Animal Handling Pets

Animal Handling is the dedicated pet combat skill. You tame wild animals and summon them to fight for you. These pets persist through fights and grow stronger over time.

You can only have one Animal Handling pet active at a time. Stable slots are shared with mounts, so your stable setup matters.

To tame an animal:

Learn the correct Tame ability
Channel for 20 seconds
Survive the creature during the channel

You can only tame animals at your level or up to 5 levels higher.

How Animal Handling Pets Level Up

Pets gain XP when they fight alongside you. When they earn enough XP, you must visit a trainer and pay a fee to increase their Pet Level.

As pets fight, they also gain Bond Level. Bond Level increases:

Base damage
Max health
Max armor

Bond Level grows naturally through combat.

Happiness And Enthusiasm

Happiness affects how much XP your pet earns. If your pet dies, its Happiness drops. Higher Happiness means faster progression.

Enthusiasm affects:

Critical hit chance
How fast Happiness recovers

If a pet critically hits, its damage increases based on species. Rats, bears, and cats all have different critical bonuses.

You must wear pet boosting equipment before summoning your pet for bonuses to apply.

Necromancy Pets

Necromancy allows you to summon undead minions. These also follow you and fight enemies. They do not use the stable system like Animal Handling.

Necromancy pets are more focused on direct combat pressure. They do not use Bond Level or taming mechanics.

You can summon Necromancy pets alongside Animal Handling pets.

Battle Chemistry Pets

Battle Chemistry creates combat constructs that act like pets. These are more temporary and skill driven.

They assist in combat but do not use long term growth systems like Animal Handling. They function more like tactical summons than bonded companions.

Battle Chemistry pets can also be active alongside Animal Handling pets.

Pet Combat Abilities

Animal Handling pets have two main command types:

Sic Em
Clever Trick

Sic Em triggers the pet’s primary attack. Clever Trick triggers its special ability. Each species has different versions of these.

Some pets taunt. Some deal heavy damage. Some heal the owner. Choosing the right species changes your combat style.

Pet Limits And Stacking Rules

You may only summon one Animal Handling pet at a time. Stable slots control which pet you call.

Animal Handling pets can be active alongside:

Necromancy summons
Battle Chemistry constructs

This allows hybrid pet builds.

Choosing The Right Pet Style

If you want a traditional MMO pet system with leveling, bonding, and taming, Animal Handling is the closest match. It rewards players who enjoy raising and training companions.

If you prefer more direct damage pressure without stable management, Necromancy may feel simpler.

If you want tactical support pets with less long term investment, Battle Chemistry fills that role.

Project Gorgon supports true combat companions, but the system you choose determines how deep the pet progression goes.
