Some animals can be ridden by the player. Depending on the animal, movement speed and jump height is either reduced or increased.
Baby animals must be raised to maturity and wild animals must be tamed before they can be mounted (see "Raising Animals"). Adult animals won as prizes or found in Loot Crates can be mounted right away.
How To Use a Mount[]
- Remove the adult animal from its habitat.
- Place the animal in the pet slot.
- Two options will appear when your pet is near you:
- "Ride": Press "E" to mount and ride the animal
- "Stay": Press "F" to tell it to stop following you. Your pet will stay exactly where you left it until you press "F" again ("Let's Go" option) or take it out of the pet slot.
- To dismount while riding, press "F".
For controller and Switch button mapping, see User Controls.
Standard Mounts[]
The table below outlines existing mounts, as well as their requirements and feed requirements.
With the exception of the piglet, baby forms of animals cannot be mounted.

Warning! The following section(s) may contain spoilers. If you have not progressed very far into the game yet, proceed with caution.
Legendary Mounts[]
Legendary animals can be obtained more than once, however the chance for them to spawn must be unlocked by completing certain achievements.
Taming them is instantaneous, but they still need to be led to a habitat to complete the taming process. They require the same habitats as their non-legendary counterparts (Bunny Habitat, Chicken Coop, Dung Beetle Habitat, or Stable).
Spawning Requirements[]
Once requirements for a legendary mount are met, there will be a small chance every morning[1] for that mount to spawn somewhere in the world typically on the Outer Islands.

Notes[]
- ↑ Much like the weather, the chance for a legendary spawn is 're-rolled' at each game load. A legendary found on a particular day will probably not be there if the day is reloaded for any reason. Reloading a day repeatedly until a mount spawns is an option, but that could take a very long time for a 1-5% chance, and is more likely to be a waste of playing time.
- ↑ The Unicorn only spawns when there is a rainbow in the sky, but the rainbow has a 1% chance to spawn each morning.
- ↑ Unlike other legendaries which despawn the following day, Ghost Cat remains in its cave and must be fed Stardust for 10 consecutive days.
