Mounts

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

1. Remove the adult animal from its habitat.
2. Place the animal in the pet slot.
3. 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.
4. To dismount while riding, press "F". 

For controller and Switch button mapping, see User Controls.

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 for that mount to spawn somewhere in the world typically on the Outer Islands.

Animal	Requirement	Spawn Chance	Food To Tame	Speed Effect	Jump Height
Unicorn	Rainbow in sky	1%		↑↑	=
Big Chicken	Raise 100 Chicks	5%		↑↑	↓
Big Bunny	Tame 100 Bunnies	5%		↑↑	↑↑↑
Legendary Beetle	Tame 100 Dung Beetles	5%
Big Penguin	Tame 100 Penguins (Can be won in festival games)	5%		↑	↓
Legendary Kitsune	Tame 100 regular Foxes	1%		↑↑	↑
Ghost Cat	Own both Garden Paws and Potion Paws on the same platform	100% Duck Pond Cave		↑↑	↓
