Achievement[]

  • Some pets, such as the Cursed Sapling and Baby Truffle, provide light for the player which is rather useful when caving or in dark areas.

    • Light Pets[]

    Light Pets are summoned secondary characters that float alongside players to provide a traveling light source. They incur no mana nor any other cost, and remain indefinitely until the player cancels the buff, summons a replacement light pet or dies. Only one light pet can be present at once. Light pets have their own dedicated inventory slot in the players equipment section in the PC version, Console version, Mobile version, Old Chinese version, tModLoader version, and tModLoader 1.3-Legacy version along with a slot for dyes.

    Sugar Glider

    If a player shakes a tree, there is a 0.1% chance that it might drop the Eucalyptus Sap item.

    When used, it will summon a Sugar Glider pet.
