All six announced Loftia pet species
The Loftia pet species list for the announced Early Access starting roster contains dogs, cats, alpacas, capybaras, ducks, and tortoises. That gives you six animal types to look forward to when choosing a companion. The developers also promise multiple color variations, so the species count does not mean just six individual appearances.
The roster comes from Loftia's official pet announcement, shared ahead of the November 3, 2026 Early Access launch:
- Dogs
- Cats
- Alpacas
- Capybaras
- Ducks
- Tortoises
These are the six starting types named by the developers. Requests for rabbits, foxes, or other animals in social media comments are wishes from fans, rather than additions to this confirmed list.
The official website also mentions turtles when describing animal companions. For a precise starting roster, the newer pet announcement uses tortoises. There is no reason to count that broader website wording as a separate seventh species.
Color variations and friendship rewards
Choosing a species is only part of personalizing your companion. The announcement says pets have a range of colors, and growing your friendship with them unlocks tricks, outfits, and special emotes over time.
That makes appearance and personality a sensible starting point for choosing your favorite. The announcement does not rank these animals by farming output, exploration speed, or other gameplay advantages, so there is no supported reason here to choose one as the strongest pet.
Keep the distinction between a species and a cosmetic option in mind. A different coat color or outfit gives a companion another look; it does not automatically add another animal type to the roster. The developers have not provided a complete color catalog or a species-by-species outfit list in this announcement.
What can your pets do?
Pets are companions you can rescue and adopt, bring along while exploring, and dress up. The developers also describe building habitats on your island, letting animals wander around your home, and choosing a pet to follow you through the world.
Their care is intended to stay relaxed: you do not need to keep feeding them constantly, and the official announcement reassures players that they will not run away. That leaves room to enjoy their company while farming, decorating, or exploring rather than treating them as another urgent maintenance task.
If you are planning a pet corner for your island, leave room in your decorating ideas for a habitat. Exact habitat recipes, adoption locations, and friendship thresholds are separate details; the species announcement does not establish those steps.
