Pets are loyal companions that follow you on your adventures and provide powerful bonuses. In HymnRO, the Pet System has been enhanced with auto-feed support, evolution paths, and a wide variety of pets with unique abilities.
Overview
Pets provide:
- Stat bonuses based on intimacy level
- Visual companionship as they follow you around
- Pet evolution to stronger forms with better bonuses
- Auto-feed functionality for convenience
Getting a Pet
Taming
To capture a pet:
- Obtain the appropriate Taming Item for the monster you want to tame
- Find the monster in the wild
- Use the Taming Item on the monster
- If successful, you receive a Pet Egg
ℹ️ Note: Capture chance increases as the monster's HP decreases. Attacking a monster to low HP before using the taming item improves your odds.
Capture Rate Formula
Base Rate + (100 - Monster HP%) × Base Rate / 100
Example: A pet with 20% base capture rate at 50% monster HP:
- 20% + (100 - 50) × 20% / 100 = 20% + 10% = 30% chance
💡 Tip: Reduce the monster's HP as low as possible without killing it for the best capture chance!
Managing Your Pet
Hatching
Use your Pet Egg from your inventory to hatch your pet. Your pet will appear beside you.
Pet Equipment
Many pets have special accessories that can be equipped to enable their skills and bonuses.
❗ Important: Some pet bonuses require the pet's equipment to be equipped. Check the individual pet's requirements.
Feeding
Pets get hungry over time and must be fed to maintain intimacy:
- Each pet has a specific Food Item it prefers
- Auto-Feed is available for all pets — enable it in your pet window
- Feeding interval: Every 120 seconds at default hunger rate (modified to 200% on HymnRO = slower hunger)
Intimacy
Intimacy determines your pet's effectiveness:
| Level | Intimacy Range | Effects |
|---|---|---|
| Awkward | 0 - 99 | Minimal bonuses |
| Shy | 100 - 249 | Slight bonuses |
| Neutral | 250 - 749 | Moderate bonuses |
| Cordial | 750 - 899 | Good bonuses |
| Loyal | 900 - 1000 | Maximum bonuses |
Intimacy Changes
| Action | Effect |
|---|---|
| Feeding (at proper time) | +50 (varies by pet) |
| Overfeeding | -100 |
| Pet goes hungry | -5 per interval |
| Owner dies | -20 |
| Starting intimacy | 250 (Neutral) |
⚠️ Warning: Don't overfeed your pet! Wait until it's hungry before feeding.
Pet Renaming
You can rename your pet at any time through the Pet window.
ℹ️ Note: HymnRO allows unlimited pet renaming.

- Enable Auto-Feed — Never let your pet go hungry
- Keep pet equipment — Many bonuses only activate with equipment
- Check intimacy regularly — Aim for Loyal status for maximum bonuses
- Save before evolving — Evolution requires specific items and can fail if you don't have everything
