Ride a Pet Index: All Pets Listed?
The Ride a Pet Index is a community-maintained list of every animal that can be ridden in the game Ride a Pet. It includes all currently available rideable pets, from common starters to rare event exclusives. This article explains what the index contains, how it is updated, and how to use it to find any pet.
What the Index Covers
The index is not an official in-game feature; it is a fan-made database that tracks every pet that has a rideable form. It includes pets obtainable through normal gameplay, special events, limited-time offers, and even retired pets that are no longer available. The index typically lists each pet’s name, rarity, how to obtain it, and whether it can fly or just run on the ground.
For example, the index will show a common pet like the Dog, a rare pet like the Unicorn, and a legendary pet like the Dragon. It also includes pets that were only available during seasonal events, such as the Halloween Bat or the Christmas Reindeer. The goal is to have a complete record so players can check if a pet they own or want is rideable.
How the Index is Organized
Most versions of the index are sorted by rarity, from Common to Legendary, and then alphabetically within each tier. Some indexes also allow sorting by type (land, flying, water) or by acquisition method (hatch, purchase, event). This makes it easy to find a specific pet if you know its rarity or how you got it.
Each entry usually includes a small image of the pet, its in-game description, and any special abilities it might have. For flying pets, the index notes that they can be ridden in the air, which is a key gameplay difference. The index is typically hosted on a wiki or a spreadsheet, and it is updated by volunteers whenever the game adds new pets.
How the Index is Updated
Because the game receives regular updates that introduce new pets, the index is updated shortly after each game patch. Community members who play the game on the day of an update will often add the new pets to the index within hours. They confirm the pet’s name, rarity, and rideability by actually obtaining it in the game.
If a pet is removed from the game (for example, an event pet that disappears after the event ends), the index usually marks it as “Retired” or “Limited” but keeps it listed. This is important for collectors who want to know if a pet they missed is still possible to get through trading. The index does not remove retired pets; it just notes their status.
Common Misconceptions
A frequent question is whether every pet in the game is rideable. The answer is no. Some pets are purely cosmetic companions and cannot be ridden. The index only lists rideable pets, so if a pet is not in the index, it likely cannot be ridden. However, there are exceptions: a few pets have a rideable form that is only available through a special item or a separate variant.
Another misconception is that the index includes all pets from all versions of the game. If you are playing a different version (like a mobile spin-off), the index for the main game may not apply. Always check that the index you are looking at matches the version you play.
How to Use the Index to Find a Pet
If you are looking for a specific pet, the fastest way is to use the search function on the wiki or the find feature in a spreadsheet. Here are the steps you would typically follow:
- Open the index page (usually on a wiki or a shared spreadsheet).
- Use your browser’s search (Ctrl+F or Cmd+F) to type the pet’s name.
- If you don’t know the name, browse by rarity or type.
- Check the entry for the pet’s rideability status (Rideable, Flyable, or Not Rideable).
- Note the acquisition method—whether you can hatch it, buy it, or get it from an event.
For example, if you want to know if a Phoenix is rideable, you search “Phoenix” and the index will show it as a Legendary, Flyable pet obtainable from a specific egg. This saves you from guessing or asking in chat.
Limitations of the Index
The index is not official, so it can occasionally be incomplete or contain errors. New pets may be missing for a few days after an update. Also, the index may not show the exact stats (like speed or jump height) of each pet; it focuses on rideability and acquisition. For detailed stats, you would need to check a separate stats guide.
Another limitation is that the index does not track trading values. Just because a pet is in the index does not mean it is easy to get. Some pets are extremely rare and are only obtainable through trading with other players. The index will tell you the pet exists, but not how much it is worth in a trade.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are all pets in the Ride a Pet Index rideable?
No, the index only includes pets that can be ridden. If a pet is not listed, it is likely not rideable. However, some pets have a rideable variant that is listed separately, so check the pet’s page for details.
How often is the index updated?
The index is updated within a few hours to a few days after a game update. It depends on how quickly community members add the new pets. For major updates, the index is usually complete within 24 hours.
Can I request a pet to be added to the index?
Yes, most wikis have a discussion page or a comment section where you can request an addition. If you have a pet that is not listed, you can provide a screenshot and its name, and a volunteer will add it.
Does the index include pets that are no longer available?
Yes, retired and limited-time pets are still listed, but they are marked as “Retired” or “Limited.” This helps collectors know that a pet exists even if it cannot be obtained through normal gameplay anymore.
Is the index the same for all platforms?
No, the index is for the main game on a specific platform (usually PC or mobile). If you play a different version, the pets and their rideability may differ. Always check the version label on the index.
What should I do if I find an error in the index?
You can report the error to the wiki’s editors or leave a comment on the page. Include the correct information and a source if possible. The community will verify and fix it.
Conclusion
The Ride a Pet Index is a valuable resource for any player who wants to know which pets can be ridden. It is not perfect, but it is the most comprehensive list available. By understanding how it is organized and updated, you can use it to plan your collection, check if a pet is worth trying to get, and avoid confusion about rideability. Always cross-check with the in-game pet menu if you are unsure about a specific pet’s status.
