Pet Display

A perch for shoulder pets and companions

The Pet Display is a Lost Colony structure, recorded for ARK: Survival Evolved, for keeping shoulder pets, companions and some small tames on show. Its description: "These displays are perfect for showing off your Shouler-pets, Tiny Tames, and Companions all while providing some health and experience over time. Comes in Nest and Bed Varieties"

Five variants in one item

After crafting, equipping the Pet Display lets you choose among 5 variants: Pet Beds, Pet Nests, Companion Bed, Pet Wall-Bed and Pet Wall-Nest. The Armadoggo and the Veilwyn can only sit on the Companion Bed.

Which creatures fit

Shoulder pets are small creatures a survivor can carry on the shoulder; the wiki's list includes the Otter, Cat, Bulbdog, Featherlight, Sinomacrops and Jerboa. Tames small enough to carry in your hands also fit, for example the Dodo, the Kairuku and the Dung Beetle. According to the wiki's notes, pets on a display seem to heal slowly and gain a little experience passively, and you can pet them to play a short animation; cats get the same animation whatever their personality.

Crafting the display

The engram unlocks at level 60 for 20 engram points, and the display is crafted in your own inventory. A craft takes 5 seconds and gives 1 XP, using:

• 40 Thatch
• 25 Fiber
• 15 Wood (or Fungal Wood)
• 5 Hide

Learning the engram, crafting the display and using it all require the Lost Colony DLC. Each display weighs 4, and a stack of 100 weighs 400.
