[Info] Everything about the Companions

The Companions

What are companions?
The first companions came into play in 2011. Companions are animals that you can give to your horses. They bring different bonuses that depend on the animal species. The bonus is activated with the first action you perform with the horse. At the same time, the view of the animal changes from the sleeping to the awake companion.



The companions were an integral part of the game until 2012, when some animals could be bought permanently in the shop. In a farewell event, the companions were officially removed from the game. Horses that already had a companion were allowed to keep the animal. You can find companions in the sales, but there is no filter to search for them specifically. 



A special feature is the hippogriff, it only existed during the farewell event of the companions in 2012.




The Horn of Gold
Until 2012, you received the Horn of Gold with the purchase of the Harmony Pack. With this item it was possible to give companions a special, unique look, comparable to the Golden Apple. The Horn of Gold art was designed by players and submitted to the creative section.



These two cute designs are by Cat Yagami (Monkey) and Julia83 (Zebra).


Where do you get the companions today?
-> by completing the Beginner Objectives right after the tutorial (new)
-> in horse sales (we have listed links below)
-> as a gift from Divine Horses
-> as a gift in some events
-> in the companions' chest (Speedrarily on the Black Market)
-> when awarding the black market item:
 Catrina’s Brooch


The Companions Chest
The Companions Chest is a special feature in the game that can be bought on the black market for a few days at irregular intervals. As with all lucky items, chance decides which companion is in the box at the time of purchase.



Description on the black market:
Give your horse a companion and also benefit from the bonuses it brings! The companion will be randomly selected from the list below. Each time a companion is won, they're taken out of the box, giving you a better chance of winning the remaining ones. Once the crate is empty, it will be filled again with all companions on the list.

The Monster Egg, from which a random Monster companion hatches, is a little special feature here in the game.

This egg contains one of 28 small monsters that players could create during the 2020 “Monster Workshop” event. In a joint community vote at the end of the event, the monsters that received the most votes were introduced into the game.

Each of these little monsters gives your horses a bonus in the ability: Gallop +13.



In the sleeping version, all monsters will show a broken egg.

The divine Yokaï gives monster eggs as a gift if you own him.
