Animals, Pets, and Mounts (Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town)

Starting a ranch on the outskirts of Olive Town won't be easy! Animals are wild, and you will have to track them down and befriend them to keep them on your land. There are animals which you can keep as pets, use as mounts, have as livestock, or help in return for their gratitude.

Pets
As per Story of Seasons tradition, you may own a pet to love and care for! To buy a pet, go to the Hoof House Animal Shop and talk to Bridget at her counter. There are 8 available breeds of dogs and cats, and 1 special pet (the Little Wolf) coming to a total of 17 different pets in-game.

Pets do not provide byproducts, but you can take your pet on walks using a Leash and play with them using either a Bouncy Ball or Mouse Ball from Olive General Store. You may also enter your pet in the Pet Derby.

Special
The Little Wolf must be unlocked via Shrine Blessing before becoming available at the Hoof House.

Motorcycle
The motorcycle is the first mount the Player obtains, as it is the mode of transportation that brings the Player to Olive Town. It can be ridden around your farm and in town. It even has a light that turns on at night.

Bike Customization
Players can customize the motorcycle's color at the start of the game.

Stable Animals
Like pets, stable animals can be bought at Bridget's counter at the Hoof House Animal Shop. Most stable animals will become available after taming the Brown Horse, although there are a few that can only become unlocked through the Shrine.

Byproducts
For more information on processed goods, see the Makers page.

Personalities
All animals have personalities upon being obtained, with each personality affecting the animal's friendship/happiness growth rate and daily care activities. Note that chickens cannot be shorn, milked or brushed. When purchasing animals at the Hoof House, you can exit and re-enter the building to get a new batch of personalities.

Wild
For more information on where to find each animal, see the Museum page.

Beekeeping

 * Staff note: We understand that bees are not necessarily animals. However, they can be "raised" to produce a byproduct like livestock.
