Eggs and hatching
Use the hatchery’s egg and adoption options to welcome named companions with their own coats, personalities and specialties.
⭐ Hatching begins with the first-companion flow. Later adoption options have their own in-game requirements and use the current released hatch pool.
Overview
Hatching creates an animal with a species, coat look, body build, personality and individual specialties. The available egg or adoption option determines which choices are offered before it opens. Ordinary eggs and special selection options do not all use the same selection rules.
For ordinary eggs, you can choose a pool of eligible species and leave at least one species selected. A species-specific or leader selection follows its own stated choice instead of that ordinary pool. Check which option you are opening rather than assuming a species filter controls every egg.
What you can do
- 1
Open the egg or adoption option currently offered.
- 2
Choose the eligible ordinary-egg species pool.
- 3
Inspect the new animal’s appearance and individual qualities.
- 4
Assign the adopted companion a home-island role.
The experience
New residents need available animal space. The companion you welcome can then receive a job, join your collection and become your avatar. The animal’s details remain inspectable after hatching, including qualities that are separate from the coat you saw in the hatchery.
Tips
- Read the choices shown for the adoption option you are using.
- Check your available animal space before welcoming another companion.
Connected systems
Island growth provides more room for residents. Animal care builds the relationship after adoption, and production gives the new companion a working role. The collection book records its released look without counting duplicate copies as different appearances.

- Coats and looksCompare breed appearances, coat colors and markings while keeping an animal’s look separate from its talents.
- Animal care, talents and growthBuild an animal’s bond through helping, petting, play and feeding, while work experience develops its individual level.
