If you’ve spent any time wandering the salt-scoured canyons or jungle ruins of Caves of Qud, you know that survival often comes down to having the right ally at your side. But did you know the game hides a full pet system behind simple codes?
That’s right — no mods required. Just a few keystrokes, and you can summon everything from a glow-wight to a legendary goat. Let’s dig into the best pet codes and how to use them.
The Caves of Qud pet system transforms a lonely roguelike into a tactical squad manager. While all pet codes are fun, the best ones—GOATFACE, KINDLE, BOOGALOO, MOTHRA, and WEBCORE—offer genuine strategic depth.
Remember: A pet won’t save you from your own poor decisions (like drinking warm static), but it will shred a goatman before it shreds you.
Your turn: Spawn into Qud. Punch in GOATFACE. Watch your new horned buddy charge into a pack of baboons. Laugh. Loot. Live to mutate another day. caves of qud pet codes best
