All familiars listed as Readily or Conditionally Available can be obtained by anyone, even those in hardcore ascensions.

Readily Available

These familiars are currently available to everyone, even those in hardcore ascensions, and without the need of any rare items.

Unlimited Availability

You can get as many hatchlings of these from the basic zones as you want without ascending.

Unlimited Availability (with caveats)

While you can get as many hatchlings of these from the basic zones as you want without ascending, they involve time and/or financial commitments that make doing so a major effort.

Familiar Acquired from El Vibrato

Familiars Acquired from the Sea

Limited-Number Familiars

Every player can get these familiars, but the number of hatchlings is limited.

Missable Familiar

  • Grue - Cannot be traded. If missed, the player must re-ascend to get another opportunity to gain this familiar.

Conditionally Available

These familiars are currently available to everyone, even those in hardcore ascensions, but require at least one specific condition to be fulfilled. Sign-dependent familiars require a character to be ascended at least once, because they are dependent on a specific area which only opens to one born under a specific moon sign. The Ninja Snowflake is acquired via Pickpocketing, a skill only available to Disco Bandits, Accordion Thieves and those in bird form (via Look For Shiny Objects). The Hobo Monkey and Slimeling are available only to those in certain clans, as access to Hobopolis or the Slime Tube respectively are needed to attain one. The Mariachi Chihuahua, Autonomous Disco Ball, Animated Macaroni Duck, Pet Cheezling, Adorable Seal Larva and Untamed Turtle are available as a part of the Nemesis quest. The Reconstituted Crow and Hovering Skull can only be obtained in a special challenge path.

The hatchlings of the Clockwork Grapefruit, MagiMechTech MicroMechaMech, Ninja Snowflake, Scary Death Orb, and Whirling Maple Leaf are tradeable items and may be bought in the mall if not in hardcore.

Moon Sign-Dependent

Inside Degrassi Knoll

Little Canadia

The Gnomish Gnomads' Camp

Skill-Dependent

Clan-Dependent

Clans with Basements

Acquired in the course of the Nemesis quest.

Path-Dependent

  • Hovering Skull - Can only be gained if player does not already have one in inventory or terrarium.

Limited Availability

Available from The Raffle House

Only two of these hatchlings are created per day as long as the raffles continue, making the familiars rare and expensive.

Available on Past Crimbos

Limited-Time Content

These familiars require one or more items which no longer drop/sell and are only available for purchase in the Mall, but for ever-increasing amounts of Meat due to the fact that as the hatchlings are bought and hatched in-game, fewer and fewer of them remain, increasing in scarcity.

Gift Items Gained through Mr. Store Items

The hatchlings for these familiars are gift items. They cannot be sold in the mall, but they can be traded or gift-boxed to another player (or auctioned via kbay), so their availability is limited, even though the number of them in game will always increase.

Other

Mr. Store Familiars

These familiars are/were only available for purchase in the Mr. Store for a limited period of time. They are still available in the Mall, but for ever-increasing amounts of Meat due to the fact that these familiars effectively cost money (not Meat) to procure, as well as the fact that, like the "Limited Availability" familiars above, these hatchlings are only available for a limited amount of time, and cannot be unhatched after being used. Only active Mr. Store familiars may be purchased with Mr. Accessories for use in hardcore.

The Leprechaun-Volleyball and Leprechaun-Gravy Fairy hybrid familiars have been always available in the Mr. Store for 2 Mr. Accessories. For the first seven years they were replaced with new, yet identically functioning, versions yearly. As of 2012, the replacements are also Leprechaun-Volleyball and Leprechaun-Gravy Fairy hybrids, but have added functionality. The Leprechaun-Volleyball drops a spleen item, and the Leprechaun-Gravy Fairy drops a content gateway item.
