Aion 2: Pet Showcase
| Pet | Type | Why it stands out | How to get it |
|---|---|---|---|

| Papis | Fera | A fan-favourite creature design | Soul drops, chests, merchants; also a starter-chest pick |

| Ultimate Fire Spirit | Natura | Twisted horns and glowing magma cracks | Chests and merchants only |
The Standouts
Aullaeu Shaman. This Cogni pet has an owl-like appearance, and the axe in its hands looks like a branch with a blade of hardened sap. It isn’t the fastest mount in the game, but its quirky, nature-shaman look makes it worth collecting.

Papis. A Fera pet that regularly shows up on “best-looking” lists. It’s also one of four options in the starter Pet Selection Chest, so you may meet it early.
Ultimate Fire Spirit. This Natura pet pairs twisted horns with heavy magma cracks across a rocky body. It’s the flashiest of the bunch, and you can’t farm its soul by defeating monsters, so you’ll rely on Reward Chests or the rotating Black Cloud Merchants.
How Pets Work
Pets are Aion 2’s mounts. The game has more than 200 of them across Cogni, Fera, Natura, Varian and Special types. You unlock most by collecting five of their souls. After that, 25 more souls get you to level 2, and another 75 maximise its Insight and unlock the Transformation ability. Pets also give passive stat bonuses, so collecting a lot helps your character as well as your style.
The pet system opens during the early story. Your first mount is a pick from a short list during an Episode quest around level 10.
Tips for Collectors
- Check the Black Cloud Merchants often: their stock rotates and can include pets you can’t farm.
- Don’t overthink your starter: the chest options are close in value, so pick the one you like looking at.
- Collect widely: pets contribute bonuses from your collection even when you aren’t riding them.
