This article is about the Pet Rock item script released in 2026. For the older "pet rock" from the Premium Festival, see Toy geode.

Pet Rocks are a tiered fluff pet toy that debuted as part of the February 2026 Duskruin run.

Not to be confused with toy geodes, the Pet Rocks are built upon the same system that brings you teadragons and a host of other pets. They were created by GM Xynwen.

The first time you bind/summon a pet rock, you will be awarded a unique post-name title: Sentinel of the Skirmishing Stone.

    - Noun must be box, chest, coffer, or strongbox
    - This should be handheld/small, so nothing indicating it is large
