Animal Orbs, also called pets by many players, are creatures found throughout the game that. provide various bonuses and enhancements. Once found, these helpers will float next to the player and automatically provide a bonus. The Animal Ark houses all of the player's unlocked Animal Orbs. When you start a game as another character, all the Animal Orbs will remain unlocked. If you are simply hunting for Animal Orbs, you don't need to complete each level you find them in. Once you've touched them and unlocked them, you can simply exit to the Overworld instead of finishing off the entire level.
