How to get pets in Grounded

The world of Grounded is filled with bugs, insects, spiders and various other creatures. Creatures like the Spider, Wasp and Mosquito are angry creatures meaning they will be hostile towards the player. Interestingly, the game has an Arachnophobia Mode to make the spiders less scary for players who might be arachnophobic.

While some creatures are hostile, you can befriend and make certain creatures your pets, specifically Aphids, Gnats and Weevils. So, here is everything you need to know on how to tame pets in Grounded.

How to tame pets in Grounded?

Obsidian Entertainment

To tame pets in Grounded, first and foremost, you will need a Grinder to be able to make the Slurry, which will then attract your pet. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to go about it:

• Head to the Haze Lab in the Haze Biome to get the construction recipe for the Grinder. Get the BURG.L chip from the Haze Lab. This should allow you to purchase the Advanced Production Buildings upgrade costing 4,000 Raw Science.
• Once you have purchased the upgrade, you will then be able to craft a Grinder which will require the following ingredients: 2 Crow Feather Pieces, 2 Acorn Shells, 3 Flower Petals, and 5 Bombardier Parts.
• You can then use the Grinder to make slurries to attract your pet. Here’s a breakdown of the slurries you need to make:

Pet	Slurry required	Slurry recipe	Pet bonus
Aphid	Plant Slurry	1 Plant Fiber Plant Fiber + Grinder	+Aphid Friend Reduced stamina drain rate while sprinting.
Gnat	Spoiled Meat Slurry	1 Spoiled Meat Spoiled Meat + Grinder	+Gnat Friend Increased glide speed with Dandelions.
Weevil	Mushroom Slurry	1 Mushroom Mushroom + Grinder	+Weevil Friend Reduced thirst drain rate.

Once you have crafted the Slurry, head to the creature’s location and drop the Slurry. Once the creature consumes the Slurry, you will get a notification that the creature has been tamed.
