With your Stone Age pet through thick and thin
Unlike some passive petting zoo pets, the pets of StoneAge 2 are real friends and comrades with individual taste and characteristics. With proper care they can even learn new strategies and tactics for the round based fights in the game. But only a satisfied and loyal pet will follow each and every order. Therefore, players will reward them with their favorite food, their favorite toy and their favorite music. Advanced players can have tournaments where teams of their pets can fight each other in battle. To achieve a glorious victory, in-depth knowledge of the pets and their abilities is essential. Only the best players who have the right touch can win valuable prizes in PvP-Tournaments.

Besides their fighting skills, the pets of StoneAge 2 are also able to craft special items – but
only if players provide them with the proper resources. The equipment produced by pets can
then be traded with friends or sold in the personal StoneAge 2 shop of each player. Pets
even can fall in love and lay eggs. After some time, new pets will hatch from these, which
incorporate and combine the individual skills and looks of their parents. Moreover, pets can
also deliver messages and even items to another player in battle. But when neglected, pets
inform their owners via real e-mail how much they miss them. Special items for the pets and
shop exclusive pets are available in the item shop of StoneAge 2 without causing an
imbalance in the game."
