Survive The Night TD Pets Database

Pets in Survive The Night TD are lobby companions unlocked with Gems. They support your house defense but never replace Medical Base, door levels, or repairs. This database explains the known standouts, the Zoo Owner badge fantasy, and how to pair pets with towers. For spend order, use Pet Hatching and the pets tier list.

Survive The Night TD by Duni&Minion separates match economy from lobby cosmetics and companions on purpose. Coins keep the door alive tonight; Gems shape the helpers that ride along tomorrow. Confusing those currencies is the fastest way to stall both halves of progression.

Currency reminder

Gems ≠ Coins. Match towers eat Coins; hatching eats Gems. Epic attempts cost about 50 Gems. Stockpile with codes such as 5MILGEMS (150), GEMRAIN (100), GEMSDAY (50), and FREEGEMS (30) from the Codes Hub. Redeem through RDM after the tutorial — see How to Redeem.

Never open the shop expecting Gems to buy Tesla or door levels. That money is for towers and Door Defense.

Bird (Epic)

Bird is the known Epic players prioritize. When you can fund a full Epic hatch, aim here first. Bird elevates runs that already have income and heal online. It will not save a door you refuse to repair, and it will not carry a Hard clear that ignores the second entrance.

Treat Bird as the north-star Epic unless a live Updates patch clearly retunes the hatch pool after Evolutions.

Bear pet

Bear fills a sturdy support fantasy — excellent for longer Easy clears, Hard two-door sessions, and clan endless endurance toward waves 100, 250, and 500. Equip Bear when your board already covers Farm/Printer + Medical Base. Bear shines when fights last long enough for support value to accumulate.

Cannon pet

Cannon pet rewards projectile-leaning loadouts. If your tower slots feature Cannon (and often Mortar), this pet feels at home. Still keep AoE and heal elsewhere on the board. Cannon pet is a great second or third hatch after Bird when your towers tier list board already leans direct fire.

Zoo Owner badge and collection goals

Community progression talk often includes the Zoo Owner badge as a collection milestone for players who hatch and keep a broad pet roster. Treat Zoo Owner as a long-term lobby goal, not a reason to dump every Gem before you can clear Easy. Earn Coins and door skill first, then fill the zoo while chasing Bird duplicates and Bear/Cannon supports.

Collection badges feel best when the account also owns Easy Peasy! and can survive Hard without panic. If you are badge hunting, pair Zoo Owner grinding with Clans and Solo sessions so playtime stays productive.

Other hatch results

Commons and uncommons appear while you work toward Epics. Treat them as temporary helpers and zoo fillers. Avoid spending a 150 Gem bank on repeated low rolls when you are 10 Gems from another Epic attempt. Pity dopamine is expensive.

Loadout slots and pets

Pets do not consume the four free tower loadout slots, the optional 5th Slot (99 Robux), or VIP (399 Robux). Equip your best companion in the lobby before queueing. VIP speed helps you manage HUD chrome; it does not hatch Bird for you.

When pets matter most

• After Easy fundamentals click.
• During Hard learning when both doors need every advantage.
• On wave 100+ clan pushes where small helpers accumulate value.
• After Evolutions quests (EVOLUTION) if new modifiers favor companion play — check Evolutions & Crazy Mode.
• While chasing Zoo Owner without abandoning door repairs.

What pets do not do

• They do not spend Coins for you.
• They do not replace door HP management (Door Defense).
• They do not unlock Lorenzo towers.
• They do not require VIP, though VIP speed helps you manage the rest of the HUD.
• They do not excuse selling Medical Base for a meme board.

Scripts mentioning pets

Some automation tools claim auto pet upgrades (Smart Auto Play). Feature lists only — ban risk on the Scripts Hub. Hatch manually so Gem discipline stays yours.

Progression tip

Clear a clean Easy with towers only, then add Bird. You will feel the difference without masking bad placement. Combine pets with lobby tower upgrades purchased from kept Coins so both halves of the account grow together. Redeem Gem codes on the same night you redeem Coin codes, but spend them on different systems.

Survive The Night TD pets are the gem-shaped cherry on a door-first strategy sundae — tasty, useful, never the entire dessert. Bookmark this database beside the pets tier list whenever Duni&Minion expands the hatch pool.
