Whiteout Survival Pets

Published: 2026-11-10

Pets open when your Furnace reaches level 18 and your server is old enough, and every pet brings an active skill, a troop Attack and Defense bonus and a level cap between 50 and 100. Below you get a table of 14 pets with their skills and values, the server day each one opens, Pet Food and advancement costs, refine limits and the order players level them in. Checked in November 2026.

Whiteout Survival Pets List

Pets fall into two groups. Development pets, such as Cave Hyena, Arctic Wolf, Musk Ox, Giant Tapir and Giant Elk, give a one-off boost to your city or your marches. Combat pets, such as Titan Roc, Cave Lion and Iron Rhino, raise troop stats for two hours when you use their skill. Every pet also adds a permanent troop Attack and Defense bonus from its level, and its skill grows at each advancement milestone.

Where a skill cell shows two value ranges, guides print different numbers for the same skill, and the skill screen of the pet in your game shows the exact ones. The server day column shows the lowest and the highest day that guides give for a pet to reach your state. The cooldown of a development skill at its top level is 23 hours for Cave Hyena, Arctic Wolf, Giant Tapir and Giant Elk, and Musk Ox drops to 15 hours.

When Pets Unlock

The pet system has two gates: your Furnace has to reach level 18, and your server has to be open for a set number of days. A Furnace at level 18 alone is not enough in a young state. Guides give the opening day as day 25, day 55 or day 60, so the quickest check is the Beast Cage building in your city. The Furnace guide covers the upgrade requirements for every level up to 18.

The first wave of pets reaches a state between day 25 and day 55. Later pets follow in waves, and the last of the 14, Frostscale Chameleon, is listed between day 360 and day 450. A character in an older state can find the whole roster already waiting in the Beast Cage.

The video compares the pets on their own screens, from the Giant Elk and Snow Ape to the Cave Hyena and Arctic Wolf, and explains which one to upgrade first.

Beast Cage: Taming and Feeding

The Beast Cage is where captured Wilderness beasts are tamed and developed. You can keep one pet of each kind. Each pet can be tamed and fed 2 times a day, and the attempts come back only with time. Taming by riding is limited to 2 attempts per beast per day.

Different pet skills can be active at the same time, so a Construction Speed skill and a combat skill do not cancel each other. Guides place the first skill level either at pet level 1 or at pet level 10 after the first advancement, and the pet screen tells you which one applies to your account.

Pet Max Level and Upgrade Chart

A pet gains levels with Pet Food, and at every tenth level it needs advancement with Taming Manuals. From level 30 the advancement also takes Energizing Potions, and from level 50 it takes Strengthening Serums. The table adds the whole route from level 1 to the cap, grouped by pets that share the same costs.

The cost of the same step grows with the pet: reaching level 50 takes 28,875 Pet Food on Cave Hyena, while the same level costs far more on a level 100 pet. The costs below are the advancement milestones for each group, with the Pet Food already spent on the way and the troop bonus you hold after advancing.

Pet Refine and Materials

Refinement is separate from leveling. Each pet has 6 secondary stats, one Lethality and one Health value for each troop type, and refining rerolls them with random values. You see a preview before anything changes, so you can reject a bad roll, and once a stat quality has been upgraded, further refinement cannot lower it.

The refine cap per stat rises with the pet, so a higher pet is worth more Wild Marks.

Pet Tier List

One tier list ranks pets by combat value. Utility pets rank low in it, but that is no reason to ignore the city and gathering benefits they bring, which the combat tiers do not measure.

Frost Gorilla is ranked A in one list and S in another, which shows how close the top two tiers are. The seven level 100 pets share the same costs, so the choice between them is about the effect you need: Cave Lion and Saber-tooth Tiger raise troop damage, Snow Ape adds Squad Capacity, Iron Rhino adds Rally Capacity for the rally leader, and Mammoth and Frost Gorilla raise Defense and Health. For battle plans that use them, see the Bear Hunt guide and the troops guide.

Which Pet to Level First

There are two common plans, and both are used by strong accounts. The first develops daily economy pets, including Arctic Wolf and Giant Tapir, before heavy spending on combat pets. The second raises utility pets only far enough to open the combat pets, then puts Pet Food into combat. Treat the choice as role dependent: a builder who needs Construction Speed gets more from the economy plan, a rally player more from the combat plan.

• Cave Hyena. Raises Construction Speed for 5 minutes, +5% to +15%.
• Arctic Wolf. Restores Chief Stamina instantly, +35 to +60 Stamina.
• Musk Ox. Completes gathering instantly on the next wilderness resource tile you reach, cooldown 35h down to 15h.
• Giant Tapir. Finds Pet Food instantly, +300 to +1,500, or +200 to +500, Pet Food.
• Combat pets. 9 pets raise troop stats for two hours per use, so use their skills just before an important event, not at random.

The beginner guide shows where pets fit in the first days, and the resources guide covers the Meat, Wood, Coal and Iron your city needs while Pet Food goes to the Beast Cage. Experts can also help pets: Justus adds extra daily Pet Adventure attempts, and the experts guide explains how to unlock him.
