Why Collect and Level This Pet?

Owned effects apply without riding the pet, so you can keep a favourite mount while building collection bonuses.

1
Unlock the pet and its owned effects.
2
Level 2 adds gliding, according to the community record.
3
At level 3, equip the pet and use Empathy Candy to transform, according to the community record and several guides.

Owned Effects by Pet Level

Level	Mount Sprint Stamina Cost Reduction Rate	Evasion Bonus	Constitution	Ability
Lv. 1	+0.1%	—	—	Mount
Lv. 2	+0.2%	+1	—	Mount and Glide
Lv. 3	+0.3%	+2	+1	Mount, Glide and Transform

Genus Insight EXP: +500 for unlocking, +250 at level 2, +250 at level 3.

Each row is the running total at that level, not the increase, so do not add the rows together. Unlocking Forest Monster takes 5 souls, level 2 needs 25 more and level 3 another 75, which is 105 souls in total (5 for the first step, 105 to reach level 3 from nothing). Owned effects apply without riding the pet. Global pets stop at level 3; higher levels seen elsewhere come from the Korean and Taiwanese versions. Video guides disagree on the exact level that unlocks gliding.
