AION 2 All Pets: Five Families, Single-Pet Guides and Source Limits

This AION 2 all pets hub is the starting point for every pet guide on this site. The game has more than 200 companions, sorted into five families: Cogni, Fera, Natura, Varian and Special. The official PET page describes them as companions that follow you around, transform into rideable mounts and can provide benefits such as auto-looting. If you are new, read the AION 2 all pets sections in order: families first, then the single-pet guides, then the system rules that tie pets to the rest of the game.

The Five AION 2 All Pets Families

Each family has its own Owned Effect values, its own farming areas and its own place on the Genus Insight boards. The per-family counts below come from the aion2pets.app record. Other sources report different totals, so this site writes more than 200 and does not print one number.

Common pets in each family share one progression in the record: unlock at Level 1, a Level 2 step and a Level 3 step. The family then sets the Owned Effects a Level 3 pet gives. Fera gives mount ground speed, accuracy and Dexterity, and Natura gives stamina, critical hit resist and Precision. One global video calls Cogni the top offensive pick, and video guides describe Varian with constitution and evasion effects.

Single-Pet Guides in the AION 2 All Pets Hub

Each pet below has its own guide. Common-family pets follow the shared progression, while the Black Dragon, a Special pet, does not follow it. Start with the family that matches the farming area you can reach.

• AION 2 Papis Pet: Fera family, with one monster record in Altgard.
• AION 2 Fossa Pet: Fera family, with three monster records, one of them in Verteron.
• AION 2 Black Smoke Murute Pet: Natura family, with a level 63 monster record and no region listed.
• AION 2 Fungie Pet: Natura family, with Red Cap Fungie in Verteron.
• AION 2 Black Dragon Pet: Special family, where the sources disagree on how it is obtained.
• AION 2 Elyos Pets: the farm areas that video guides name for Elyos players.
• AION 2 Asmodian Pets: the Altgard and Spirit Isle routes for Asmodian players.

Pets Without Their Own Page

Some companions appear in the sources but do not have a page here, so they are folded into this AION 2 all pets hub instead of getting thin pages of their own.

• Pagati: a Special companion that one video ties to pre-registration. No route is given here.
• Swarm: an Asmodian Altgard monster. One video mentions a level 11 contaminated swarm in that area.
• Slime: one video names a contaminated slime as an Elyos Verteron target.
• Agrint: one video names it as an Elyos Verteron target.
• Armadon: the material behind this site contains no documented details for it.
• Everything else: the record lists more companions than this site covers, and this hub does not print a pet list.

How the Pet System Fits Together

Pets touch three systems, and they should be kept apart when you plan. Pet Insight is one pet's own level from 1 to 3. Owned Effects are permanent stats from pets you own, and they do not require riding. Genus Insight is the five boards that take pet EXP and crystals. Mixing these up is the most common planning error.

Common pets use the same soul steps in the record and in the videos: 5 souls to unlock, 25 more for Level 2 and 75 more for Level 3, which is 105 in total according to two or more videos. Several global videos say pet progress is shared by characters on the same server. In Korea, NC announced server-wide sharing in January 2026, and this site treats that as Korean information rather than a global fact.

A practical order for a new player, based on the videos, looks like this:

1. Pick your faction's farm map first: Verteron for Elyos players, Altgard for Asmodian players.
2. Unlock the common pets you can reach, because owned pets help even when they are not equipped.
3. Level pets only after you have counted the soul cost, and confirm each step in your own client.
4. Do not lock Genus Insight stats before level 9, and ideally wait for level 10, since many videos advise it.

Sources, Versions and Open Questions

Not every source is equally strong. The official AION 2 PET section confirms the basic pet description. The aion2pets.app record is a third-party source used with the site author's permission, and it supplies the family counts and Level 3 effects. Video guides supply farming routes and soul costs, but they vary by version, so check the version before you trust a number.

Several guides recorded before launch report a level 5 cap, while several global guides say the global client caps pets at level 3. Treat any figure taken from Korean or Taiwanese footage as information about those versions, not about your client. For a deeper look at the families, read the single-pet guides above, and for a full video walkthrough of the system, see a global guide that covers the whole pet system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many pets are in AION 2 all pets?

More than 200. The aion2pets.app record gives a count for each family, but other sources report different totals, so this hub does not print a single number.

Q: Which family should I start with in AION 2 all pets?

Some video guides advise farming Cogni first for offense and Natura for Precision, then the rest, because owned pets help even when they are not equipped. Your class, your farm map and your Genus Insight plan should decide the order.

Q: Do I need to ride a pet to get its bonus in AION 2 all pets?

No. Owned Effects are permanent, stack with other owned effects and do not require riding the pet, according to two or more videos.

Q: Are Special pets part of the collection?

Yes. Special is one of the five families, and the record lists six Special companions. Two or more videos say Special pets give no stats, so judge them by their role rather than by Owned Effects. The Black Dragon page covers the sources in detail.
