This mod requires the following mods to function
CeruleanCutlass-ForgeKit
Dependency-free dev-tooling for Outward BepInEx mods: file-driven dev command loop, self-test harness, on-screen toasts, player-ready lifecycle wait, embedded/override table loaders, and a shared dev-verb pack (movement/combat/skill/status probes).
Preferred version: 0.4.0
CeruleanCutlass-CompanionKit
Persistent-creature companion mechanics for Outward mods: clone/brain-strip body factory, navmesh follower, invisible combat anchor, manual combat. Donor-scene harvesting and template caching moved to DonorKit; aggro control to AggroKit.
Preferred version: 0.4.1
CeruleanCutlass-AggroKit
Reusable aggro/threat control tooling for Outward BepInEx mods: patch-free targetability overrides, detection observability, per-pair targeting gates. A library dependency, installed automatically when another mod needs it.
Preferred version: 0.1.0
CeruleanCutlass-SkillKit
Ship a learnable custom skill for Outward without rediscovering the traps: SideLoader pack-load wiring, effect-bucket routing, the stuck-cast guard, dynamic quickslot icons, native cast sync. Requires SideLoader. Auto-installed as a dependency.
Preferred version: 0.1.0
CeruleanCutlass-StoryKit
Add an NPC to Outward as plain data: StoryKit builds the character, spawns it at a fixed spot, wires its dialogue, and compiles a trainer skill tree that sells from the vanilla Trainer UI. Requires SideLoader at runtime. A library dependency.
Preferred version: 0.1.0README
Beastwhispering — tame the wild animals of Aurai
Tame wild creatures and keep them as real, persistent companions. A tamed pet follows you, fights beside you, and survives zone changes and save/reload — it's not a summon, it's a character in your game the same way you are.
⚠ Updating from a build made before 2026-07-30? Your save loses every Beastwhispering item (chow, recipe scrolls, blankets, sigils, feathers), every Beastwhispering skill you have learned, and the fletching enchantment on arrows you already fletched — the mod moved onto its community-allocated item-id range and the old numbers no longer resolve. Your pets are not affected: bonds, loyalty, names and stats are stored by name, not by item id. A fresh character avoids the loss entirely. Full detail in CHANGELOG.md.
This is actively-developed software. It is playable and it is being tested, but you will find rough edges. Back up your saves before you install. See the release notes for known issues.
Currently tamable: Hyena, Armored Hyena, Veaber, Pearlbird — each with their own diet, combat style, and species-specific bonuses.
- Taming & bonding — win a wild animal over with the right food, then build loyalty over time through feeding, care, and fighting alongside it.
- Combat — Hunt as One and For the Kill give your pet (and you) real combat presence, not a passive follower.
- Care — feed, manage temperature/comfort, and keep your companion alive through the world's hazards.
- Persistence — your pet remembers you. Loyalty, stats, and bond state survive quitting, reloading, and traveling between regions.
- Co-op — tame and play with a companion in a multiplayer session.
Roadmap
The tameable roster is small right now, and that's deliberate, not a shortcut. Every release keeps adding more of Aurai's creatures — but each one is built as a deep, lore-accurate companion in its own right, not a reskin with a different portrait. We'd rather ship fewer pets that each feel like a real reason to pick that species — a distinct playstyle niche, abilities and stats grounded in how the creature actually behaves in Outward's world — than a long list of interchangeable ones. If your favorite creature isn't tameable yet, it's very likely on the list; it just hasn't gotten its due care yet.
Requires: SkillKit, CompanionKit, ForgeKit, StoryKit, AggroKit (installed automatically as dependencies).
Note on Pearlbirds: Pearlbirds live only in Chersonese. If you tame or keep a Pearlbird companion, the game will briefly load into Chersonese and back on its own to fetch their body — a short, automatic loading screen, not a bug.
