TEST release · Server and clients · French / English
🐻 Your companions, at a glance
Give your animals a name, identify their sex and follow their pregnancy or growth. Keep your tamed companions nearby with Follow / Stay orders and locate adult Bjorn and Lox on the map.
Mounted movement uses your configured Valheim actions. Bjorn and Lox retain their native attacks, with a forward rush available through a double press of Jump.
🛠️ Saddles and rider settings
- 19 Bjorn styles, including Classic, Bastion, Épure, Tressée, Nacelle, Ossature, Nomade and Caravane.
- 5 Lox styles.
- Adjust saddle position, rotation and scale independently from the rider.
- Save personal presets, select favourites and import or export presets.
- Server presets provide shared defaults, with editing reserved for administrators.
Press F9 and open the Saddle submenu to choose a model. The Saddle / Rider tabs contain the placement controls.
Panniers and travel equipment are decorative; they do not add inventory space.
🧬 Four bear variants, three generations
| Bjorn variant | Coat | Eyes |
|---|---|---|
| Grizzly | Warm brown with silver-tipped fur | Dark brown |
| Brown bear | Rich, warm brown | Hazel green |
| Black | Charcoal / anthracite | Deep blood red |
| Gray | Dark slate and dusty gray, in three tones | Blue |
A bear's coat and eyes are assigned from birth and retained through adulthood.
Bjorn inheritance uses three generations of ancestors: parents, grandparents and great-grandparents. The default contributions are 50% / 30% / 20%. View the connected family tree in F9, inspect known ancestors and preview the chances of a future offspring with a selected partner.
Other species show unknown ancestry rather than an invented family tree.
⚖️ Male and female traits
Adult males are 30% larger for Bjorn, hares, Lox, wolves and boars with a recorded sex. The extra size develops progressively during growth.
For Bjorn and Lox only:
- Males receive 10% extra maximum health.
- Females receive 10% extra mount stamina.
These traits remain separate from the size difference.
🎮 Main controls
| Action | Control |
|---|---|
| Mount | Look at the saddle and press Use |
| Dismount | Press Use while mounted |
| Remove an unoccupied saddle | Left Alt + Use, while on foot |
| Open mount settings / Bjorn genealogy | F9 |
| Forward mounted rush | Double-press Jump |
Use, Jump and combat actions follow your Valheim bindings. F9 and the saddle-removal modifier can be configured.
