Welcome to my LOTRO Pets library! From kites to beavers, donkeys to blood crabbain, finding the perfect friend to join you on your adventures is just a festival away. You classify a kite as a “friend” too, if that’s your thing.
This tool is currently limited to those available through LOTRO festivals and events. But I may be tempted to extend that in the future.
Festival/Event LOTRO Pets
The current or most recent event will be marked with . For those on larger screens, that tab will also be active when you load the page.
Spring Festival Pets
I’ve finally caught up, and here’s the whole library of Spring Festival Pets (and Kites).

Festivity Tokens Pets
As I grow this LOTRO pets tool, this tab will also improve. As Festivity Tokens are earned across various LOTRO Events, I thought it warranted a separate tab on my LOTRO pets tool.
I am aware of at least one Token pet from Farmers Faire not recorded here. I will fix that within a day or two of the Farmers Faire 2022 kicking off.
Remember to Search
Any pet I have in my database can also be found in the site search above. If it has a dedicating listing, then that will be obvious. If not, it should return the relevant guide to help you.
Mithril Coins Pets
Occasionally, LOTRO put out a new cosmetic pet during an event that can only be acquired via Mithril Coins.
Cosmetic pets that you can obtain through earnable tokens as well as MC aren’t included below.
Here are the ones I have so far.
LOTRO Pets in Event Guides
Here are all my current LOTRO Festival and Event Guides. I have linked the image directly to the pets section of that guide. These are in alphabetical order to make it easier to find the relevant festival.
For completeness, all events are listed below to avoid confusion. I’ll only remove this section once almost all the events LOTRO pets are added. Enjoy!
Change Your Pet’s Name
Regardless of which type of pets you have in LOTRO, you can give them a custom name! See: How to Rename Pets in LOTRO for instructions on each pet type.
