Acquisition
The Friendly Insect is found in the Underdust tunnels in a cage.
Uses[]
The Friendly Insect is for the player to anthropomorphize and cherish as a beloved pet.
It can also be equipped with gear and a backpack to aid you on your expeditions. When the Airship is close to 0m/s moving (i.e. standing still in the air or docked) you can order the friendly insect to follow you. It will then walk behind you and teleport to a space close to you if stuck. It will also teleport to you when you are climbing ladders or jumping across ravines or gaps in your airship.
You will need the Soft Cushion to allow the Insect to be present on your Airship, to equip it with items, or to have it follow you.
When placed in the cushion, the pet will tilt its head in the player's general direction when close enough. Unprompted, the pet will also make chirping sounds which can be heard throughout most of your ship.
Pet Equipment[]
Here is the list of all Pet Equipment that can be equipped onto your Friendly Insect via the Soft Cushion interface:
Trivia[]
Despite many claims, the Friend Insect is, in fact, not an Artifact.
