The Codex Pet Ecosystem: Official, Community, and Everything Between
Codex pets come from three different places — the official set, community packs and one-off generators. Knowing which is which saves you from chasing duplicates across all of them.
Why this matters more than it looks: The confusion is structural, not personal. Pets arrive through separate channels with separate naming rules, so the same creature can appear twice under two different labels and you will not notice until you have collected both.
How to approach it: Map the channels first: official, community, and generated. Then keep a single local index of what you own. Once the index exists, deduplication becomes a lookup instead of a memory exercise.
The most common mistake here is copying someone else's checklist wholesale. Their constraints are not yours, and the parts that do not apply will quietly push you toward decisions you would not otherwise make. Use any checklist to confirm you have not forgotten something — not to decide what to do.
The full version, with the order of operations and the details that do not fit here, is on the original post: https://codexpetgenerator.com/blog/codex-pet-ecosystem
