Wild Hearts is a fast-paced action game with a vibrant, stylized aesthetic and a synth-pop soundtrack, where players travel through surreal and dreamlike landscapes, battling foes, and dodging obstacles. There are many different materials and ingredients you might need to progress and craft things in the game, so we have put together this guide on whether to slay or to pet Small Kemonos found in Wild Hearts to help!
Pet or Slay Small
In Wild Hearts, you can slay or pet Small Kemono, and depending on the action you take, they may drop a different item or have a better drop rate of a particular item. This means that it doesn’t always make sense to kill every Small Kemono you encounter, but sometimes it is the only way to farm for a particular item.
You can also use the Cyclopedia to check what obtainable materials have a chance to drop based on the Kemono if you are uncertain. The Cyclopedia also marks where their habitat is.
