Pet games are a genre of video games centered around raising, caring for, or interacting with virtual animals or fantastical creatures. These games often emphasize bonding, responsibility, and creative customization, allowing players to feed, groom, train, or adventure with their pets. They span multiple sub-genres, including simulation, adventure, and role-playing games (RPGs), and often feature whimsical art styles, soothing soundtracks, and open-ended gameplay.

• Monster Rancher – A hybrid RPG-simulation game where players raise monsters for battles, focusing on training, feeding, and personality development.
