Survive The Night Roblox pet hatching allows players to unlock companions that support their overall survival progression while defending fortified houses against enemy waves. Developed by Duni&Minion on Roblox, the game separates its economy between Coins—used for in-match barricades, farms, and towers—and Gems, which are saved specifically to roll for pets in the lobby shop.
Because pets represent long-term account power rather than disposable round defenses, understanding where to spend your Gems and how pet slots function is critical before starting tough matches.
How Pet Hatching Works in Survive The Night
Pet hatching takes place between matches in the main lobby rather than during wave defense rounds. Once you return to the lobby after completing or leaving a run, you can access the pet shop menu to view available hatching options.
Unlike defensive crossbows and resource farms that require Coins earned during a match, hatching pets requires Gems. Recorded player gameplay confirms that players can purchase different pet tiers directly from the lobby interface:
- Hatch Costs: Gameplay records show that an Epic pet hatch costs 50 Gems. Lower tiers such as Rare are also displayed in the shop menu for smaller Gem amounts.
- Acquiring Gems: Gems are awarded upon successfully clearing match waves (such as completing wave 15 survival sessions) and through promotional reward redemptions via the lobby interface.
- Visual Display: During match testing, equipped pets do not physically render following behind your avatar in the game world. Instead, they remain stored and active within your account inventory.
Confirmed Pets and Hatch Results
Official game listings describe pets as "mysterious pets" tied to account collection milestones. Because the developer has not published a complete external drop table, only outcomes observed directly in live gameplay and system achievements can be confirmed:
- Bird: Recorded as an Epic-tier hatch result obtained from the 50-Gem Epic roll option.
- Roster Breadth: While specific individual species names remain largely undocumented outside the Bird, the game includes a dedicated badge named "Zoo Owner!," awarded only after unlocking every pet in the game.
Other individual pet drop rates, passive multipliers, and stat scalings have not been publicly confirmed in official patch documentation.
Managing, Equipping, and Upgrading Pets
Once hatched, pets are added to your personal character inventory. You must manually equip them before they take effect during runs.
Equipping Pets
To equip a pet, open your inventory screen from the lobby, click on your hatched companion, and select the equip prompt. Players begin with a standard inventory layout that shares space between towers and pets.
Expanding Pet Slots
By default, loadouts are restricted to standard equipment limits. Players looking to carry additional setup options can purchase the official 5th Slot gamepass from the Roblox store for 99 Robux. This gamepass permanently unlocks a fifth slot in your inventory, allowing you to equip one additional tower or pet during gameplay.
Upgrading Pets
Pets are not static rolls. Official game data confirms that pets possess upgrade paths. The game's endgame achievement, titled "The Final Boss," requires players to upgrade all towers and all pets to their maximum levels. Specific upgrade materials and step-by-step level costs have not yet been documented in community databases.
Pet-Related Badges
The official Roblox platform data for [🌙] Survive The Night lists two primary account badges directly tied to pet hatching and progression:
| Badge Name | Unlock Requirement |
|---|---|
| Zoo Owner! | Unlock all pets in the game. |
| The Final Boss | Get all towers and all pets in the game upgraded to their maximum levels. |
Tracking these badges offers a direct measurement of your account's collection completion as you hatch higher-tier companions.
