Sorry if this was mentioned previously
I was looking at my in-game friends and realized the NPCs don't have very fleshed out identities. I'm particular, none of them have pets or friendships with other NPCs.
This would clearly be decorative, and one wouldn't expect the pet levels to fluctuate - but it'd add a tiny layer of authenticity if the NPCs had pets and NPC friendships themselves (and raptors, I suppose).
Maybe farmer Frank would have a pet ROOMBA. Maybe the various quests involving Buddy made him low-level friends with everyone. Maybe Geist only has dragon pets - but they're all level 9..
