Large Animal Pets
Large pets are all wild creatures found throughout Anthos; there aren't any for sale at village animal shops like with the small pets. These creatures are too big to live inside the farmhouse. They reside in the animal barn along with the cows, sheep, chickens, and ridable mounts, where they eat animal fodder from the feed troughs with the other animals.
Abilities will only trigger when a pet is at full friendship.
The food effect abilities granted by the large cats and bears will stack. For example, the more of these animals you have inside your barn, the longer your Coffee and Orange Juice food status effects will last as long as their friendship notes are completely filled. If the very tip of the last music note is empty, you won't receive the benefit of extended food effect time.
The warmth protection granted by the alpaca and llama do NOT stack.
