Best Animals in Gaming

About this list...

Have you ever noticed how many cool animals there are in games? There are so many, from loyal companions to anthropomorphic heroes and little cats that we can navigate through the game world ourselves. To give you a little overview, we've put together our top 10 coolest animals in video games for you today. Have fun! | © Annapurna Interactive

Dogmeat Fallout 4

10. Dogmeat from Fallout 4

Let's begin with one of the most iconic companions in video games: the dog. Among the most renowned (and beloved) canine companions is the legendary Dogmeat from the Fallout series. | © Bethesda

Best Animals Fable 2 Dog

9. Dog from Fable 2

Another good boy comes from Fable 2. This little guy isn't just your best cure for loneliness and a fierce explorer, he will literally throw himself in front of a bullet for you. What else could you ask for? | © Microsoft

Crash Bandicoot Best Animals

8. Crash from Crash Bandicoot

Yes, bandicoots are real animals and yes, we know that Crash is walking and talking. But we included him anyway! Because he's just a great dude and probably the most successful bandicoot of all time. Congrats! | © Activision

Best Animals Agro Shadow of the Colossus

7. Agro from Shadow of the Colossus

We had a couple of dogs, now let's go to THE animal companion: the horse. Our first pick is Agro from the legendary Shadow of the Colossus. He is literally the only companion you have in this game, not just carrying you through the barren wasteland, but filling it with a glimpse of life. It gets lonely out there, you know... | © Sony

The Legend of Zelda Epona

6. Epona from The Legend of Zelda

Talking about horses in video games, you, of course, have to give a shoutout to Epona. The OG gaming horse is in multiple Zelda games and is just the best. And what a beauty she always is. © Nintendo

Elden Ring Sales Numbers

5. Torrent from Elden Ring

Our favorite horse is the new kid on the block though, Torrent from Elden Ring. Of course, it is a magical fantasy being, but it's quite clearly a horse. And the best one ever, obviously. It can double jump! Nuff said. | © Bandai Namco

The Last Guardian Trico

4. Trico from The Last Guardian

Continuing with controversial entries, we have our old friend Trico here. Even more of a fantasy beast than Torrent, it is very clearly coded as a sort of cat... thing. It counts! And I love my big dumb cat thing so much. Not just one of the best animals ever, but also one of my favorite companions in any game. | © Sony

Untitled Goose Game

3. Goose from Untitled Goose Game

Enough fantasy bullshit. Here's a good ol' goose. And what a goose. If you haven't played the incredible Untitled Goose Game, let me promise you that this honking bad boy is an absolute threat. But also: so cute! Definitely one of the best animals ever, ez. | © Panic

Stray A 1

2. Cat from Stray

The youngest member in this list absolutely deserves its spot. In our opinion, the protagonist cat is one of the best animals we have ever seen in any game. | © Annapurna

Best Animals in Gaming Goat Simulator

1. Goat from Goat Simulator

The GOAT, literally and figuratively. Some might disagree with us here, but who has conquered the gaming world quite like this nasty little fella? Which single being is as strong, as much of a menace, such a weapon of mass destruction, as this bad boy? No one, it's not even close. Our well-deserved number 1! | © Coffee Stain Studios
