What do pets do in Black Flag Resynced?

Pets in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced are a new addition, with animal companions that player can find and add to the Jackdaw that weren't in the original game. Though ornamental in nature, many want to know where to find these cute little critters, especially if you haven't unlocked the free ones that come with the more expensive deluxe edition of the Black Flag remake. Below I'll show you where to find every pet in the game, as well as what they do for you in-game.

Pets don't serve any actual gameplay function in the Black Flag remake, they're just cosmetic. You can equip them in the "Inventory" screen, at which point they appear on the deck of the Jackdaw and in your cabin. Their behaviour might change depending on what's going on around them (such as becoming more excited during combat encounters or storms), but they don't provide you any advantage or change how things work.
