Cosmetic Pets
Cosmetic Pets are NPCs which can be summoned to accompany characters throughout Middle-earth. They are similar to non-combat pets, with the exception that characters of any class can earn them. Opening the respective Tome grants a toggle skill which allows the cosmetic pet to be summoned. These pets can be active alongside Captain and Lore-master pets and remain visible during combat. The pet can be renamed with the console command /cpet rename NAMEHERE. Cosmetic pets exist in your game client rather than on the server, and other players can hide pets under the Options menu.[1][2][3][4][5]
