Five categories, each with original characters.

These are our own AI-generated concept works, made with Grok Imagine, and the starting points for future complete v2 motion sets. They are shown for discovery and feedback, never mislabeled as installable or saleable Pet packages.

Deep Work Familiars11 original worksQuiet watchers that settle into a corner and stay there. They breathe in idle, sway a foot while thinking, hold completely still during a long run, lift their head when you are needed, and never break your concentration to be noticed.Review Detectives7 original worksAlert, curious patrollers of the diff. They pace in idle, crane up on tiptoe while thinking, page through the record while working, signal a clear pass when the check succeeds, and hold up a warning when something does not add up.Tool Sprinters6 original worksCouriers of the deploy pipeline with more energy than patience. They bounce in place, rub their hands waiting for a queue, run flat out while tools execute, hoist the artifact overhead on success, and drag the failed package back with a sheepish scratch.Multi-Agent Crew8 original worksPatient navigators for parallel work. They doze against the sidebar until called, unroll a map while planning, gesture the route forward while working, turn to face you when a decision is yours, and write the handoff into a notebook when a branch fails.Chaos Companions4 original worksTroublemakers with good timing. They wander looking for something to poke, peek from a corner while thinking, chase the cursor during a run, roll into the middle of the screen for attention, turn a somersault on success, and play dead on error.

Current Codex pets use an exact v2 motion contract.

A valid v2 atlas is 1536×2288 pixels. Rows 0–8 contain eight frames for idle, running, waving, jumping, failure, waiting, working, and review states. Rows 9–10 add sixteen clockwise look directions, while pet.json declares spriteVersionNumber: 2. A correctly sized file can still look wrong, so format validation is only the first gate.

Package Codex pets transparently

Keep pet.json and one named spritesheet at the package root. The local export adds a readable README and validation report; it contains no installer, shell script, tracking code, or hidden executable.

Preview every motion state

Check scale, movement, baseline, clipping, identity, transparent edges, action meaning, and all sixteen directions—not only the idle frame shown in a gallery card.

Publish with source and rights

Use original or licensed art, identify the creator and public source, state the atlas version and platform evidence, and keep a clear copyright takedown path visible.

Create, publish, or fix Codex pets.

Move from a source or local file to a trustworthy result. Community discovery is moderated and source-linked, and every listing remains a reference—not a claim of ownership, compatibility, or endorsement.

How to evaluate Codex pets before reuse.

Review source, rights, format, motion, platform evidence, and the installation boundary—not only the gallery preview.

Start with provenance, not the download button.

Open the creator’s original source and verify the creator, packager, and license. A public download, gallery listing, or AI-generated label does not grant redistribution or commercial rights. Treat recognizable characters, people, mascots, game assets, and logos as separate rights risks. Prefer original or explicitly licensed work, preserve attribution, and use the copyright contact for review or removal.

Confirm format and compatibility

Match atlas dimensions to the manifest version, verify the filename, and look for current platform evidence. A v2 claim needs a 1536×2288 file, version 2 metadata, and inspectable cells; a legacy 8×9 atlas lacks the two look-direction rows.

Review motion, not one thumbnail

Play all nine action rows and inspect the sixteen look directions individually. Watch for feet sliding across the baseline, frames jumping in scale, clipped ears or effects, opaque edge pixels, inconsistent lighting, mirrored text, and actions that do not match their semantic state. Codex pets are small in the interface, so a detailed illustration can become noisy or unreadable even when the source image looks polished at full size.

Keep installation reviewable

Spritesheets and pet.json are data; installers, CLIs, shell commands, and desktop runtimes can execute code. Review those layers separately, inspect commands, avoid mystery repackaging, and keep a removal path. This site validates local data but does not certify third-party executables or every Codex update.

Codex pets FAQ

Short answers for discovering, creating, validating, and troubleshooting animated companions without hiding the source or installation boundary.

What are Codex pets?

Codex pets are animated companions displayed in the Codex desktop workspace. A pet package normally contains a spritesheet and pet.json metadata. Current v2 atlases use eight columns and eleven rows: nine action rows plus two rows covering sixteen look directions.

Where can I find and download Codex pets?

Use the source-linked directory on this page to compare Codex pet galleries, generators, studios, CLIs, and runtimes. Open the original listing before downloading, check its author and license, and do not assume that a familiar character is cleared for commercial reuse.

Can I create custom Codex pets here?

Yes. Load an original PNG or WebP atlas into the local studio, inspect dimensions and transparency, import or edit pet.json details, preview every action and look direction, and export a data-only ZIP. The selected artwork stays in browser memory and is not uploaded by the builder.

Why are my Codex pets not showing?

Start with the exact atlas dimensions, package root, spritesheet filename, pet.json fields, file permissions, and the current platform path. Windows, macOS, and WSL boundaries can differ. Use the troubleshooting guide before reinstalling or replacing files from an unknown package.
