Jerboa

Weather Detector

The Jerboa can also warn you about incoming weather conditions such as Sand Storms through a mixture of motions and growls. Keep them close and seek shelter quickly once they start to alert you. A Jerboa perched on your shoulder will still make distinct growls and various motions when harsh weather is incoming.

Lightning Storm

The Jerboa will make a low toned growl-like sound while lowering its ears and wagging its tail.

Sand Storm

The Jerboa will emit a high pitched chirping-like sound while it seems to bark at the sky.

Heat Wave

The Jerboa will make a medium-toned growl while digging and pawing at the ground.

Rain

The Jerboa will make a sniffing and whimpering sound and stare at the sky.

Backpack

Jerboa only incur half the weight onto the player with what is in their inventory. So a full stack of sand weights 25 instead of 50, increasing the amount a footed survivor can bring on each run. Just level them with weight.

Pet

For its simple cuteness and being more common than many other shoulder pets like the and , people usually prefer it as a pet. In fact, it is probably one of the most popular pets in the entire game.
