Lore & Trivia
Overview
Companions are tame allies that travel with your raft and provide passive bonuses. Their effects range from small stat buffs to automated gathering and food scavenging. Because companion chests are purchased with Pearls — the same currency used for classes — new players should usually unlock a class before gambling on random companion rolls.
This page lists the four reported companion chest groups, the companions that can drop from each, their reported buffs, and which ones fit common builds. Drop percentages are community-reported and should be treated as approximate until confirmed in-game.

How to Get Companions
Companions are unlocked through companion chests purchased with Pearls. Additional Pearls can be earned by:
- Opening chests while exploring islands
- Completing Daily Quests
- Defeating bosses and raid events
- Redeeming active promo codes
Open companion chests at a safe dock with free inventory space. Duplicate or unwanted companions should be evaluated against your current build before being discarded.
Fisherman’s Chest

| Crab | 25% | 5% more gun damage |
| Dolphin | 13% | 7.5% faster sprint |
| Shark | 13% | 7.5% more melee damage |
Frog, Turtle, and Crab are the common early rolls. They provide small but reliable survival and damage bumps while you save Pearls for a class.

| Snorf | 32% | 5% more health |

| Swordfish | 5% | 10% more melee damage |
Warrior Chest introduces automated gathering via Octopus and the strongest reported melee buff via Swordfish. Melee-focused players should consider this chest after unlocking Survivor or Swordsman.
Pirate Chest

- Best for: Gun builds and food economy
| Companion | Reported Chance | Reported Buff |
|---|---|---|
| Whale | 30% | 7.5% more health |
| Seagull | 30% | Searches surroundings and brings food every 120 seconds |
| Parrot | 30% | 7.5% more gun damage |
| Pirate Gunner | 5% | 10% more gun damage |
| Swordfish | 5% | 10% more melee damage |
Pirate Chest is attractive for gun classes such as Cowboy, Soldier, and Sharpshooter. Seagull provides passive food, which helps offset the hunger pressure of long island trips.
Magma Chest
- Reported cost: 120 Pearls
- Best for: Endgame utility and Volcano routes
| Companion | Reported Chance | Reported Buff |
|---|---|---|
| Dolphin | 30% | 7.5% faster sprint |
| Crow | 30% | Searches surroundings and brings food every 120 seconds |
| Lava Snail | 30% | 7.5% less hungry |
| Salamander | 5% | Picks up and delivers loot from surroundings |
| Magma Golem | 5% | 10% more melee damage |
Magma Chest pairs well with Fire Mage and Volcano progression. Salamander is the only reported automated loot-collection companion, making it valuable for long farming sessions.
Companion Recommendations by Build
| Build Goal | Top Pick | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Solo survival | Frog / Turtle / Lava Snail | Hunger reduction and extra health smooth early runs |
| Melee DPS | Swordfish | 10% melee damage is the strongest reported melee buff |
| Gun DPS | Pirate Gunner / Parrot | Gun damage buffs directly increase ranged output |
| Food economy | Seagull / Crow | Passive food every 120 seconds reduces cooking stress |
| Material farming | Octopus / Salamander | Automated gathering and loot delivery |
| Movement | Dolphin | Sprint speed helps island traversal and kiting |
Zookeeper Synergy
The Zookeeper class is reported to supercharge companions. If you own several strong companions, Zookeeper can elevate their buffs enough to justify the 600-Pearl cost. Without a solid companion pool, Zookeeper is a low-priority unlock.
Companion Chest Opening Tips
- Open chests at a safe dock, not during a night raid.
- Keep free inventory space so you do not lose drops.
- Do not discard companions immediately — some niche buffs become useful after you unlock Zookeeper.
- Spend Pearls on a class before gambling on companion RNG.
