Pets
In the game, in addition the usual Kanmusu, Abyssal, and Fairies, some ships may also have some "pets".
- Those pets range from simple animals, to pieces of equipment, such as the famous Rensouhou.
- Both Kanmusus and Abyssals may have such pets, and are cosmetic only, serving as some sort of mascots.
- For ships drawn by Jiji, many have a feature (such as fire directors), representing his shown "face/profile picture", a small box with two eyes, and may also be considered pets too.
- Some carriers also handle their planes as pets, notably the Taiyou-class handling them as if they were falcons.
Kanmusu
Robots
Rensouhou, Choujuusenchihou, and some other gears are "Danbo-like robots", are directly based on ship equipment, and replace the gears the girls would usually carry otherwise.
- They are very expressive, notably on Kancolle Arcade.
Rensouhou
Rensouhou (連装砲) are literally 12.7 cm twin gun mounts (5"):
- Shimakaze calls hers "Rensouhou-chan" (連装砲ちゃん, more familiar),
- Amatsukaze calls hers "Rensouhou-kun" (連装砲くん, more formal),
- Helena's does not seams to have a nickname for it.
- Ushio also has an expressive 12.7 cm gun, but not a rensouhou propper.

On NPC
Abyssal
Abyssals also have such mascots.
- All abyssals have many additional organic monster-like appendages, but only a few also have distinct pets/mascots/creatures also following them.
- As most of them are bosses, those creatures can represent smaller crafts, or even other abyssals entirely.
- Planes are also all "alive", being some sort of Imps.
