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 own "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.

Animals
Unlike the robots, animals are not exclusive to ships, and may also or uniquely be represented as equipment fairies's pets. Some of these also represent real life animals that were mascots of the ships during their service.

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.
