Wild Hearts - Pet Icon
Players are limited to petting smaller Kemono. Giant Kemonos are only to be hunted as there's no way to pet them.

Passive Kemono that will not attack players in the wild are easier to pet. Aggressive Kemono will attack the player should petting fail.

Wild Hearts - Item Drop
By petting Kemono, players will receive rewards that are different from when players slay Kemono. When slaying Kemono, players are more likely to receive meat and skin as item drops.
