I also did not include cosmetics that are dolls of the classes themselves, such as the Pocket Medic, Itsy Bitsy Spyer, and the Cremator’s Conscience. Similarly, I didn’t include the items from Scream Fortress 2013, since most of them are just ghoulish reskins of existing pets, and the Halloween restriction makes them useless for most of the year. I didn’t include items that hover above your shoulder such as the Robro 3000, Balloonicorn, etc, since they aren’t really a “pocket” pet if they aren’t physically attached to your body. As of the last update of this article (August 2014), there are a total of 16 cosmetics that I would classify as a Pocket Pet. In the last few years, there have been an awful lot of cosmetic items added to TF2 that are generally referred to as “pocket pets.” These cosmetics have proved extremely popular, and therefore more are added each year.
