Adopting animals in Fire Emblem Engage is a great way to get your hands on some rare and useful items without having to fight.
With 23 animals in the game, and each of them providing different resources, some are better than others. Specifically, some of the best animals in Fire Emblem include any variation of the Elyosian dog due to providing silver and any animal that awards rare materials.

In this guide, I will list all animals in Fire Emblem Engage and mention which are the best ones to adopt.
How to Adopt Animals in Fire Emblem Engage
Adopting animals in Fire Emblem Engage is done in between battles. Specifically, while walking around the battlefield after the battle is over, you can find animals roaming around.
From there, the only thing you need to do is approach the animal you want to adopt and interact with it.
Keep in mind that some animals have specific requirements where the player needs to have a good donation level with the region they are currently in.

Best Animals to Adopt in Fire Emblem Engage
In terms of the best animal to adopt, the answer is that it depends on what materials you’re looking for and which animals you can adopt.
If you haven’t progressed with donation levels yet, I recommend starting out with the Elyosian Dog (normal, white, or black) or the Elyosian Sheep. This is because silver ingots and milk are essential materials and having a stockpile will be helpful early in the game.
Especially when trying to upgrade weapons, such as the Levin sword, silver will be a key resource.
Otherwise, aim for any animal that can give rare fish and vegetables. While these require a higher donation level, the rare materials are well worth it.
