Animals are the avatars that represent Jammers in Play Wild. There are a variety of animals that Jammers can purchase and switch between.
Creation
New animal avatars can be purchased through the Switch Animals menu by clicking on the "Add Animal" button, or through the Sapphire Shop. When creating an animal, Jammers must choose a name that consists of three parts. This name can be changed again at a later date for 5 Sapphires. Most Animals cost 180 (formerly 150) Sapphires except six: Tiger, Bunny, Wolf, Fox, Panda, and Monkey, which cost 3,000 Gems for the first animal and increase by 3,000 Gems thereafter.
Availability
Animals aren’t always available. Many return and leave seasonally, while others leave for long periods of time. Some animals, like the six starter animals, always remain available, as they are default options. When animals become unavailable for purchase, they are described as "Going Traveling", meaning they are on a special quest of some sort and will return to Jamaa with news.
Recycling
Jammers can also recycle existing animals in storage by clicking the recycle symbol in the Switch Animals menu and then clicking on the animal to recycle. Recycled Gem animals will return 900 Gems and recycled Sapphire Animals with return 7,500 Gems. Recycled Animals that are no longer available cannot be recreated.
Name
When creating a new name, players can name their animal with a first name, middle name, and last name. The only exception is any Animal bought through bundles. Animal names can be changed any time after purchase for 5 Sapphires.

Customization
Every animal can be customized through the Change Your Look menu. Animals have a primary color and a secondary color as well as a variety of eye shapes and Patterns to choose from. The primary and second color palette has 64 colors to choose from, the pattern palette has 39 colors and the eye palette has 26 colors. Some colors are only exclusive to some Animals. Members can use the "Color Coordinator" tool, which shows you the colors of the items your animal is wearing. Jammers who are in a pack have access to the Color Cloud which includes exclusive colors not obtainable on any of the color menus.
Clothing
Beyond changing the animal itself, Jammers can also customize their animals by adding clothing accessories. Animals can wear six pieces of clothing for their head, face, neck, body, legs, and tail items.
Secret Colors
In addition to the color palette, there are also 4 secret colors your animal can have. You can use the color anywhere(main color, eyes, patterns, etc).) Icy Blue: Tap the top color of the inner circle of the color palette 3 times. Magenta: Tap every color in the inner circle clockwise starting and ending with the top color. Phantom Purple: Tap the dark purple color of the outer circle twice, then white twice. Forest Green: Tap every color in the inner circle clockwise starting and ending with the top color.
Animal Types
There are two main types of animals: land and flying. Land animals were the first type to be introduced and were initially the only type available in the game; they can only be used in areas that are predominantly land. Flying animals were first introduced on January 2, 2019; like land animals, they can only be used in the land areas, but flying animals appear above all the other land animals. On May 1, 2019, Flying animals can either stay at ground level or fly up higher via a button in the action menu but this button is blacked out for land animals.
