Hi everyone!

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/openai1/original/4X/f/8/9/f8960328171ececf6a0cbcee6f955360cafd034b.png)

I’ve been exploring custom pets in Codex, and I thought it would be fun to create a place where we can share our creations.

**A note on the creation process**

Creating Sentinel was fun, but it also took several iterations: refining the shape, improving symmetry, keeping the design visible in dark mode, and validating the final sprite sheet.

In the current Pets screen, I can create, select, refresh, or tuck away a pet, but there is no visible way to export or import one. A shareable pet package would make this feature much more collaborative: people could publish a pet, credit its creator, preview it, and import it with one click.

It would be great to have:

- Export a pet as a shareable package
- Import a pet created by someone else
- Include a preview, metadata, and creator attribution
- Share creations with the community without manually moving files

Meet **Sentinel** , the pet I created: an original sci-fi guardian with two arms, two legs, a fully symmetrical design, and bright armor that stays visible in dark mode.

If you’ve created a custom or personalized pet, share it here! It would be great to include:

- an image or GIF of your pet
- its name and the idea behind it
- a little about your creation process
- any tips, challenges, or lessons learned

Let’s build a gallery of community-made Codex pets. I’d love to see what everyone creates! 🐾
