Animals

Animals are domesticated or wild creatures that encompass a wide range of species. Mammals and other vertebrates are most common in the GTA series which can be found on land and in the ocean. Grand Theft Auto Vice City was the first GTA to introduce animals in the franchise. Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto VI has the most extensive variety of animals in any GTA game.

During the Events of Grand Theft Auto V
Animals return in GTA V and play a much larger role in the storyline.

Dogs appear in the game, and can be interacted with in various ways by the player. There are two named dogs in the game, the first being Chop, a large Rottweiler belonging to Lamar Davis, that appears in several missions. Franklin can take the dog on walks and interact with him, boosting Chop's happiness; The other one being Dexie, owned by Kerry McIntosh, appearing in the mission Vinewood Souvenirs - Kerry, in which Trevor has to chase the dog in order to retrieve his collar.

There is also a new Hunting side mission, which consists of Trevor hunting down different kind of animals and sending photos of their dead corpses to Cletus.

The enhanced version of GTA V for PS4, Xbox One and PC, introduced new animals into the game and a new collectable mission to photograph them. Also a further collectible was added Peyote Plants which, once consumed by the player, allows the player to temporarily control different types of animals.

During the Events of Grand Theft Auto VI
Animals return in GTA VI and also play a much more larger role in the storyline.

Many animals reappear in the game, but also new animals appear in the movie.

Fauna comes in a variety of shapes and sizes and occupy wild areas throughout the gameplay. Some animals have been domesticated by the inhabitants of the American West, and serve as pets, transportation or livestock. Other animals cluster together in the wild in packs, herds and flocks.

Predatory animals will attempt to hunt and kill other animals, human NPCs, as well as the player and his Horse.

Almost all species of animals can be hunted and killed. Many of these animals can be skinned, and have their pelt/feathers sold to merchants for cash (Birds cannot be skinned, but they can be looted for feathers).

Horses can also be mounted for transportation.
