Introduction
There are free pets and polymorphs up for grabs in The Elder Scrolls Online. All it takes to unlock these is playing the game.
Some of the pets are really easy to acquire and only need to own the DLC (or have access to it via ESO+ or free-play events) or to enter a certain area in order to unlock them.
Some other pets require a little more effort, but nothing more difficult than completing a quest-line or unlocking an achievement.
