What Is Creature Ball? Pet Photos Become Collectible Cards

Snap your pet, confirm it’s a real animal, spend one Creature Point, and mint a card that joins the public PetMona dex.

Creature Ball is PetMona’s optional collectible layer: you photograph a real pet, the system checks that it’s an animal, and one Creature Point mints a public card with rarity, element, stats, and your creator name. It does not replace wall portraits — HD credits and shipped prints stay on the main Create flow.

How a mint works

  • Open Catch (/ball), enter email + a 6-digit PIN (set on first mint or points purchase)
  • Capture or upload a clear pet photo, then run Check pet
  • Confirm and mint — one successful card spends one Creature Point
  • Your card lands in the public Dex and on your Mine shelf

Points are not portrait credits

Creature Points only pay for card mints. Portrait previews, HD unlocks, and 8×10" prints still use the usual PetMona credits. That isolation keeps collectible play from draining your wall-art balance.

Where to start

Browse finished examples in the Dex, buy a small points pack if you need fuel, then Catch your own pet. Cards are original PetMona collectibles — not affiliated with any trading-card franchise.

PetMona turns a clear pet photo into wall-ready art — ship an 8×10" print or unlock HD to gift yourself. Free preview, no subscription.
