DSH Desktop Pet Plugins (DeepSeek Harness)
State-aware pets, Live2D companions, token-tracking whales and cross-harness pet galleries — the desktop pets worth installing in DeepSeek Harness, ranked.
This is the silliest cluster in the catalog and one of the largest: over a hundred repositories carry the desktop-pet topic alone, and the directory matches several hundred pet, mascot and companion plugins in total. Let's be honest about what that buys you — nobody pays for a pet, and no benchmark moves when you install one. What they do deliver is a status light with a personality: a creature that changes animation when the agent starts a tool call, pings you when a run finishes, and sometimes keeps your token ledger while it does. This ranked shortlist curates the cluster: pet systems where you build your own character, cross-harness galleries like petdex and openpets, Live2D and pixel-art pets, transparent always-on-top windows, and pets wired to usage stats. Live catalog data, each with a copy-paste install command.
In a hurry? pc2005-cloud/dsh-pet is the reference build — one install adds a transparent webm pet, and its prompt recipes plus AI-video pipeline let you create your own character. Want a gallery rather than one pet? crafter-station/petdex publishes animated pets shared across Codex, Claude Code, DeepSeek Harness and more.

Why it matters now
Huge, free and unaggregated — the pet cluster is among the largest hobby groups in the catalog, yet no page ranks it; directory sites list the same pets twice over with no editorial order.
Real agent state, not a looping gif — the good ones subscribe to session events: multi-state animation engines, SSE pushes, completion sounds, approval prompts. A pet is a status bar you never have to look at directly.
Lowest-stakes first install in the whole directory — a pet is the easiest way to learn how DSH plugins mount, patch and unregister, and the novelty is cheap enough to throw away.

Live2D and the whale-girl branch
The gallery above is state-mirror pets; Live2D is the rigged-model branch — sprites that idle, blink, flick their tails and dance. The English query "deepseek harness live2d" measured 20.6 (easy) on 2026-09-27, and the whale-girl skin cluster is this branch's center of gravity. A skin dresses the UI; a Live2D pet performs the state — same cluster, two different lives.
Small-tailqwq/dsh-deep-whale (★2,229)
The whale-girl skin series — the highest-starred repo of the branch: crystal day and moonlit night themes, character and chibi pets, glass panels and ambient effects, shipped as a complete installable build. The headliner slot of the skin cluster.
The two raising sims
vlln/whale-girl (★337) is built around feeding, play and seniority growth; Sutera-Diffusus/dsh-whale-musume (★88) is a raising-style companion with a large sprite and dialogue library. Both turn "a pet" into a state that changes over time, not a static image.
Proper Live2D and the web-UI whales
cyanfish-x/dsh-live2d-pets (★27) brings Cubism models to the desktop with curated permissive-license presets and an agent-state mirror; Tisitan/dsh-live2d-companion (★9) is a Live2D monitor-panel mascot. lhh010/dsh-ui-whale (★36) and yunxiiQwQ/dsh-maid-whale-UI (★34) keep a hand-drawn whale in the web UI instead — the lightweight end of the branch.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use my own character as the pet?
Yes. pc2005-cloud/dsh-pet is a pet system rather than one whale: it ships prompt recipes and an AI-video-to-transparent-animation pipeline, so a new character means regenerating the asset folder, not rewriting the plugin. flytomayday80/dsh-pet takes the lighter route with zero-code asset swap-in and sound alerts, and huanlinoto/dsh-plugin-pet-rs renders a five-state whale in a transparent always-on-top window with a tray icon.
Are there pets that also track usage?
Two of the picks are quietly utilities. jimmy0123-ux/dsh-token-pet pairs a floating pet with live context and a lifetime token ledger plus trends; suiwan/whale-purse builds the whole character around your DeepSeek balance and session cost. If you only want the numbers, a plain usage plugin is the lighter install — the pet is the interface, not the data.
Do these pets run outside the browser?
Several do. qcytsn/dsh-dafeiyu and huanlinoto/dsh-plugin-pet-rs open native always-on-top windows (the Rust build adds dual SSE streams and a system tray across three platforms), flytomayday80/dsh-pet keeps reacting to session state — approval needed, working, done, idle, offline — without the DSH window open, and cyanfish-x/dsh-live2d-pets plus tisitan/dsh-live2d-companion bring Cubism models to the desktop.
Are desktop pets worth installing?
Only if you want one, and this page will not pretend otherwise. There is no commercial case: what you get is that a thing sitting on your screen all day reacts to what the agent is doing, and a completion sound you like is a completion sound you actually hear. Install the top pick, live with it a week, delete it if the novelty fades.
