Currently, EchoPet only comes with an immutable predetermined set of pet types available to the end user. This framework is highly inflexible and, with the upcoming development of EchoPet 3, should be expanded to facilitate the construction of custom pet types. The following endpoints should be considered for registering custom pet types:

• API: Not only does this allow for developers to create their own pets, but could also potentially support the addition of modded entities as pets.
• Configuration: Allows for specification of pets defined by specific meta data (e.g. a red cat).

This concept will be expanded upon at a later date.
