11Overview22Neighbors are the anthropomorphic animal characters who populate the world of Petit Planet. Each Neighbor has a distinct personality, profession, and backstory. Players befriend Neighbors through conversation, gift-giving, and completing tasks for them. Building relationships with Neighbors is one of the main sources of Luca and a core part of the daily gameplay loop.44Confirmed Neighbors77The Neighbor roster has grown across the game's closed beta builds. The table below lists the Neighbors confirmed in the Coziness Test and Stardrift Test builds, along with their profession. The Stardrift Test in particular expanded the lineup with several new arrivals, including Harpeno, Rebella, and Nerina, whose detailed profiles have not yet been fully described in official material. Three further Neighbors, Manna, Tika, and Heyu, were introduced through the official Neighbor showcase on August 26, 2026, ahead of the third and final closed beta. Isaki and Harpeno had their professions restated in the same refresh, and the table below uses the current official wording for both.99NameProfessionYunguoCultivatorIsakiBeetle TrainerMedowlynPlushie DesignerFrostiaMystic ScholarDorjelangHatmakerEsassaniStarsea RacerMorsOmni-Gallery CuratorGlennShopkeeperMobaiLife CoordinatorMsafiriAdventure GuideHarpenoStarsea Patrol OfficerRebellaGemsmithNerinaComposerMannaAction ActorTikaAgriculture StudentHeyuHot Spring Innkeeper1111Several of these Neighbors are tied to Loomi Corp, the company that assigns the player's first companions: Mobai (Life Coordinator), Glenn (Shopkeeper), and Esassani (Starsea Racer) all arrive early as part of the player's starting support team. Others, such as Yunguo and Isaki, are introduced through the opening questline, while the rest are met as the planet grows and through travel across the star sea.1212Planettes1414Each Neighbor has their own "Planette", a small personal planet. Planettes can be ranked up by the player, and ranking up a Neighbor's Planette rewards the player with Lumia Batteries for Starsea Voyages. The Planette is the Neighbor's home and reflects their personality and profession in its design.1616Progression Trees1818Neighbors have progression trees that resemble RPG talent trees. As the friendship bond with a Neighbor deepens, new branches of their tree unlock, granting the player access to new items, recipes, and planet mechanics or services. This system gives each Neighbor a long-term progression arc beyond simple friendship levels.2020Relationship System2222Each Neighbor has a friendship meter that increases through regular interaction. Talking to a Neighbor, giving them gifts they like, and completing their requests all raise the friendship level. Higher friendship levels unlock new dialogue, special events, and bonus Luca generation. Stronger relationships also unlock recipes, items, and new planet mechanics or services tied to that Neighbor's expertise.2424Outfit Suggestions2626At certain bond levels, players can suggest outfits for their Neighbors. This allows for additional personalization of the Neighbors' appearance, letting players coordinate their Neighbors' looks with the planet's theme.2828Gift System3030Neighbors have preferences for specific items. Giving a Neighbor a gift they love produces a large friendship boost, while a disliked gift may result in no gain or a minor setback. Learning each Neighbor's preferences through dialogue clues and experimentation is part of the social gameplay.3232Professions3434Each Neighbor has a profession that reflects their personality and gameplay role. Some professions relate directly to player activities. For example, Yunguo is a cultivator who provides farming guidance, and Glenn runs a shop where players can buy items. Others have more narrative or social roles, like Mors curating the Omni-Gallery museum.3636Finding New Neighbors3838Not all Neighbors are present from the start. Some are discovered through Starsea Voyage exploration, appearing on distant islets. For example, Dorjelang was recruited during a Starsea Voyage. Others may arrive on the player's planet as it develops and its Luca level rises.4040Other Characters4242Several other figures appear in beta materials or community-facing posts but are not part of the confirmed Neighbor roster:4545NameRole / StatusNaloAI chatbot NPC who staffs Cafe Untamed inside the multiplayer hub. Distinct from the Neighbor cast.Tala and TataNamed in community-facing materials as candidate Neighbors. Not yet confirmed playable; treated as future-update prospects rather than current roster.OumuamuaA spirit of the Starsea that appears in official material and event rewards rather than as a recruitable Neighbor. Named as a roaming character for the game's 2026 convention showing.4747A Note on Elsasani's Name4848The Neighbor listed above as Esassani also appears in official material as Elsasani. The 2025 reveal used Esassani; publisher material from July 2026 uses Elsasani. Both refer to the same Starsea racer, and the Esassani page covers the difference in full.5050About the Official Showcase5252The Neighbor showcase on the official site presents a rotating featured selection rather than the complete roster, and the line-up shown there has changed between site revisions. A Neighbor dropping out of the showcase is not evidence that the character has been cut, and the table above is not limited to whoever is currently featured.5454Final Beta Voyage Encounters5656The September 21 Final Beta notes confirm that Heyu and Tika can be met on Starsea Voyages and invited to settle on the player's planet. The same notice names a third new Neighbor as Manman, while the current website's featured showcase uses Manna. The available public descriptions do not resolve whether those names refer to the same Neighbor.5858The Final Beta also adds Season of Snowfall, with seasonal stories and new Neighbors to meet. Its announcement does not name those seasonal Neighbors or supply their birthdays, gift preferences or home galaxies.
