Can a druid have a pet?

Yes, Druids in Dungeons & Dragons can have animal companions, especially in older editions (like 3.5) where it was a core feature, but in 5th Edition, it's typically a feature of the Circle of the Beast (from Mythic Odysseys of Theros) or by taking a subclass like the Beast Master Ranger's Primal Companion (from Tasha's Cauldron of Everything) through homebrew/multiclassing, as the core 5e Druid focuses more on Wild Shape. Core Druids get a temporary companion through spells or backgrounds, but a permanent, powerful pet usually requires specific subclass choices or DM approval.
