Difficulty: ★★ Involved
Some find special kinship in the creatures of the wild, forming bonds of command and friendship with the great survivors and predators of the animal kingdom.
You have several choices for your initial animal companion and a wide range of possible options as you spend Legend to enhance them. Conversely, your personal options are fairly straight forward, focusing on keeping your partner in the thick of the action and playing off of the threat they represent to position yourself for powerful attacks.

Power: Animal Companion
Even more than with the typical companion character, you and your animal companion are perfectly in sync, able to blend your strengths and cover weaknesses with instinctual grace.
Party Role: Combatant/Specialist
Your innate teamwork with your animal partner makes you a double threat in combat, able to surround and destroy foes with ease. Your animal partner may also bring some truly unique qualities to the larger team you are a part of with options for stealth, infiltration, or mobility not commonly seen among most playable characters.
