I previously asked obsidian if they were going to add any new Druid forms or Hunter Companions to the new game. Unfortunately aside from a certain character specific bird, it seems they shall remain the same and it got me thinking. If for DLC or maybe a new game with hunters, what would you want to see as a Companion for our bow wielding friends? 

 

Personally, I wouldn't mind being a hunter with one of those large spiders tagging along, perhaps having an ability like the lions roar, but instead more of a webbing shot that slows enemies as opposed to scares them. So what do you think? Do you like the current list/ design of animal friends? or would you like to see a new mechanic or type to join your adventures?

I was hoping for an albatross, in keeping with the nautical theme. I'm fond of reptiles and amphibians, and it might be fun to venture beyond mammals and birds. A snake could have particularly cool animations, and could perhaps come with a constrict ability for some minor cc, or perhaps a poison. If there's ever content in The Living Lands, I'd love to see a carnivorous plant, especially as a Druid form.

I'd love to see reptiles--large lizards would be really cool.

I've mentioned before: Cassowarie or Honey-Badger.

I'd also be interested in reptile / insectoid (stone-beetle, etc) companions.
