Companion

I got this today, a companion.

Mince, a black-and-white magpie — collects small bones and arranges them by size.
Following you. Rating: Silver
Yours. A companion cannot be lost, traded or taken — not by a mob, not by a roll, not by the System.

Marrow, a banded ferret — has been in your pack. You did not see it go in.
Following you. Rating: Silver

Vane, a flat, patient lizard — is warm. It would like to remain warm.

Yours. A companion cannot be lost, traded or taken — not by a mob, not by a roll, not by the System.

My companion:

Cinder, a palm-sized beetle — makes a sound like a tiny door closing.

Same.

Pebble, a thin grey cat — sits on the highest thing in the room and judges you.

I got a beetle. I frigging hate bugs. You assholes!

Marrow, a ragged bat — hangs upside down from the edge of your HUD.

Pem, a broad stray — growls at mobs a full second before you notice them.

I also got a broad stray! His name is Chit… He keeps telling my party leader “Do it, lady!” And every time I ask when he’s doing when I catch him riffling through my pack he says he’s “Crunching the numbers.” Whatever THAT means…

I got Bristle, a scarred rat — sleeps in your loot box and resents being moved.

Does anyone know what determines the “following you rating” for companions? The rating for my companion went from Bronze to Silver and I’m not sure why!

Oh no, it dropped?! We need pet biscuits and a deadline to bond it (what happens if he descend and our bonding approval is low?)

I have a companion gloam and a pet scrap hound. wish I had a cat. 🙁
