Animal Companions
An animal companion is a cherished ally carefully selected by a druid or ranger to accompany them on their journeys. The profound bond forged between the two is marked by unwavering loyalty and unbreakable strength. As the druid or ranger accumulates experience, this extraordinary connection nurtures the animal companion, unlocking its untapped potential and allowing it to grow stronger alongside its devoted druid or ranger.
