Okay, you are going on a fantasy journey through wild lands, a frontier area with magic.

You can have one animal companion that will, through magic, understand your commands and accompany you.

What IRL animal do you choose?
>> Anonymous
If it can be something that's extinct? Probably like...one of those midsized Allosaurus species or something. It could be a mount and a good guardian.

If it has to be living...a hugeass black bear or something. Or a narwhal. Oh god that would be kickass.

dinosaurs

for non-extinct, i'd choose a Rhino as a mount and a Siberian tiger as pet. Of course the Rhino would have to be epic and have +100% speed increase, and I will give the tiger arcane resistance so it won't be sheeped.

Tough call. I can think of a lot of different situations that would suit different animals.

If I wanted to intimidate people, I'd go with a really well known animal like a spotted hyena or a lion.

But if there wasn't much in the way of combat involved, maybe something really cool like a harpy eagle. Pic related. Still intimidating, great for scouting, would probably be a very interesting companion.

an albatross or an elephant?

maybe... a badass razor/silverback gorrilla. those things are fucking ALL MUSCLE and are extremely scary. Big enough to sit on and ride, strong enough to fuck anyone up, good jumping and climbing skillz...

yeah, a badass gorilla. I could get him to wear armor and teach him kung fu so if he ever encountered something terrible like an elephant, he would be able to take it down.

Do they have turtles that are huge enough to ride? I bet they would make for awesome magic bonus mounts.

If I only get to choose from extant animals, I'd go with a Siberian tiger or a Bengal tiger (depending on the climate). If I can pick from extinct ones, I'd be a draw between Xenosmilus and Utahraptor. Definitely something both stealthy and powerful.

This depends a lot on the nature and goal of the journey. And I don’t relay need protection as desperately as the little girl in Op’s post, and cant ride most of animals hat come to mind. . .

A hyena. It can intimidate, or fuck someone up pretty good. Can crush bones you now.
It also has a good sense of smell and can cover decent distances, so it makes a good scout or tracker.

A Raven is also pretty cool. Its smart, and can fly around scouting, or dropping bombs, or carrying messages, and I don’t have tom hide it when entering towns (if there are any in wild lands).

If I really need a mount, I guess id jus get a horse. A horse that can understand you perfectly could be very useful.

The biggest baddest grizzly bear that ever lived, have been known to grow to 10ft tall, 2k lbs. Has possibly one of the most useful noses on the planet. I wouldn't make him/her carry me everywhere but at least in dire need, a 2 ton bear would have no problem with my 180lb ass on his/her back.

AN ELEPHANT
They're my favorite animals, they're loyal steeds (there was a guy who was using an elephant in war and the elephant knew that it's life depended on it so it was pulling spears out of him and sutff) and they're strong. They're fucking tank.

A hawk, eagle, falcon, etc. Some type of bird of prey. They're intelligent, fast, and you could bring them anywhere under the guise of just being a falconer or something. Big shit would be harder to excuse.

A raven might be alright.
>> Anonymous
Probably a kitty cat.
a very cute one.

People would go to pet it and fawn over it.
Meanwhile, I'd sneak up on their distracted asses.

A king cheetah. Useful for protection, getting food, stealth, etc.

If I needed to be able to ride it though.. as long as they're going to understand me and not break me in half, a silverback gorilla. He could carry me, maneuver into places my stupid human body could not, and also be able to rip apart any enemies at the same time.
>> Anonymous
Probably a hawk, for reasons previously stated, plus they could hunt rabbits and shit so you wouldn't starve or have to worry about carrying much food.

Something big, though, I'd want a motherfucking rhino.

Enjoy your giant animal starving in a few days because you took it out of it's natural habitat and it can't hunt enough to eat.

Perhaps he could carry his own food? On the other hand it wouldn't be a problem if there was something else he could adapt to eating, like moose. Or people.

I figured I would carry him in a saltwater aquarium on my back. And in the tank, I would put my golden compass. Then, if somebody tried to take it. Ka-POW! They don't call them "thumb-splitters" for nothing.

(Honestly, I've never seen the movie, so I don't know if the compasses were even like this in the movie. I just really like mantis shrimps...)

Motherfucking falcon.
In combination with two ferrets.
Falcon for air attacks, ferrets for stealing shit.

rhino FTW.

ridable, super tough skin for imperviousness, eats grass and other simple shit found just about anywhere.

and even an elephant won't fuck with that shit.

Hm... I see most people want the common great big beasts, or bird of prey, or cute and funny... GOD how about some of us rogue class types?

I'd prefer the fast, silent and lethal types, how about a Cobra? Black Mamba? Taipan? They go generally undetected, unless you're Steve Irwin, and their toxins are pretty lethal, given the person bitten is a good ways away from a hospital.

For a larger snake, Burmese Python or Green Anaconda, can grow up to 20+ feet, and swallow a man or baby hippo whole, after breaking every bone in their body effortlessly.

Also, a swarm of funnel webs would do nicely as well.

Yah, In b4 "there's no girls on teh interwebs" but hey, scientifically speaking, women are more prone to poisoning their victims than exacting violence. I can only see an animal companion that reflects that.
