Companions (Pets)

Companions available at the Bazaar

Note that Companions are now called Pets on the Bazaar tab. It has been suggested that this is to distinguish them from a Constant Companion.

Note: This page is deprecated, and a number of these Companions have been upgraded, including Fate-locked ones. And they're called Companions again.
