[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 8826030, member: 2629"] Up to your DM. There are a half dozen elements here that DMs will rule differently. The technical requirement is that you use the bonus action to give it a command or it will act in a fashion appropriate to its nature (with the caveate that it is friendly to you and your companions). If you do not use a bonus action each turn, the animal is supposed to behave as a normal animal would - which might be to attack non-companions of yours if it is a predator, flee if it is skittish or would be afraid of what is before it, or whatever else the DM decides. If you summon two, you can't give orders to both as you have just one bonus action - but you can just hand the bag to someone else and have them summon a second animal as the bag does not require attunement. As the creature is friendly to you, the DM may decide that it will voluntarily hang out with you as a friend in the absence of orders. However, that is up to the DM. I don't hang out with my friends all day every time I run into them, afterall. [/QUOTE]
