Druid animal companion type

[Olorin]

I seem to recall reading here that the druid's animal companion should be remain an animal type, not magical beast. Is this true or am I living in my alternate reality again?

If it is true, what was the source of the correction? Thanks!

This is true. Andy Collins, PHB head revisionist, confirmed this on his baords (located at http://www.andycollins.net/). Animal companions are animals. It should be corrected in the official errata, whenever that gets approved and released.

Thanks very much!
