[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 6742366, member: 1465"] ...and before you all start throwing rocks at me, notice that I didn't say that the RAW implies that the animal companion has maximum HP equal to [I]average[/I] maximum HP of a creature of its type, either. Truly, [I][U]the RAW says absolutely nothing[/U][/I]: "Its hit point maximum equals its normal maximum or four times your ranger level, whichever is higher." So its fully-healed HP equal its normal fully-healed HP. But the latter is different depending on the individual.
