The human companion is a guy who has always "felt the pull of the wild", but not to forests or anything... instead, he feels the pull to the sea/river.  He felt at first that this meant he should be a sailor, but now that he's met a druid, he realizes it was something more.  He wants to be a "water druid" or something similar.  What is fun with the guy is that he soon learns to shapechange... but he BECOMES the animal.  As in, he loses almost all of his human identity, intelligence, or anything like that.  He's a much more "primal" druid than the PC, and this can cause all sorts of problems that the PC has to sort out.  Also, we're talking a druid here with a sailing background, and therefore is a druid who hates fire - very odd for every druid I've ever seen!(in my own game, my druidic master was one who spent so long in animal form that he lost sight of his original form, and now was constantly shapeshifting.  this druid had no name, gender, race, or any form of identity, because everything was in flux.  However, druids flocked to him/her for leadership and guidance, because in a weird way, this druid that was now mostly animal had retained his/her intelligence.  It was a really fun, almost jedi-like relationship!)</blockquote>
