Message: <blockquote data-quote="Majin" data-source="post: 1888643" data-attributes="member: 13265">I would agree with the general consensus that as an animal companion, for a druid or ranger, they would be more attached to this particular creature than any other and would not send it on a suicide mission unless the circumstances were extremely dire. I was also under the impression that animal companions had to be first befriended through animal empathy checks and so forth before taking on the magical bond between them and their master, but this could have been changed for 3.5.It really all depends on Drogo himself in this case and what kind of druid he is. There are evil druids out there that may use animals as fodder, but I don't think it would be in even a neutral druid's character to treat animals as such without a valid reason. It comes down to how close you really want to get with them and how much your character cares about fauna compared to the flora of nature. Take Drizzt for instance. Although his panther is not "technically" his animal companion because it originates from a seperate magical item, he treats it as a dear friend, as their experiences over the years have drawn them closer together. But in the end, it's up to you and the way you want to play Drogo and his relationship with animals. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
