Animal Companions: Back To Guide

Animal Companions

This is a mini guide for choosing animal companions, here I put the stats of each one and rank them according to the following
color codes.
Purple an exceptional option (☆☆☆☆☆)
Blue a must have for a build (☆☆☆☆)
Green recommended option (☆☆☆)
Orange is a ok option or filler (☆☆)
Red avoid this option (☆)

For this guide I considered all the aquatics companions as yellow for this review, but if you are on an aquatic campaign you
should evaluate if want to focus on that type of companion

I feel that selecting an animal companion in Pathfinder is a mixed decision between choosing an animal with good abilities and
choosing an animal companion for the vibe and theme you are looking for. You should take the last word on which animal
companion suits you better

Here are some of the most common and well rounded recommendations

1st 4th 7th

Tank Wolf, Badger Badger, Ankylosaurus Ankylosaurus

Clobbering Charge (Ex)
When a pachycephalosaurus hits a target with its slam attack at the end of a charge, it can initiate a bull rush as a free
action to move the struck target back in the same direction as the dinosaur's charge. The pachycephalosaurus cannot
move with the target of the bull rush. If a pachycephalosaurus scores a critical hit against a creature with its slam attack
at the end of a charge, it also staggers the target for 1 round. If the victim succeeds at a DC 18 Fortitude save, the stagger
effect is negated, but the victim still suffers the effects of the dinosaur's bull rush attempt. The save DC is Strength-based.

an animal companion roc is limited to Large size—still large enough for a Medium druid or ranger to use the flying beast as a
mount.

Size Medium; AC +2 natural armor; Attack bite (1d6); Ability Scores Str +2, Con +2; Special Attacks impale.
Impale (Ex)
When an impaler shrike has a creature at least one size smaller than itself grappled in its beak, it can move the creature
to a dangerous location, such as a spike or a broken tree limb. This works like the reposition combat maneuver, except
the shrike can move an opponent to an occupied square. An impaler shrike still provokes an attack of opportunity using
this ability, so it typically pins its victim before attempting this maneuver. As part of this reposition, an impaler shrike can
attempt a melee touch attack against an AC of 15 to impale the victim on a nearby spike or similar object. If this attack is
successful, the victim takes an amount of piercing damage appropriate for the impaling object's size.
