Animal Companions


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


Hey, all you wonderful people,

I was wondering if there was a comprehensive list of animal companions (Pathfinder only, no 3.5/3.0) anywhere. My paladin is rapidly approaching 5th level, and I'm trying to figure out what he'll have as a mount. Right now, I'm thinking T-Rex (I know I'll have to wait till 7th level to ride it), but I'd like to see all my options and be able to compare them side-by-side.


I think you should ask your GM for that because I highly doubt he'll allow anything (if already rangers are limited, why shouldn't paladins be?)

Well, while there is no written limitation RAW, I'd self-impose a "must be able to ride it" (i.e., must be large or greater in size). Certain one's I'd have to wait till 7th level to use, (like the T-Rex), bur they'd be ridable.


well the 3.0/3.5 list is useless anyhow as it uses different rules. You use the druid animal companion rules. Back of the bestriy there is a list of critters in that book that are written up as animal companions.

And honestly I would never allow you to summon a mount ya can't ride. The ability is to summon a mount, if ya can't ride it then its not a mount.

Go here to d20pfsrd.com:

creature DB

Then set COL BR to 1 (have to scroll pretty far right)

That will show you all companion creatures.

Well i cant give you a single list, but add to what's written in the Druids class description page 316 of the Bestiary and you have all the official Pathfinder Animal companions possible laid out before you.

AWESOME! This is precisely what I needed!

Seeker, I agree, and that's why I'd limit myself. I'd probably even hold off on the things that turn large at 7th, though since paladin mounts are sentient, it would make for an interesting relationship RP to allow a medium creature before that which would grow into the mount role over time.

On the subject of animal companions chaps: I know within Organised play, the potential companion animals are restricted to the p.66 Core Role Book list...but I take it the 3.5 "Improved Animal Companion" feat no longer exists in PF at all?
