Reskinning the Panda animal companion

[Celestial_Chameleon]

Is there anything in the rules preventing me from making my buddy a red panda instead of a black and white one? Same stats just a different color and slightly different shape that doesnt affect any mechanics. The red panda fits the color/theme im going for on my mad dog barbarian. If this is acceptable, would it work in pfs as well?

PFS... no. Home campaign... ask your GM if red pandas exist.

Just curious why it wouldnt work in pfs. Not trying to challenge, just legit wondering what prevents it.

Reskinning doesn't fly in PFS. You want a red panda in Golarion... you're going to have to dye it. And it will be a sad panda.

Regular pandas are so ugly uhg. Time to find a new companion. Maybe a roc or axe beak. If both of those wont work thrn ill go with the good old bear. :-P

A panda weighs about 25 times as much as a red panda. They're not really equivalent.

A red panda is closer to a fox or a racoon. Maybe you could get away with calling a dire badger a dire red panda?

Heck, I'm not even sure what all is on the Animal Companion list these days.

Most of the list isn't worth looking at, so I wouldn't worry about memorizing it.

I vote you pain the normal panda red myself. Giant armored raging 'red' panda with warpaint? Yes please! Real red pandas like Claxon said are closer to rodents if I remember right. Not so amazing for war machines.

I think I'm gonna go with a beefy red wolf. Wolves are all around and the trip will be nice. That and later I can use it as a mount out of combat.
