[In PFS,] Can I take Additional Traits feat on an Int 3+ Animal companion, on an Eidolon, or on any other Combat companion? I recall the idea of traits being that they are each supposed to be worth half a feat, so it shouldn't be an issue of balance, but it might conflict with intentions or some other source I haven't found yet.
Obviously, it would have to be a trait that the creature qualified for and made sense.
Anyway, don't need a long debate here, just looking for a Yay or nay.
Any other way of gaining traits on a companion creature?

It also leads to some rather ludicrous outcomes like someone's pet axebeak having been raised by halflings so they can take the helpful trait.
Of all the criticisms this is the one I usually have the least problem with. People raise their animals to do strange, dumb things all the time--it sort of makes sense to me that if you adopted your pet wolf from a family of orc rangers it would have picked up some odd behaviors.

Yay, but the use of some traits might not be an option.
Also, I have a local player who rides in his animal companion and both of them have bodyguard, so everyone stands in the right position gets like +7 AC... they are still at about level 5 where this is completely ridiculous.
The character is helpful, the animal companion isn't so far.
To be blunt, if they one day make an FAQ that kills the helpful + bodyguards combo, I would be very happy with that (and 2 characters with the worse helpful trait that makes it only a +3).

Traits can be reflavored however you wish, as per Mark Moreland.
"Adopted" could mean "raised by" with regards to Animal Companions.
