<p>Evangelist of Erastil can get an exact double of the animal companion for the 2nd divine boon for rounds per hit die (twin fang).</p>
<p>Now this is pretty potent tool in itself... but if you went for hunter/sacred huntsmaster build this double now has all these teamwork feats and can tandem wreck face with the original animal companion for a couple of rounds of supernova while you hang back and cast spells...</p>Expanding on the last line of Eigengrau's comment:

A book like the core rule book. It's thick, heavy, and clearly defines what "character level" means for people that take animal ally</p>Reksew_Trebla wrote:Eigengrau wrote:There might be a way for your companion to have class levels and then it could get its own companion And familiar.

Or instead of Evolved you can go the Barbarian archetype and get the claws from animal rage.</p>Using the Animal Totem Tattoo from magical marketplace you can add the Eagle Shaman natural attacks on an AC giving them a bite and talons, plus Evolved Companion for claws you can get 6 attacks on any of the big gore users.

<p>There's also the feats Spirits Gift and Totem Beast that can boost your companion.</p>
<p>There's a few things in Mythic rules as well. </p>
<p>An animal companion with an intelligence of 3 or more can take Possessed Hand, Hands Autonomy, and Hands Detachment feats provided of course they have hands. There's also some feats that allow you gain a familiar too. I think they were in Familiar Folio.</p>
<p>There's also Monstrous Mount and Monstrous Cohort.</p>

<p>You could be a Primal Companion Hunter, while making all of your feats be Evolved Companion.</p>
<p>There's the Mammoth Rider prestige class.</p>
<p>A Nature or Mammoth Spirit Shaman's Spirit Animal also functions as an Animal Companion at 16th level. Unclear how this works if you already had an AC from a different class before reaching that level.</p>
<p>Not crazy, but you could be a Sylvan Bloodline Sorcerer with Boon Companion, who then gets a Robe of Arcane Heritage, bringing your AC to 4 levels above you.</p>
<p>If it was a dog, a small cat, a bird, or a horse, and you're Human or Aasimar with Scion of Humanity, you can take Huntmaster to raise it another level.</p>
