Animal companion question

[Elric200]

You point out vulnerabilities present in your hunted prey, granting the benefits listed in Hunt Prey and your hunter's edge to an ally until the end of their next turn. Depending on whether you call out or use gestures, this action gains either the auditory or visual trait.

Does the word ally in the above cover your animal companion?

Yes, "ally" includes animal companions

But a ranger's animal companion doesn't need it

Yeah, that is tucked away in the feat description for Animal Companion rather than being part of the general class features for Ranger.

Which also indicates that this only works for the Ranger's Animal Companion gotten with that feat. If you get your Animal Companion from other feats such as the Beastmaster Archetype, then that doesn't apply. Not sure if that is a bug or a feature.

Considering that there are other types of companions besides Animal Companion (Undead Companion, Construct Companion), I am leaning towards feature. Getting any Companion from an Archetype rather than from the Ranger class feat is intended to mean that you don't get to share your Hunter's Edge.
