You gain one of the animals listed in the Animal Companions, Familiar, and Mounts in the Additional section that has the animal companion tag. This animal is a loyal companion that accompanies you on all your adventures.
Unlike normal animals of its kind, an animal companion’s Hit Dice, Ability Scores, Skills, and Abilities advance based on your Proficiency Score from when you first take this trait. Your Proficiency Score increases, as concerns your animal companion, is considered 0 when you first take this and increases with your Proficiency Score from there. If you release or lose your companion from service, you may gain a new one by performing a ceremony requiring 24 uninterrupted hours of prayer in the environment where the new companion typically lives. This ceremony can also replace an animal companion that has perished.
