===Background===
The Red Order of the Flame is the reincarnation of the Yellow Order of the Old Fold of Nine. Since its founding, the Red Order has held closely to the core philosophies of [[Andrinor|Andrinor]], God of Mortal Magic, including absolute freedom in practice of the Art. Over time, it has increased its relationship with the Church of Andrinor, developing a generation of theurges (practitioners of both Divine and Arcane magics) dedicated to spreading the Will and Art of the Arcane Lord. The Red Order also believes in using magic to help normal people live day to day and seeks to help these same people learn to not fear and even accept magic and to help develop the arcane talents of those that wish it. It has also become a leading body of research into wild magic. Though it is the smallest of the Mage Orders, the Reds claim a greater percentage of Andrinorans than any other order.

===Requirements===
To become an Initiate of the Red Order of the Flame, one need only have the sponsorship of the Order. Sponsorship comes either from acknowledgment by an officer, or being apprenticed to a Red Mage in good standing. Initiates are expected to be enrolled in the Academy of Mortal Magic in [[Visimontium]]'s academic district. Seeking out tutoring by an experienced Red Mage is highly recommended, though not required. To become a mage fully vested the Red Order of the Flame, one must bear the Mark of Andrinor's Trust, acquired after graduating from the Academy. Mages bearing the Mark of Andrinor's Trust need not go through the Initiate process to join the Red Order.

Though many among the Red Order are faithful of Andrinor, one does -not- need to worship Andrinor to join.

''This page describes the OOC or non-FOIG related material for the Animal [[Companion Training System]].''

== Introduction ==
CTS stands for [[Companion Training System]]. It is an alternative to the BioWare implementation of Animal Companions for Druids and Rangers in the confines of Neverwinter Nights. It significantly expands on the ability of rangers and druids to make allies of animals, beasts and magical beasts. The system goes beyond animal empathy, and spell domination.

CTS is a voluntary system. A PC with druid/ranger/shifter/avenger levels may opt in to take advantage of the system, or alternatively retain their standard [[NWN:Animal_companion_(feat) | NWN companion]]. As of version 1.2, the majority of CTS functionality is performed using the [[Avlis_Command_Prompt|Avlis Command Prompt]] system and Player Tool #6 (note: the use of the old CTS items, the druid branch and the ranger pointer, is now deprecated). A list of the [[#CTS Commands | CTS commands are below]].

Companions in the CTS can be considered a melding of Fylgia (animal "spirit" or "soul") and the animal that the druid or ranger has bonded. The concept of a Fylgia is used to explain the selection of a base ''animal type (e.g., the animals allowed under the [[NWN:Animal_companion_(feat) | NWN Animal Companion Feat]])'' that a druid or ranger PC select upon leveling up. ''Note:'' the type of Fylgia and selection of animal companion can influence ability to train and command an animal companion.

== Obtaining an Animal Companion using the CTS ==

Bonding with a companion is a combination of IC actions and OOC engine mechanics. The mechanics aspects are presented below; however players are encouraged to roleplay their PC as they bond with a companion.

# Enable CTS. Type <code>/cts enable</code> in the chat window.
# Search in-game for an animal that your PC wishes to befriend.
# Locate the Player Tool #6 in the emote radial. (note: you may wish to quick slot this item)
# Befriend the animal. Ensure your PC is reasonably close to the animal, and use Player Tool #6 to target the animal. Then, type <code>/cts befriend</code> in the chat window.
# Once the animal has been befriended, use the built-in Animal Companion feat, as if you wished to summon your animal companion.
#* Note: If this step fails, [[#Non-bondable Animals and Animals with Unclear Fylgia|refer to this section below]].
# Finally, your PC should give the new companion a name. Type, <code>/cts name <companion_name></code>, where <code><companion_name></code> is the desired name of the companion. For example, <code>/cts name Fido</code> will rename the companion to Fido.
#* Note: Avlis "common sense" rules apply here. Please be considerate and do not abuse the naming function.

== Non-bondable Animals and Animals with Unclear Fylgia ==
Many animals found in game may be immediately bonded to become a CTS companion; however, some animals have not yet been added to the CTS system. In addition, some animals may be bonded but lack a definitive fylgia, making them difficult to train. There is an in-game mechanism for PCs to perform research on animals that are incompatible with CTS or have an unclear fylgia. Research discovery by a PC usually leads to receiving in-game credit. To perform research, the PC may [[Fauna_Lore | observe and collect information on a particular animal]] and [[Template:Animal_Companion_Research|submit it for review on the Avlis Wiki]].

Additionally, if the animal companion has a graphical effect applied to them, bonding may fail. A message is usually sent to the chat window reading, "There is something strange about this creature". For example, a Kirre is able to cast Improved Invisibility, which applies the concealment graphic effect to them. If a PC attempts to bond while the Kirre is still under the concealment effect, it will not work. Instead, simply allow the Kirre to follow you until the spell wears off, then perform the steps [[#Obtaining an Animal Companion using the CTS | outlined above]].

== Training ==
With the CTS, one may train their animal companion to learn tricks or follow commands. It takes practice on the part of the companion to master a particular command or trick. A PC must find out in game how to learn and master new tricks; however the mechanics of commanding an animal is performed by typing <code>/cts <command></code> in the chat window, where <command> is the command/trick that your PC wishes the companion to perform. If the companion is properly trained it will perform the specified task.
* Note: some commands may require involve a location or object. Use Player Tool #6 to select the object or location.

Analogous to crafting experience points, a PC gains experience points (xp) in companion training for teaching new tricks/commands, and in other circumstances. The number of commands that a companion may learn increases with companion training xp, but is also a function of: druid/shifter's level, a ranger's level - 5, and half of an Avenger's levels (if has druid or the proper number of Ranger levels). One may monitor a companion's training progression by looking at the training report via the command <code>/cts report</code> in the chat window. There are four categories of commands: Basic, Stealth, Combat and Special.

''Notes and Hints:''
* A druid or ranger may find it beneficial to party up and train their companions with other druids/rangers who have opted into CTS.
* Be wary of training around NPCs in game due to faction issues and hostility bugs.
* Use of the ranger pointer and druid branch is now deprecated.

== CTS Commands ==
* <code>/cts befriend</code> - attempt to befriend a new companion targeted by Player Tool #6 for training
* <code>/cts disable</code> - opt out of CTS and use standard NWN companion
* <code>/cts enable</code> - opt into using the CTS system
* <code>/cts feed</code> - legacy feed companion from dialog, with some limitation tweaks
* <code>/cts help</code> - lists CTS commands with a brief description
* <code>/cts name <name></code> - name or rename a companion
* <code>/cts raise</code> - attempt to raise a dead companion
* <code>/cts release</code> - release current companion
* <code>/cts report</code> - view a CTS report
* <code>/cts somatic</code> - CTS commands are given by movement gestures
* <code>/cts verbal</code> - CTS commands are spoken verbally
* <code>/cts <trick/task></code> - command given for companion to perform a particular trick or task

== Companion Class Types and Feat Progression ==
CTS no longer uses the "hard-coded" feat progression of NWN companions. Instead, when a CTS companion is summoned, a first level animal of your PC's chosen fylgia type is created. Then the animal is automatically leveled up in a specialized class (with some limitations, see below) to the appropriate companion level using NWN's built-in functionality. During this process, feats appropriate to the specialized class are given. Finally, the companion is polymorphed into the animal that you bonded to.

The fylgia type determines what specialized class your companion will use

Note: The information in ( ) above represents a ''package'' that the NWN system uses to level up (this is where the classes come from: [http://nwn.wikia.com/wiki/Package Packages]). This package determines what feats are chosen as the animal levels up.

The number of specialized class levels may be limited, depending on the PC's number of CTS levels, number of Druid/Ranger/Shifter/Avenger levels and the fylgia's specialized class. Remaining levels once the specialized level limit is reached are given as animal levels.
* '''level-up formula for monk fylgia:''' 1 + (PC's CTS level + Companion's # tricks mastered)/2 + PC's effective druid level/3
* '''level-up fighter/barbarian/rogue fylgia:''' 3 + (PC's CTS level + Companion's # tricks mastered + PC's effective druid level)/2
* effective druid level = # class levels of Druid + Shifter + (Ranger - 5) + (Avenger / 2) + (Cleric / 2, if has Animal Domain)

The creature's maximum total levels is capped at the PC's effective druid level.

== Animal Empathy Skill and CTS ==
The [[NWN:Animal_empathy | animal empathy skill]] influences several mechanics in the CTS (e.g., training progression, shared empathy duration).

For example, various fauna have DCs to befriend them and have them become your companion. This DC is set against the following criteria:

Animal Empathy + Trained CTS Levels + Druid and Shifter levels (i.e. effective Druid Level; 1/2 of Ranger levels) + Charisma Bonus + any item bonuses to boost Animal Empathy + a D20 roll.

== Shared Empathy Ability==
Extensive training leads to a strengthened bond between master and companion. A companion senses its master's emotional state more effectively and vice-versa. A master and companion begin to share senses and perspective between one another, enhancing both mental and physical characteristics. This ability can also be shared amongst other partied rangers/druids and their associated companions, provided they have opted into the CTS and their companions are with them.

This ability is automatically given, once the companion has mastered 3 tricks in a particular category of Basic, Stealth, or Combat. Once mastery is achieved in a particular category, the ability will be presented in the companion training report. It is invoked in a similar manner as giving regular companion commands. When used, the ability gives temporary stat and/or skill bonuses. Duration is dependent on both the training level and trainer's animal empathy skill. The bonuses are synergistic when partied with other druids/rangers who have companions. The bonuses are less at low training levels.

'''Affects:'''
* Unpartied: The trainer and the summoned companion
* Partied: The trainer and companion and any partied druid/ranger who has a summoned companion in the party, and the druid/ranger's summoned companion. Trainers must be in close proximity to one another. Will not affect non-druid and non-ranger PCs in party.

==Instructions for Use==

'''''In all cases, if you don't have any information for one of the entries, leave it blank. The template will treat it properly.'''''

*'''Name_of_Creature:''' This should be pretty obvious, and should never be blank, or why would you be creating a page? Some examples would be Avlissian Jaguar, Dire Tiger or Flying Purple People Eater.
*'''CTS_Code:''' The CTS Code number for the animal. This should also never be blank.
*'''Companion_Submission_Status''' This is used to clarify the research status, both for you and for the team/subcontractor members who will review your submission and potentially allow the animal to be trainable. Write "researching" as you are preparing the page. When you are ready to submit for review, replace with "submitted" (note: the "" are not needed). You should see a category listing at the bottom of the page the appropriate status. Please do not alter this value if it is being reviewed or has been accepted. If the animal has been reviewed and determined not to be compatible, it will be marked rejected -- look at the particular animal's wiki discussion page for additional instructions or details. Spelling counts!
*'''Type_of_Creature:''' Use one of the main category types in the [[Fauna Lore]] page. Valid entries are ''Animal'', ''Beast'', ''Magical Beast'' or ''Vermin''. If you do not know, please leave it blank. Spelling counts!
*'''Subtype_of_Creature:''' Use one of the sub-category types in the [[Fauna Lore]] page. Examples: ''Feline'' or ''Arachnid''. If the creature has no subtype or you do not know, please leave it blank.
*'''Author:''' This should always be filled in with your character name. As a courtesy, link it to your board profile in case the Team needs to PM you. See the example below for the correct syntax to link to the profile.
*'''Image:''' Completely optional. If you have a screenie, put it up. The template will limit the picture to a maximum of 400 pixels wide, so no reason to upload something huge.
*'''Most_Compatible_Fylgia:''' The most compatible fylgia for this creature from the list on the [[Fylgia]] page. Spelling counts!
*'''Most_Compatible_Notes:''' Any special notes on why this particular fylgia is best.
*'''Introduction:''' Your introduction to the companion.
*'''Feeding_Habits:''' Obvious.
*'''Disposition_Social_Habits:''' Disposition and social habits.
*'''Habitat:''' Describe the type of environments this creature might be found in. Include the server and name of the zone the creature was found in, but only the name of the area. Do not include FOIG info like how to travel there. For example, "In the Beetle Cave in Elysia" is appropriate but "In the Beetle Cave ((directions)) from Elf Gate" is not. If the creature was summoned or DM spawned that can be noted here or in one of the other sections wherever you feel it fits in to your report most naturally.
*'''Other_Notes:''' Any other notes that you feel compelled to include. If the creature you are submitting has color variances each appearance will have a different CTS code. If you wish you may collect all these CTS codes and add the additional ones here without writing up entirely new submissions. Example: "This submission was originally written for a black cow, but cows can also be brown ((CTS code of brown cow)) or black and white marbled ((CTS code of black and white))."

==Example==
This example is from the page [[Celestial Bison]]. Notice that you don't have to fit your entry onto just one line. You can use multiple lines and include much of the wiki formatting for each entry if you wish. See the Introduction entry below.

|Image= Celestial bison3.JPG
|Most_Compatible_Fylgia= Dire Boar
|Most_Compatible_Notes= Dire boar is most suitable due to its strength and determination.
|Introduction= The Celestial Bison is a docile creature when observed calmly grazing from a distance. When worked
to a frenzy, few creatures (or inanimate objects for that matter) can hamper its momentum. The bison is a cow-ish
creature: brown thick hair with a large elongated head and horns. The front half of the bison is massive in
stature and girth. Physically, it is vaguely reminiscent of the minotaur. It is unknown if the bison has natural
origins on Avlis, but if it did, I suppose one might look for it in the grasslands of nations such as Kurathene,
Toran Sharda, Dubanat, and Brekon . The bison studied by this author is one that was summoned from another plane
(Celestial). It is quite trainable and receptive to a druid or ranger befriending it.

Physically, the bison's outstanding characteristics are its strength and endurance. Offensive momentum is the
animals best fighting tactic, lowering its huge head, large horns and thick neck and plowing through its foe.
It travels well, able to trot along for long distances without need of food and water.
|Feeding_Habits= From observation, the bison is a herbivore grazer. Grasses (in copious amounts) are its favored food.
|Disposition_Social_Habits= The bison appears to be quite social, and will work with its trainer. The author suspects
it would travel in herds, if there were a number of them. Its mating habits and other habits are relatively unknown.
|Habitat= Grassy plains.

* In your browser's address bar, type [http://wiki.avlis.org/ http://wiki.avlis.org/<Creature_Name>] (Example: http://wiki.avlis.org/Celestial_Bison). This will bring you to a page on the wiki that doesn't exist yet, so at the top click "create" to create a page for your creature.
* Paste the text into the page and fill out per the instructions below.
* Hit save. You're done.

The page will auto-categorize based upon your entries so don't add categories to the bottom. Because of the autocategorization, if the instructions specify that spelling is important ... '''it really is.''' ;-)

==Instructions for Use==

'''''In all cases, if you don't have any information for one of the entries, leave it blank. The template will treat it properly.'''''

*'''Name_of_Creature:''' This should be pretty obvious, and should never be blank, or why would you be creating a page? Some examples would be Avlissian Jaguar, Dire Tiger or Flying Purple People Eater.
*'''CTS_Code:''' The CTS Code number for the animal. This should also never be blank.
*'''Companion_Submission_Status''' This is used to clarify the research status, both for you and for the team/subcontractor members who will review your submission and potentially allow the animal to be trainable. Write "researching" as you are preparing the page. When you are ready to submit for review, replace with "submitted" (note: the "" are not needed). You should see a category listing at the bottom of the page the appropriate status. Please do not alter this value if it is being reviewed or has been accepted. If the animal has been reviewed and determined not to be compatible, it will be marked rejected -- look at the particular animal's wiki discussion page for additional instructions or details. Spelling counts!
*'''Type_of_Creature:''' Use one of the main category types in the [[Fauna Lore]] page. Valid entries are ''Animal'', ''Beast'', ''Magical Beast'' or ''Vermin''. If you do not know, please leave it blank. Spelling counts!
*'''Subtype_of_Creature:''' Use one of the sub-category types in the [[Fauna Lore]] page. Examples: ''Feline'' or ''Arachnid''. If the creature has no subtype or you do not know, please leave it blank.
*'''Author:''' This should always be filled in with your character name. As a courtesy, link it to your board profile in case the Team needs to PM you. See the example below for the correct syntax to link to the profile.
*'''Image:''' Completely optional. If you have a screenie, put it up. The template will limit the picture to a maximum of 400 pixels wide, so no reason to upload something huge.
*'''Most_Compatible_Fylgia:''' The most compatible fylgia for this creature from the list on the [[Fylgia]] page. Spelling counts!
*'''Most_Compatible_Notes:''' Any special notes on why this particular fylgia is best.
*'''Introduction:''' Your introduction to the companion.
*'''Feeding_Habits:''' Obvious.
*'''Disposition_Social_Habits:''' Disposition and social habits.
*'''Habitat:''' Describe the type of environments this creature might be found in. Include the server and name of the zone the creature was found in, but only the name of the area. Do not include FOIG info like how to travel there. For example, "In the Beetle Cave in Elysia" is appropriate but "In the Beetle Cave ((directions)) from Elf Gate" is not. If the creature was summoned or DM spawned that can be noted here or in one of the other sections wherever you feel it fits in to your report most naturally.
*'''Other_Notes:''' Any other notes that you feel compelled to include. If the creature you are submitting has color variances each appearance will have a different CTS code. If you wish you may collect all these CTS codes and add the additional ones here without writing up entirely new submissions. Example: "This submission was originally written for a black cow, but cows can also be brown ((CTS code of brown cow)) or black and white marbled ((CTS code of black and white))."

==Example==
This example is from the page [[Celestial Bison]]. Notice that you don't have to fit your entry onto just one line. You can use multiple lines and include much of the wiki formatting for each entry if you wish. See the Introduction entry below.

|Image= Celestial bison3.JPG
|Most_Compatible_Fylgia= Dire Boar
|Most_Compatible_Notes= Dire boar is most suitable due to its strength and determination.
|Introduction= The Celestial Bison is a docile creature when observed calmly grazing from a distance. When worked
to a frenzy, few creatures (or inanimate objects for that matter) can hamper its momentum. The bison is a cow-ish
creature: brown thick hair with a large elongated head and horns. The front half of the bison is massive in
stature and girth. Physically, it is vaguely reminiscent of the minotaur. It is unknown if the bison has natural
origins on Avlis, but if it did, I suppose one might look for it in the grasslands of nations such as Kurathene,
Toran Sharda, Dubanat, and Brekon . The bison studied by this author is one that was summoned from another plane
(Celestial). It is quite trainable and receptive to a druid or ranger befriending it.

Physically, the bison's outstanding characteristics are its strength and endurance. Offensive momentum is the
animals best fighting tactic, lowering its huge head, large horns and thick neck and plowing through its foe.
It travels well, able to trot along for long distances without need of food and water.
|Feeding_Habits= From observation, the bison is a herbivore grazer. Grasses (in copious amounts) are its favored food.
|Disposition_Social_Habits= The bison appears to be quite social, and will work with its trainer. The author suspects
it would travel in herds, if there were a number of them. Its mating habits and other habits are relatively unknown.
|Habitat= Grassy plains.

==Template Text==
* Copy the text from the block below.
* In your browser's address bar, type http://wiki.avlis.org/<Creature_Name> (Example: http://wiki.avlis.org/Celestial_Bison). This will bring you to a page on the wiki that doesn't exist yet, so at the top click "create" to create a page for your creature.
* Paste the text into the page and fill out per the instructions below.
* Hit save. You're done.

The page will auto-categorize based upon your entries so don't add categories to the bottom. Because of the autocategorization, if the instructions specify that spelling is important ... '''it really is.''' ;-)

==Instructions for Use==

'''''In all cases, if you don't have any information for one of the entries, leave it blank. The template will treat it properly.'''''

*'''Name_of_Creature:''' This should be pretty obvious, and should never be blank, or why would you be creating a page? Some examples would be Avlissian Jaguar, Dire Tiger or Flying Purple People Eater.
*'''CTS_Code:''' The CTS Code number for the animal. This should also never be blank.
*'''Companion_Submission_Status''' This is used to clarify the research status, both for you and for the team/subcontractor members who will review your submission and potentially allow the animal to be trainable. Write "researching" as you are preparing the page. When you are ready to submit for review, replace with "submitted" (note: the "" are not needed). You should see a category listing at the bottom of the page the appropriate status. Please do not alter this value if it is being reviewed or has been accepted. If the animal has been reviewed and determined not to be compatible, it will be marked rejected -- look at the particular animal's wiki discussion page for additional instructions or details. Spelling counts!
*'''Type_of_Creature:''' Use one of the main category types in the [[Fauna Lore]] page. Valid entries are ''Animal'', ''Beast'', ''Magical Beast'' or ''Vermin''. If you do not know, please leave it blank. Spelling counts!
*'''Subtype_of_Creature:''' Use one of the sub-category types in the [[Fauna Lore]] page. Examples: ''Feline'' or ''Arachnid''. If the creature has no subtype or you do not know, please leave it blank.
*'''Author:''' This should always be filled in with your character name. As a courtesy, link it to your board profile in case the Team needs to PM you. See the example below for the correct syntax to link to the profile.
*'''Image:''' Completely optional. If you have a screenie, put it up. The template will limit the picture to a maximum of 400 pixels wide, so no reason to upload something huge.
*'''Most_Compatible_Fylgia:''' The most compatible fylgia for this creature from the list on the [[Fylgia]] page. Spelling counts!
*'''Most_Compatible_Notes:''' Any special notes on why this particular fylgia is best.
*'''Introduction:''' Your introduction to the companion.
*'''Feeding_Habits:''' Obvious.
*'''Disposition_Social_Habits:''' Disposition and social habits.
*'''Habitat:''' Describe the type of environments this creature might be found in. Include the server and name of the zone the creature was found in, but only the name of the area. Do not include FOIG info like how to travel there. For example, "In the Beetle Cave in Elysia" is appropriate but "In the Beetle Cave ((directions)) from Elf Gate" is not. If the creature was summoned or DM spawned that can be noted here or in one of the other sections wherever you feel it fits in to your report most naturally.
*'''Other_Notes:''' Any other notes that you feel compelled to include. If the creature you are submitting has color variances each appearance will have a different CTS code. If you wish you may collect all these CTS codes and add the additional ones here without writing up entirely new submissions. Example: "This submission was originally written for a black cow, but cows can also be brown ((CTS code of brown cow)) or black and white marbled ((CTS code of black and white))."

==Example==
This example is from the page [[Celestial Bison]]. Notice that you don't have to fit your entry onto just one line. You can use multiple lines and include much of the wiki formatting for each entry if you wish. See the Introduction entry below.

|CTS_Code= 1015
|Companion_Submission_Status= submitted
|Type_of_Creature= Animal
|Subtype_of_Creature= Bovine
|Author= [[Cairn_Mosslel]], ranger of [[Guild:ANRA|ANRA]]
|Image= Celestial bison3.JPG
|Most_Compatible_Fylgia= Dire Boar
|Most_Compatible_Notes= Dire boar is most suitable due to its strength and determination.
|Introduction= The Celestial Bison is a docile creature when observed calmly grazing from a distance. When worked
to a frenzy, few creatures (or inanimate objects for that matter) can hamper its momentum. The bison is a cow-ish
creature: brown thick hair with a large elongated head and horns. The front half of the bison is massive in
stature and girth. Physically, it is vaguely reminiscent of the minotaur. It is unknown if the bison has natural
origins on Avlis, but if it did, I suppose one might look for it in the grasslands of nations such as Kurathene,
Toran Sharda, Dubanat, and Brekon . The bison studied by this author is one that was summoned from another plane
(Celestial). It is quite trainable and receptive to a druid or ranger befriending it.

Physically, the bison's outstanding characteristics are its strength and endurance. Offensive momentum is the
animals best fighting tactic, lowering its huge head, large horns and thick neck and plowing through its foe.
It travels well, able to trot along for long distances without need of food and water.
|Feeding_Habits= From observation, the bison is a herbivore grazer. Grasses (in copious amounts) are its favored food.
|Disposition_Social_Habits= The bison appears to be quite social, and will work with its trainer. The author suspects
it would travel in herds, if there were a number of them. Its mating habits and other habits are relatively unknown.
|Habitat= Grassy plains.

|Author= [[PCs:Malulani_jael_MacMurray|Malulani jael "MJ' MacMurray]]

|Most_Compatible_Fylgia= Dire Badger
|Most_Compatible_Notes= The weasel is related to badgers, otters and ferrets.
|Least_Compatible_Fylgia= Dire Boar
|Least_Compatible_Notes= The boar is mostly a plant eater.
|Introduction= Weasels are small active predators, long a slender with short legs. Females are usually smaller then the males. Weasels usually have a red or brown upper coat and white bellies, some of them molt to a wholly white coat in winter.
|Feeding_Habits= They feed on small mammals, like, mice, rats, frogs, fish and small birds. Sometimes they will take poultry from farms or rabbits from commercial warrens.
|Disposition_Social_Habits= Weasels have a reputation for cleverness, quickness and guile. They generally hunt alone. Male weasels mate with many females and do not provide for the young.
|Habitat= I have observed them in Visimontium and Ferrell.
|Other_Notes= The weasel spirit teaches us to find ways to negotiate through difficult, tight conditions.

|Most_Compatible_Fylgia= Dire Boar
|Most_Compatible_Notes= Like dire boars, sheep are hooved animals. They may be distantly related, since they both bear their weight on the 3rd and 4th toes of their hooves.
|Least_Compatible_Fylgia= Giant Spider
|Least_Compatible_Notes= Giant spiders are far removed from sheep in terms of type of animal.
|Introduction= Sheep are hooved animals kept as livestock. They are raised for their fleece, meat, and milk.
|Feeding_Habits= Sheep are herbivores, grazing on grasses and other short roughage. Similar to cows, they have four stomachs for digesting their food, and chew a cud.
|Disposition_Social_Habits= Sheep are very social animals and flock together. Flocks tend to huddle together and will follow a leader, making them easy to herd. Being a prey animal, sheep tend to flee from predators as opposed to defending their ground. Sheep are fairly vocal, and communicate with each other among the flock by using a variety of bleats, grunts, and other sounds.
|Habitat= It is thought that the wild ancestor to sheep was created by the goddess [[Berryn]] specifically for [[halfling]]s, the humanoid race she created, because they were native only to [[Ferrell]]. Though sheep were domesticated after [[horse]]s, [[pig]]s and [[cow]]s, they were so thoroughly domesticated by the hin that no wild sheep remain.
|Other_Notes= Sheep are occasionally used as pack animals and also mounts by halflings, if times are desperate enough.

|Most_Compatible_Notes= The seagull, though smaller, is a bird like the hawk.
|Least_Compatible_Fylgia= Giant Spider
|Least_Compatible_Notes= Giant spiders are far removed from seagulls in terms of type of animal.
|Introduction= Seagulls are small coastal birds, with heavy bodies, long wings, slightly long necks, and rounded tails. They have webbed feet like ducks, but longer legs, like a chicken. This allows them to excel at swimming, flying, and walking.
|Feeding_Habits= Seagulls will eat almost anything. Gulls have been seen eating fish, worms, insects, eggs, rats, frogs, lizards, fruits, seeds, carrion, and even other birds. They also employ many hunting styles, from catching insects in midair, to plunging into the water to snag fish, to foraging for worms and seeds on the ground. Seagulls are able to drink both salt and fresh water.
|Disposition_Social_Habits= Seagulls gather together into large colonies, usually on small islands that can be found off the coast of [[Negaria]]. Pairs mate for life, and colonies will usually return to the same spot yearly to mate, give birth, and raise their young.
|Habitat= Seagulls can be found primarily in coastal areas across Negaria, even as far north as [[Tyedu]]. They grow accustomed to sentient races, and can sometimes be found on docks or boats, hunting for food scraps.

PotbellyPig

|CTS_Code=1029
|Type_of_Creature=Animal
|Subtype_of_Creature=Suidae
|Author=Rhigo Fellskin, [[PCs:Deider#Deider_of_Pelar |Deider of Pelar]]
|Image= Potbelly_pig.png
|Most_Compatible_Fylgia= Dire Boar
|Most_Compatible_Notes= The potbelly pig is one of many porcine species domesticated millennia ago from the wild [[boar]]. Although smaller and less ferocious than its wild cousin, it seems to share the boar’s determination and stubbornness.
|Least_Compatible_Fylgia= Hawk
|Least_Compatible_Notes= Potbelly pigs cannot fly (without the aid of magic!).
|Introduction= The potbelly pig is a stout domesticated creature living on small farmsteads, but often close to other wildlife which seems content as long as there is food nearby. Its fur can come in a variety of colors, but the potbelly pig seems darker than most pigs, and it retains its tusks albeit they do not protrude as much as those of a [[boar]]. Potbelly pigs are one of several miniature pig species, and are known for the low-hanging belly that is their namesake.
|Feeding_Habits= Will eat anything it seems. Like their larger [[pig]] cousins, potbellies are omnivores, and are often fed by their owners whatever domestic waste that humanoids and other animals will not consume.
|Disposition_Social_Habits= Like the larger pig species, potbelly pigs are intelligent, social creatures. Potbellies in particular have been bred to like humanoids, and are friendly to most and easy to befriend for a druid or a ranger. The potbelly pig is accustomed to people and wanders gleefully from stranger to stranger. He might lack the aggression of other pigs but have many resemblances as well you might find useful in a companion.
|Habitat= Farms, cultivated lands. It is thought that potbelly pigs were originally bred by the [[Romini]], presumably for their portability, and they can often be found in their camps.
|Other_Notes= The earliest record of potbelly pigs is in the oral histories of the Romini. They were once bred widely in [[M'Chek]] as an export food; though they are smaller than standard pigs and take longer to mature, their meat is considered more delicious. In the early years of The [[Kurathene]] Empire potbellies were a favored pet of the fiefdom nobles, but the fad died down within a century.

|Least_Compatible_Notes= Giant spiders are far removed from ponies in terms of type of animal.
|Introduction= Ponies are miniature [[horse]]s. It is commonly thought that ponies were bred from domesticated horses, but this is not true. Wild ponies originated in the harsh, arid regions of [[Toran Shaarda]], and this is the only nation where herds of wild ponies can still be found. The [[dracon]] of Toran Shaarda quickly domesticated them as part of their desire for order, but found no real use for them. The dracon themselves are stronger than ponies, so they make poor work animals, and the dracon do not eat them, so they made little sense to keep as food livestock. So many ponies were traded by the dracon to the [[halfling]]s of neighboring [[Ferrell]], where they are used for riding, pulling plows and carts, etc.
|Feeding_Habits= Ponies, like horses, are herbivores, and eat grasses and grains.
|Disposition_Social_Habits= Like horses, wild ponies live together in herds. Domesticated ponies that live in groups will also fall into a herd structure.
|Habitat= In the wild ponies are found only in Toran Shaarda. Domesticated ponies are most common in Ferrell.
|Other_Notes= Like horses, wild ponies are prey animals to large carnivores such as [[lion]]s and other big cats. Domestic ponies are rarely if ever eaten.

|Image= CTSPegasus.PNG
|Most_Compatible_Fylgia= Hawk
|Most_Compatible_Notes= The wings of the pegasus allow it to use its otherwise brutish hooves in very elegant ways. The fighting style is very hawk like.
|Least_Compatible_Fylgia= Dire Rat
|Least_Compatible_Notes= One would be hard pressed to find any way that the Pegasus is similar to a rat.
|Introduction= The Pegasus is a very rarely spotted magical beast that looks like an impossibly white horse with majestic matching white wings. Though they tend to remain far from civilization if you find one you are likely to find several.

They prefer a nomadic lifestyle away from anything that might be aggressive. Despite their natural avoidance of trouble, if pressed, they have surprisingly effective self defense. With the strong legs and hard hooves of a horse, plus the agility and three dimensional movement of the wings, their display of physical prowess is almost a performance. There is more to it than merely the physical. They have a spiritual connection to the air that grants them supernatural dexterity and avoidance.
|Feeding_Habits= The Pegasus has eating habits virtually identical to that of its more mundane relative, the horse. They graze in open plains, and since they have wings they can always fly to where the grasses are plentiful.
|Disposition_Social_Habits= Pegasus have a herd mentality, similar to regular horses. As they are far more rare, their herds are generally smaller and far less likely to be casually spotted.
|Habitat= Pegasus may be found just about anywhere far from major cities since they have the mobility of birds. Despite this, since there are so few of them and they prefer not to be seen it is not likely the casual traveler will see one in an entire lifetime.

|Least_Compatible_Notes=
|Introduction= Pack Bears are the domesticated cousins to the Dire Cave Bears in M'Chek and various other areas such as Nightfang. They look identical to their wild cousins but often wear the tools of their trade, a multiple arrangement of bags and boxes held on by various leather straps. They're immense strength allows them to both carry huge loads of supplies, and still fight along side their keeper in case of an attack. While Pack animals are used all over Avlis, The Dwarf Bunar Detraken rents T'Nanshi Pack Bears to adventurers and crafters from the outskirts of Zvidureth.
|Feeding_Habits= Like all bears, The Pack-Bears are Omnivores, eating both meat as well as plant material. Having been tamed they rely more on to their keepers for food then foraging, However they do seem to retain enough instincts to fend for themselves if left behind. Common items viewed as 'treats' Include berries and honey.
|Disposition_Social_Habits= Having been domesticated they are rarely hostile unless they are threatened. Since raised around people they are usually gentle giants. Most pack bears are trained while they are still young and are often placed with a more seasoned bear to learn from as well as a trainer. While training and while 'off duty' pack bears are social, often seen two or three sharing a pen. While 'on the job' a pack bear looks more to its keeper for companionship, enjoying being talked to or fed treats while working. Most pack bears are trained to return to their 'home' pen upon release from a job, although there have been on occasion ones that just wait around the area they were released until they are either rescued or they pass away. Once trained as a pack bear it is very rare for a bear to go feral or return to the wild, This may have to so with their dependency on people while being raised or due to wild bears rejecting them due to the scent of people on them.
|Habitat= They are able to live comfortably in forest, plains, and rural areas. They are trained to live along side people.

|Image= Deider_and_horse.png
|Most_Compatible_Fylgia= Dire Boar
|Most_Compatible_Notes= Like dire boars, horses are hooved animals and are extremely strong.
|Least_Compatible_Fylgia= Giant Spider
|Least_Compatible_Notes= Giant spiders are far removed from horses in terms of type of animal.
|Introduction= Horses are large, hooved mammals. It is thought that they were domesticated by the nomadic [[Romini]] when they reached the plains of what would eventually become the [[Kurathene]] Empire. Through selective breeding over the centuries there are now several breeds of horse, which can be roughly split into three categories: 1) light or riding horses, used for carrying riders quickly or for long distances, 2) medium or pack horses, used to carry large loads on their backs, and 3) heavy or draft horses, used to pull vehicles.
|Feeding_Habits= Horses are herbivores, and in the wild consume grasses found on temperate plains. Domesticated horses are often allowed to graze on such grasses, but are also fed hay, oats, corn, and vegetables, especially in the winter when grass may be dead or snow-covered.
|Disposition_Social_Habits= Wild horses live together in herds. These herds consist of smaller bands which are basically a harem, with one dominant mare leading several other females and their offspring, accompanied by a single male who acts as their protector and sire. There is a pecking order among the bands, with males establishing dominance over others to determine who drinks and eats first, among other things. Domesticated horses, if grouped together, will also form a herd-like hierarchy, with the pecking order including the humans they serve.
|Habitat= In the wild, horses live mainly in temperate grassy plains. In civilized areas, horses can often be found in the employ of sentient races, specifically driving caravans or stabled in military areas.
|Other_Notes= Wild horses are prey animals that are often hunted by predators native to grasslands, such as [[Lion|lions]]. They are also a favorite food of griffons. Despite their strong instinct to flee from predators, horses can be trained to fight, and many races, including [[human]]s, have used them as steeds in battle. Warhorses can be trained to attack with their front legs or kick with their rear ones; such attacks can easily knock down many foes. Horses are half of the inspiration for [[Centaur|centaurs]], the race created by the lesser god [[Skern]]. Horses are similar to [[donkey]]s, and the offspring of a male donkey and a female horse is a [[Pack_Mule|mule]].

|Least_Compatible_Fylgia= Giant Spider
|Least_Compatible_Notes= A Fenhound's devotion to hunting is drastically opposed to what we know of spiders. While they chose their territory to defend, they will not wait patiently for intruders to fall into a trap.
|Introduction= A Fenhound is a manifestation of a spirit who has forced themselves back to the material plane. Their intense devotion to their cause in life drove them to re-enter the cycle before it was their time, creating a physical body to inhabit from the aether.

A Fenhound stands approximately 4 feet high at the shoulder weighing between 200 and 300lbs. Their silver coats are stretched over tightly coiled muscle giving them an intimidating appearance.
|Feeding_Habits= Fenhounds live primarily on meat, although will only hunt enough to sustain themselves. The need to eat is only important because it helps them defend the grounds which they have claimed.
|Disposition_Social_Habits= Fenhounds are solitary creatures. They have been known to befriend adventurers who are working to defend their territories, however they should never be confused with a docile or tame animal.
|Habitat= Fenhounds can usually be found near the remains of battlefields or over destroyed holy sites.
|Other_Notes= While a Fenhound understands what location or ideal it was defending in it's past life, It lacks the higher reasoning to understand '''why'''. As such Fenhounds are occasionally tricked into acts they never would have performed in life.

A Fenhounds first tactic is to try and Howl to scare away any creatures who come to disturb what it is protecting. If that doesn't work they will rely on their resilient hides to turn away most blows and close in to intruders. Because of their intense devotion, Fenhounds develop very acute senses to detect intruders, evading a Fenhound near their chosen ground is no easy task.

|Introduction= Meadowlarks are small birds, slightly larger than [[Elysian_Dart_Swallow|dart swallows]]. There are many types of meadowlarks, but they have two things in common: they are usually found near grasslands and cultivated fields, and they are renowned for their beautiful songs. The [[Elysia|Elysian]] meadowlark is recognizable by the dawn-colored breasts of the males of the species.
|Feeding_Habits= Elysian meadowlarks forage for food on the ground. They feed mainly on insects and seeds.
|Disposition_Social_Habits= Like other meadowlarks, the Elysian variety has a colorful male and a plain, brown-colored female. The males use their colorful plumage and songs to attract and keep mates, as well as warn off rivals. They are usually found in small groups of three to five, which typically constitute a mated pair and their juvenile offspring.
|Habitat= Elysian meadowlarks are only found in sunny fields surrounded by trees near Elysia.
|Other_Notes= Elysian meadowlarks are considered too small to be useful food animals for the humanoids that live nearby. However, their feathers are used by some fletchers when making arrows. Many locals will pluck the feathers from live birds, and the feathers eventually grow back, but others will take the feathers after slaying the birds.

|Introduction= Swallows are small birds that are commonly seen around rivers and lakes in [[Negaria]]. The Elysian dart swallow is no exception. It is known for its distinctive deep purple plumage.
|Feeding_Habits= The Elysian dart swallow feeds exclusively on insects, such as flies, dragonflies, small beetles, and flying ants. They catch and eat their prey in mid-air while flying.
|Disposition_Social_Habits= Elysian dart swallows hunt together in flocks. They are rare among birds in that the male and female do not have different plumage. The males attract females in a courtship ritual in which they perform elaborate aerial dance routines. Mated pairs will burrow nests into the ground near riverbanks.
|Habitat= Elysian dart swallows are found exclusively near rivers around [[Elysia]]. They do not build nests in trees, but prefer burrows in the ground. In the winter they tunnel into riverbanks to spend the night.
|Other_Notes= Elysian dart swallows are prized by the local population for keeping the insect population down, especially in summer. They are rarely hunted for food, being too small to generate any decent amount of meat. However, their feathers are often used as fletching for arrows, and while locals will pluck feathers from live birds or use ones found on the ground, outsiders will sometimes kill the swallows for their feathers and leave the carcasses by the river, to the consternation of Elysians.

|Image= Celestial_Huge_Androsphinx.PNG
|Most_Compatible_Fylgia= Hawk
|Most_Compatible_Notes= While obviously predominantly feline in build, the androsphinx does not behave in a stealthy manner or try to make precise strikes in combat. It's spiritual nature attunes it most closely with the hawk.
|Least_Compatible_Fylgia= Dire Rat
|Least_Compatible_Notes= The Dire Rat is everything the androsphinx is not. The androsphinx is not small, not sneaky, and would quite possibly eat anything that referred to it as low class.
|Introduction= All androsphinx are, by definition, male. The Celestial Huge Androsphinx is specifically a male sphinx that is native to the divine planes. All specimens studied were summoned via druidic magic. They are all innately creatures of good, and as their animalistic nature implies they pursue what they believe to be good regardless of the laws of whatever land they have been summoned to.

The androsphinx is unique in that while it is a fully sentient creature, it can still be dominated by a druid with sufficient talent in animal empathy. It is quite aware of this vulnerability however and is able to ward itself against hostile intrusions into its mind. It also has the ability to use several divine spells. It is attuned to the air and animal clerical domains, suggesting that androsphinx serve and are granted the ability to channel divine magic from both O'Ma and Dru'El. Observed spells included Hammer of the Gods, Shield of Faith, Searing Light, Dispel Magic, Divine Favor, Resistance, Aid, Bull's Strength, and various levels of healing magic.

In combat, the androsphinx prefers not to cast protective magic until the moment the fight has begun. Before striking the androsphinx will roar in an attempt to frighten the foe. After that, it will use its most devastating offensive spells in an attempt to end the fight as quickly as possible. Enemies may think they have won if they survive the intial fury of the androsphinx's divine assault, however the fangs and claws of the androsphinx are not just for show. When engaging in physical combat the androsphinx continues to approach the fight with the desire to end it quickly, preferring powerful swipes and bites intended to kill with a single blow if possible. Enemies attempting a stealthy attack will find it difficult to surprise the androsphinx. Though it has no magical sixth sense allowing it to detect life or invisibility, it does have the eyes and ears of a predator allowing it to hear the quietest scurrying of a rat or to spot the slightest motion in the shadows.

Though sentient creatures usually lack enough animal nature to be bonded to a druid as a companion, the androsphinx, like all sphinx, has a strong natural tendency towards guardianship. This is usually guardianship of a place or an entrance, but a talented enough druid with enough dedication can convince an androsphinx to allow itself to be bonded. Androsphinx are proud, so the druid must prove that it is worthy to be the focus of guardianship. Compatible fylgia plays a large role in this. The androsphinx can sense a rat and has no desire to associate with one. If an androsphinx decides to assume guardianship of a druid, it makes the conscious decision to allow its animalistic nature become more dominant so that the druid may perform the bonding ritual. Because of this added component, a druid who has bonded a celestial androsphinx as an animal companion experiences a relationship of trust and respect that grants a feeling of sanctuary whenever the androsphinx is near.
|Feeding_Habits= The androsphinx is carnivorous but rarely actually needs to eat. They have adapted to lives of long guardianship where it may happen that they only eat when an unfortunate creature tries to get past them.
|Disposition_Social_Habits= The unbonded androsphinx is solitary and territorial. They often spend their entire lives guarding one location and only interacting with those who threaten the place they guard.
|Habitat= As a celestial being, its natural habitat is somewhere in the upper planes. Given their alignment, animalistic nature, and likely source of their divine magic, it would be expected that many of them could be found in the Beastlands.
|Other_Notes= Dust was responsible for summoning all specimen and as both Dust and the celestial androsphinx share an affinity to the domain of air, Dust had great success in the study of the magical beast. As he is rather private and anti social Dust requested that I, Auryna Ak'hanrye, record and pass the results of his research on to others.

|Least_Compatible_Fylgia= Dire Rat
|Least_Compatible_Notes= Bezekira are fierce predators. There is nothing further from their nature than the scurry of a rat.
|Introduction= Sleek and stealthy, large and powerful, the bezekira is perhaps the most ferocious cat Tel or Kassaerth have yet come across. The hellcat, as many call it, is as large as the tiger, as stealthy as the panther, and much more dangerous than either. Most are black, some with patches of dark red. Despite its size, the bezekira is able to disappear into the slightest of shadows, becoming near invisible at will.
|Feeding_Habits= Hellcats have a significant intelligence and sometimes kill for the enjoyment of it. Even those kept by devils often refuse to be fed and instead hunt for their own food.
|Disposition_Social_Habits= Bezekira are cruel creatures, a product of the 9 hells to which they call their home. They take a perverse enjoyment from setting ambushes and otherwise outwitting their prey, which they may be stalking and killing in their boredom. Kassaerth has most often seen hellcats in small packs of two or three, although bezekira have also been known to travel and hunt alone.
|Habitat= These cats are rarely seen outside of the planes of Hell. They can occasionally be found where the fabric between the planes is thinner using the Material Plane as a private hunting ground. Kassaerth has only encountered hellcats in the deep tunnels beneath Deglos, near the company of devils such as Erinyes and Cornugons. It is uncertain if the bezekira itself is actually a devil, or if such devils sometimes keep them as pets.
|Other_Notes= (( Bezekira are currently trainable, but become a red panther once tamed, presumably due to shared appearance. They are obviously a different creature, perhaps even one that should not be compatible with CTS due to being a devil. If they are to be compatible, suggested CTS special abilities (to most closely match the standard creature's innate abilities) could include Improved Invisibility, Nightstalker's Transformation (Transmutant version of Tenser's), Greater Stoneskin, or Shadowshield. ))

Mules are usually stronger than horses of the same size while being less stubborn than donkeys.

|Introduction= Pack Bears are the domesticated cousins to the Dire Cave Bears in M'Chek and various other areas such as Nightfang. They look identical to their wild cousins but often wear the tools of their trade, a multiple arrangement of bags and boxes held on by various leather straps. They're immense strength allows them to both carry huge loads of supplies, and still fight along side their keeper in case of an attack. While Pack animals are used all over Avlis, The Dwarf Bunar Detraken rents T'Nanshi Pack Bears to adventurers and crafters from the outskirts of Zvidureth.
|Feeding_Habits= Like all bears, The Pack-Bears are Omnivores, eating both meat as well as plant material. Having been tamed they rely more on to their keepers for food then foraging, However they do seem to retain enough instincts to fend for themselves if left behind. Common items viewed as 'treats' Include berries and honey.
|Disposition_Social_Habits= Having been domesticated they are rarely hostile unless they are threatened. Since raised around people they are usually gentle giants. Most pack bears are trained while they are still young and are often placed with a more seasoned bear to learn from as well as a trainer. While training and while 'off duty' pack bears are social, often seen two or three sharing a pen. While 'on the job' a pack bear looks more to its keeper for companionship, enjoying being talked to or fed treats while working. Most pack bears are trained to return to their 'home' pen upon release from a job, although there have been on occasion ones that just wait around the area they were released until they are either rescued or they pass away. Once trained as a pack bear it is very rare for a bear to go feral or return to the wild, This may have to so with their dependency on people while being raised or due to wild bears rejecting them due to the scent of people on them.
|Habitat= They are able to live comfortably in forest, plains, and rural areas. They are trained to live along side people.

==Instructions for Use==

'''''In all cases, if you don't have any information for one of the entries, leave it blank. The template will treat it properly.'''''

*'''Name_of_Creature:''' This should be pretty obvious, and should never be blank, or why would you be creating a page? Some examples would be Avlissian Jaguar, Dire Tiger or Flying Purple People Eater.
*'''CTS_Code:''' The CTS Code number for the animal. This should also never be blank.
*'''Companion_Submission_Status''' This is used to clarify the research status, both for you and for the team/subcontractor members who will review your submission and potentially allow the animal to be trainable. Write "researching" as you are preparing the page. When you are ready to submit for review, replace with "submitted" (note: the "" are not needed). You should see a category listing at the bottom of the page the appropriate status. Please do not alter this value if it is being reviewed or has been accepted. If the animal has been reviewed and determined not to be compatible, it will be marked rejected -- look at the particular animal's wiki discussion page for additional instructions or details. Spelling counts!
*'''Type_of_Creature:''' Use one of the main category types in the [[Fauna Lore]] page. Valid entries are ''Animal'', ''Beast'', ''Magical Beast'' or ''Vermin''. If you do not know, please leave it blank. Spelling counts!
*'''Subtype_of_Creature:''' Use one of the sub-category types in the [[Fauna Lore]] page. Examples: ''Feline'' or ''Arachnid''. If the creature has no subtype or you do not know, please leave it blank.
*'''Author:''' This should always be filled in with your character name. As a courtesy, link it to your board profile in case the Team needs to PM you. See the example below for the correct syntax to link to the profile.
*'''Image:''' Completely optional. If you have a screenie, put it up. The template will limit the picture to a maximum of 400 pixels wide, so no reason to upload something huge.
*'''Most_Compatible_Fylgia:''' The most compatible fylgia for this creature from the list on the [[Fylgia]] page. Spelling counts!
*'''Most_Compatible_Notes:''' Any special notes on why this particular fylgia is best.
*'''Introduction:''' Your introduction to the companion.
*'''Feeding_Habits:''' Obvious.
*'''Disposition_Social_Habits:''' Disposition and social habits.
*'''Habitat:''' Describe the type of environments this creature might be found in. Include the server and name of the zone the creature was found in, but only the name of the area. Do not include FOIG info like how to travel there. For example, "In the Beetle Cave in Elysia" is appropriate but "In the Beetle Cave ((directions)) from Elf Gate" is not. If the creature was summoned or DM spawned that can be noted here or in one of the other sections wherever you feel it fits in to your report most naturally.
*'''Other_Notes:''' Any other notes that you feel compelled to include. If the creature you are submitting has color variances each appearance will have a different CTS code. If you wish you may collect all these CTS codes and add the additional ones here without writing up entirely new submissions. Example: "This submission was originally written for a black cow, but cows can also be brown ((CTS code of brown cow)) or black and white marbled ((CTS code of black and white))."

==Example==
This example is from the page [[Celestial Bison]]. Notice that you don't have to fit your entry onto just one line. You can use multiple lines and include much of the wiki formatting for each entry if you wish. See the Introduction entry below.

|Name_of_Creature= Celestial Bison
|CTS_Code= 1015
|Companion_Submission_Status= submitted
|Type_of_Creature= Animal
|Subtype_of_Creature= Bovine
|Author= [[Cairn_Mosslel]], ranger of [[Guild:ANRA|ANRA]]
|Image= Celestial bison3.JPG
|Most_Compatible_Fylgia= Dire Boar
|Most_Compatible_Notes= Dire boar is most suitable due to its strength and determination.
|Introduction= The Celestial Bison is a docile creature when observed calmly grazing from a distance. When worked
to a frenzy, few creatures (or inanimate objects for that matter) can hamper its momentum. The bison is a cow-ish
creature: brown thick hair with a large elongated head and horns. The front half of the bison is massive in
stature and girth. Physically, it is vaguely reminiscent of the minotaur. It is unknown if the bison has natural
origins on Avlis, but if it did, I suppose one might look for it in the grasslands of nations such as Kurathene,
Toran Sharda, Dubanat, and Brekon . The bison studied by this author is one that was summoned from another plane
(Celestial). It is quite trainable and receptive to a druid or ranger befriending it.

Physically, the bison's outstanding characteristics are its strength and endurance. Offensive momentum is the
animals best fighting tactic, lowering its huge head, large horns and thick neck and plowing through its foe.
It travels well, able to trot along for long distances without need of food and water.
|Feeding_Habits= From observation, the bison is a herbivore grazer. Grasses (in copious amounts) are its favored food.
|Disposition_Social_Habits= The bison appears to be quite social, and will work with its trainer. The author suspects
it would travel in herds, if there were a number of them. Its mating habits and other habits are relatively unknown.
|Habitat= Grassy plains.

|Feeding_Habits= From observation, the bison is a herbivore grazer. Grasses (in copious amounts) are its favored food.
|Disposition_Social_Habits= The bison appears to be quite social, and will work with its trainer. The author suspects
it would travel in herds, if there were a number of them. Its mating habits and other habits are relatively unknown.
|Habitat= Grassy plains. Specifically I studied a herd grazing in Southeastern M'Chek.
|Other_Notes= Young Bison ((CTS Code 1016)) are also interspersed with the herd and are open to befriending.

==Template Text==
* Copy the text from the block below.
* Create the new page for your companion.
* Paste the text into the page and fill out per the instructions below.
* Hit save. You're done.

The page will auto-categorize based upon your entries so don't add categories to the bottom. Because of the autocategorization, if the instructions specify that spelling is important ... '''it really is.''' ;-)

==Instructions for Use==

'''''In all cases, if you don't have any information for one of the entries, leave it blank. The template will treat it properly.'''''

*'''Name_of_Creature:''' This should be pretty obvious, and should never be blank, or why would you be creating a page? Some examples would be Avlissian Jaguar, Dire Tiger or Flying Purple People Eater.
*'''CTS_Code:''' The CTS Code number for the animal. This should also never be blank.
*'''Companion_Submission_Status''' This is used to clarify the research status, both for you and for the team/subcontractor members who will review your submission and potentially allow the animal to be trainable. Write "researching" as you are preparing the page. When you are ready to submit for review, replace with "submitted" (note: the "" are not needed). You should see a category listing at the bottom of the page the appropriate status. Please do not alter this value if it is being reviewed or has been accepted. If the animal has been reviewed and determined not to be compatible, it will be marked rejected -- look at the particular animal's wiki discussion page for additional instructions or details. Spelling counts!
*'''Type_of_Creature:''' Use one of the main category types in the [[Fauna Lore]] page. Valid entries are ''Animal'', ''Beast'', ''Magical Beast'' or ''Vermin''. If you do not know, please leave it blank. Spelling counts!
*'''Subtype_of_Creature:''' Use one of the sub-category types in the [[Fauna Lore]] page. Examples: ''Feline'' or ''Arachnid''. If the creature has no subtype or you do not know, please leave it blank.
*'''Author:''' This should always be filled in with your character name. As a courtesy, link it to your board profile in case the Team needs to PM you. See the example below for the correct syntax to link to the profile.
*'''Image:''' Completely optional. If you have a screenie, put it up. The template will limit the picture to a maximum of 400 pixels wide, so no reason to upload something huge.
*'''Most_Compatible_Fylgia:''' The most compatible fylgia for this creature from the list on the [[Fylgia]] page. Spelling counts!
*'''Most_Compatible_Notes:''' Any special notes on why this particular fylgia is best.
*'''Introduction:''' Your introduction to the companion.
*'''Feeding_Habits:''' Obvious.
*'''Disposition_Social_Habits:''' Disposition and social habits.
*'''Habitat:''' Describe the type of environments this creature might be found in. Include the server and name of the zone the creature was found in, but only the name of the area. Do not include FOIG info like how to travel there. For example, "Southwestern M'Chek" is appropriate but "Three miles west of Derrington Keep" is not.
*'''Other_Notes:''' Any other notes that you feel compelled to include. If the creature you are submitting has color variances each appearance will have a different CTS code. If you wish you may collect all these CTS codes and add the additional ones here without writing up entirely new submissions. Example: "This submission was originally written for a black cow, but cows can also be brown ((CTS code of brown cow)) or black and white marbled ((CTS code of black and white))."

==Example==
This example is from the page [[Celestial Bison]]. Notice that you don't have to fit your entry onto just one line. You can use multiple lines and include much of the wiki formatting for each entry if you wish. See the Introduction entry below.

|Image= Celestial bison3.JPG
|Most_Compatible_Fylgia= Dire Boar
|Most_Compatible_Notes= Dire boar is most suitable due to its strength and determination.
|Introduction= The Celestial Bison is a docile creature when observed calmly grazing from a distance. When worked
to a frenzy, few creatures (or inanimate objects for that matter) can hamper its momentum. The bison is a cow-ish
creature: brown thick hair with a large elongated head and horns. The front half of the bison is massive in
stature and girth. Physically, it is vaguely reminiscent of the minotaur. It is unknown if the bison has natural
origins on Avlis, but if it did, I suppose one might look for it in the grasslands of nations such as Kurathene,
Toran Sharda, Dubanat, and Brekon . The bison studied by this author is one that was summoned from another plane
(Celestial). It is quite trainable and receptive to a druid or ranger befriending it.

Physically, the bison's outstanding characteristics are its strength and endurance. Offensive momentum is the
animals best fighting tactic, lowering its huge head, large horns and thick neck and plowing through its foe.
It travels well, able to trot along for long distances without need of food and water.

==Template Text==
* Copy the text from the block below.
* Create the new page for your companion.
* Paste the text into the page and fill out per the instructions below.
* Hit save. You're done.

The page will auto-categorize based upon your entries so don't add categories to the bottom. Because of the autocategorization, if the instructions specify that spelling is important ... '''it really is.''' ;-)

==Instructions for Use==

'''''In all cases, if you don't have any information for one of the entries, leave it blank. The template will treat it properly.'''''

*'''Name_of_Creature:''' This should be pretty obvious, and should never be blank, or why would you be creating a page? Some examples would be Avlissian Jaguar, Dire Tiger or Flying Purple People Eater.
*'''CTS_Code:''' The CTS Code number for the animal. This should also never be blank.
*'''Companion_Submission_Status''' This is used to clarify the research status, both for you and for the team/subcontractor members who will review your submission and potentially allow the animal to be trainable. Write "researching" as you are preparing the page. When you are ready to submit for review, replace with "submitted" (note: the "" are not needed). You should see a category listing at the bottom of the page the appropriate status. Please do not alter this value if it is being reviewed or has been accepted. If the animal has been reviewed and determined not to be compatible, it will be marked rejected -- look at the particular animal's wiki discussion page for additional instructions or details. Spelling counts!
*'''Type_of_Creature:''' Use one of the main category types in the [[Fauna Lore]] page. Valid entries are ''Animal'', ''Beast'', ''Magical Beast'' or ''Vermin''. If you do not know, please leave it blank. Spelling counts!
*'''Subtype_of_Creature:''' Use one of the sub-category types in the [[Fauna Lore]] page. Examples: ''Feline'' or ''Arachnid''. If the creature has no subtype or you do not know, please leave it blank.
*'''Author:''' This should always be filled in with your character name. As a courtesy, link it to your board profile in case the Team needs to PM you. See the example below for the correct syntax to link to the profile.
*'''Image:''' Completely optional. If you have a screenie, put it up. The template will limit the picture to a maximum of 400 pixels wide, so no reason to upload something huge.
*'''Most_Compatible_Fylgia:''' The most compatible fylgia for this creature from the list on the [[Fylgia]] page. Spelling counts!
*'''Most_Compatible_Notes:''' Any special notes on why this particular fylgia is best.
*'''Introduction:''' Your introduction to the companion.
*'''Feeding_Habits:''' Obvious.
*'''Disposition_Social_Habits:''' Disposition and social habits.
*'''Habitat:''' Obvious.
*'''Other_Notes:''' Any other notes that you feel compelled to include. If the creature you are submitting has color variances (for instance if you research a cow there might be a solid black cow, a white and black cow, and a brown cow) each appearance will have a different CTS code. If you wish you may collect all these CTS codes and add the additional ones here without writing up entirely new submissions.

==Example==
This example is from the page [[Celestial Bison]]. Notice that you don't have to fit your entry onto just one line. You can use multiple lines and include much of the wiki formatting for each entry if you wish. See the Introduction entry below.

<pre>{{Animal_Companion_Research
|Name_of_Creature= Celestial Bison
|CTS_Code= 1015
|Companion_Submission_Status= submitted
|Type_of_Creature= Animal
|Subtype_of_Creature= Bovine
|Author= [[Cairn_Mosslel]], ranger of [[Guild:ANRA|ANRA]]
|Image= Celestial bison3.JPG
|Most_Compatible_Fylgia= Dire Boar
|Most_Compatible_Notes= Dire boar is most suitable due to its strength and determination.
|Introduction= The Celestial Bison is a docile creature when observed calmly grazing from a distance. When worked
to a frenzy, few creatures (or inanimate objects for that matter) can hamper its momentum. The bison is a cow-ish
creature: brown thick hair with a large elongated head and horns. The front half of the bison is massive in
stature and girth. Physically, it is vaguely reminiscent of the minotaur. It is unknown if the bison has natural
origins on Avlis, but if it did, I suppose one might look for it in the grasslands of nations such as Kurathene,
Toran Sharda, Dubanat, and Brekon . The bison studied by this author is one that was summoned from another plane
(Celestial). It is quite trainable and receptive to a druid or ranger befriending it.

Physically, the bison's outstanding characteristics are its strength and endurance. Offensive momentum is the
animals best fighting tactic, lowering its huge head, large horns and thick neck and plowing through its foe.
It travels well, able to trot along for long distances without need of food and water.
|Feeding_Habits= From observation, the bison is a herbivore grazer. Grasses (in copious amounts) are its favored food.
|Disposition_Social_Habits= The bison appears to be quite social, and will work with its trainer. The author suspects
it would travel in herds, if there were a number of them. Its mating habits and other habits are relatively unknown.
|Habitat= Grassy plains.

|Subtype_of_Creature=
|Author= [[PCs:Malulani_jael_MacMurray|Malulani jael "MJ' MacMurray]]
|Image=
|Most_Compatible_Fylgia= Dire Badger
|Most_Compatible_Notes= The weasel is related to badgers, otters and ferrets.
|Least_Compatible_Fylgia= Dire Boar
|Least_Compatible_Notes= The boar is mostly a plant eater.
|Introduction= Weasels are small active predators, long a slender with short legs. Females are usually smaller then the males. Weasels usually have a red or brown upper coat and white bellies, some of them molt to a wholly white coat in winter.
|Feeding_Habits= They feed on small mammals, like, mice, rats, frogs, fish and small birds. Sometimes they will take poultry from farms or rabbits from commercial warrens.
|Disposition_Social_Habits= Weasels have a reputation for cleverness, quickness and guile. They generally hunt alone. Male weasels mate with many females and do not provide for the young.
|Habitat= I have observed them in Visimontium and Ferrell.
|Other_Notes= The weasel spirit teaches us to find ways to negotiate through difficult, tight conditions.

|Author= [[PCs:Deider#Deider_of_Pelar |Deider of Pelar]]
|Image= Sheep.png
|Most_Compatible_Fylgia= Dire Boar
|Most_Compatible_Notes= Like dire boars, sheep are hooved animals. They may be distantly related, since they both bear their weight on the 3rd and 4th toes of their hooves.
|Least_Compatible_Fylgia= Giant Spider
|Least_Compatible_Notes= Giant spiders are far removed from sheep in terms of type of animal.
|Introduction= Sheep are hooved animals kept as livestock. They are raised for their fleece, meat, and milk.
|Feeding_Habits= Sheep are herbivores, grazing on grasses and other short roughage. Similar to cows, they have four stomachs for digesting their food, and chew a cud.
|Disposition_Social_Habits= Sheep are very social animals and flock together. Flocks tend to huddle together and will follow a leader, making them easy to herd. Being a prey animal, sheep tend to flee from predators as opposed to defending their ground. Sheep are fairly vocal, and communicate with each other among the flock by using a variety of bleats, grunts, and other sounds.
|Habitat= It is thought that the wild ancestor to sheep was created by the goddess [[Berryn]] specifically for [[halfling]]s, the humanoid race she created, because they were native only to [[Ferrell]]. Though sheep were domesticated after [[horse]]s, [[pig]]s and [[cow]]s, they were so thoroughly domesticated by the hin that no wild sheep remain.
|Other_Notes= Sheep are occasionally used as pack animals and also mounts by halflings, if times are desperate enough.

|Author= [[PCs:Deider#Deider_of_Pelar |Deider of Pelar]]

|Most_Compatible_Fylgia= Hawk
|Most_Compatible_Notes= The seagull, though smaller, is a bird like the hawk.
|Least_Compatible_Fylgia= Giant Spider
|Least_Compatible_Notes= Giant spiders are far removed from seagulls in terms of type of animal.
|Introduction= Seagulls are small coastal birds, with heavy bodies, long wings, slightly long necks, and rounded tails. They have webbed feet like ducks, but longer legs, like a chicken. This allows them to excel at swimming, flying, and walking.
|Feeding_Habits= Seagulls will eat almost anything. Gulls have been seen eating fish, worms, insects, eggs, rats, frogs, lizards, fruits, seeds, carrion, and even other birds. They also employ many hunting styles, from catching insects in midair, to plunging into the water to snag fish, to foraging for worms and seeds on the ground. Seagulls are able to drink both salt and fresh water.
|Disposition_Social_Habits= Seagulls gather together into large colonies, usually on small islands that can be found off the coast of [[Negaria]]. Pairs mate for life, and colonies will usually return to the same spot yearly to mate, give birth, and raise their young.
|Habitat= Seagulls can be found primarily in coastal areas across Negaria, even as far north as [[Tyedu]]. They grow accustomed to sentient races, and can sometimes be found on docks or boats, hunting for food scraps.

|Name_of_Creature=Potbelly Pig

|CTS_Code=1029
|Type_of_Creature=Animal
|Subtype_of_Creature=Suidae
|Author=Rhigo Fellskin, [[PCs:Deider#Deider_of_Pelar |Deider of Pelar]]
|Image= Potbelly_pig.png
|Most_Compatible_Fylgia= Dire Boar
|Most_Compatible_Notes= The potbelly pig is one of many porcine species domesticated millennia ago from the wild [[boar]]. Although smaller and less ferocious than its wild cousin, it seems to share the boar’s determination and stubbornness.
|Least_Compatible_Fylgia= Hawk
|Least_Compatible_Notes= Potbelly pigs cannot fly (without the aid of magic!).
|Introduction= The potbelly pig is a stout domesticated creature living on small farmsteads, but often close to other wildlife which seems content as long as there is food nearby. Its fur can come in a variety of colors, but the potbelly pig seems darker than most pigs, and it retains its tusks albeit they do not protrude as much as those of a [[boar]]. Potbelly pigs are one of several miniature pig species, and are known for the low-hanging belly that is their namesake.
|Feeding_Habits= Will eat anything it seems. Like their larger [[pig]] cousins, potbellies are omnivores, and are often fed by their owners whatever domestic waste that humanoids and other animals will not consume.
|Disposition_Social_Habits= Like the larger pig species, potbelly pigs are intelligent, social creatures. Potbellies in particular have been bred to like humanoids, and are friendly to most and easy to befriend for a druid or a ranger. The potbelly pig is accustomed to people and wanders gleefully from stranger to stranger. He might lack the aggression of other pigs but have many resemblances as well you might find useful in a companion.
|Habitat= Farms, cultivated lands. It is thought that potbelly pigs were originally bred by the [[Romini]], presumably for their portability, and they can often be found in their camps.
|Other_Notes= The earliest record of potbelly pigs is in the oral histories of the Romini. They were once bred widely in [[M'Chek]] as an export food; though they are smaller than standard pigs and take longer to mature, their meat is considered more delicious. In the early years of The [[Kurathene]] Empire potbellies were a favored pet of the fiefdom nobles, but the fad died down within a century.

|Author= [[PCs:Deider#Deider_of_Pelar |Deider of Pelar]]

|Most_Compatible_Fylgia= Dire Boar
|Most_Compatible_Notes= Like dire boars, ponies are hooved animals and are fairly strong for their size.
|Least_Compatible_Fylgia= Giant Spider
|Least_Compatible_Notes= Giant spiders are far removed from ponies in terms of type of animal.
|Introduction= Ponies are miniature [[horse]]s. It is commonly thought that ponies were bred from domesticated horses, but this is not true. Wild ponies originated in the harsh, arid regions of [[Toran Shaarda]], and this is the only nation where herds of wild ponies can still be found. The [[dracon]] of Toran Shaarda quickly domesticated them as part of their desire for order, but found no real use for them. The dracon themselves are stronger than ponies, so they make poor work animals, and the dracon do not eat them, so they made little sense to keep as food livestock. So many ponies were traded by the dracon to the [[halfling]]s of neighboring [[Ferrell]], where they are used for riding, pulling plows and carts, etc.
|Feeding_Habits= Ponies, like horses, are herbivores, and eat grasses and grains.
|Disposition_Social_Habits= Like horses, wild ponies live together in herds. Domesticated ponies that live in groups will also fall into a herd structure.
|Habitat= In the wild ponies are found only in Toran Shaarda. Domesticated ponies are most common in Ferrell.
|Other_Notes= Like horses, wild ponies are prey animals to large carnivores such as [[lion]]s and other big cats. Domestic ponies are rarely if ever eaten.

Pegasus

{{Animal_Companion_Research
|Name_of_Creature= Pegasus
|Companion_Submission_Status= under review
|CTS_Code= 2030
|Type_of_Creature= Magical Beast
|Subtype_of_Creature= Equine
|Author= Dust, as recorded by Auryna Ak'hanrye (Dust is the chosen name of the character whose floaty name is "Opodomus" gamespy account Opodomus PM forum name Lucidic)
|Image= CTSPegasus.PNG
|Most_Compatible_Fylgia= Hawk
|Most_Compatible_Notes= The wings of the pegasus allow it to use its otherwise brutish hooves in very elegant ways. The fighting style is very hawk like.
|Least_Compatible_Fylgia= Dire Rat
|Least_Compatible_Notes= One would be hard pressed to find any way that the Pegasus is similar to a rat.
|Introduction= The Pegasus is a very rarely spotted magical beast that looks like an impossibly white horse with majestic matching white wings. Though they tend to remain far from civilization if you find one you are likely to find several.

They prefer a nomadic lifestyle away from anything that might be aggressive. Despite their natural avoidance of trouble, if pressed, they have surprisingly effective self defense. With the strong legs and hard hooves of a horse, plus the agility and three dimensional movement of the wings, their display of physical prowess is almost a performance. There is more to it than merely the physical. They have a spiritual connection to the air that grants them supernatural dexterity and avoidance.
|Feeding_Habits= The Pegasus has eating habits virtually identical to that of its more mundane relative, the horse. They graze in open plains, and since they have wings they can always fly to where the grasses are plentiful.
|Disposition_Social_Habits= Pegasus have a herd mentality, similar to regular horses. As they are far more rare, their herds are generally smaller and far less likely to be casually spotted.
|Habitat= Pegasus may be found just about anywhere far from major cities since they have the mobility of birds. Despite this, since there are so few of them and they prefer not to be seen it is not likely the casual traveler will see one in an entire lifetime.

|Introduction= A mule is the offspring of a male [[donkey]] and a female [[horse]]. They are often thought to be a good combination of the traits of their parents; mules are usually more patient, hardy and long-lived than horses, and less obstinate and more intelligent than donkeys. Mules themselves are sterile.
|Feeding_Habits= Mules are herbivores like their parent species, and usually eat grasses and grains.
|Disposition_Social_Habits= Mules do not form herds and are more solitary and independent like their donkey parent.
|Habitat= There are no wild mules; they are always the offspring of a forced mating of a horse and a donkey by humanoids. They are often kept by [[Romini]].
|Other_Notes= It is thought that the first mules were bred by the Romini, who brought horses from the plains of The [[Kurathene]] Empire south to what is now [[M'Chek]] to found the city of [[Mikona]]. During this time the Romini encountered donkeys for the first time, and bred them with horses to create a useful beast of burden. Mules are usually stronger than horses of the same size while being less stubborn than donkeys.

|Least_Compatible_Notes=
|Introduction= Pack Bears are the domesticated cousins to the Dire Cave Bears in M'Chek and various other areas such as Nightfang. They look identical to their wild cousins but often wear the tools of their trade, a multiple arrangement of bags and boxes held on by various leather straps. They're immense strength allows them to both carry huge loads of supplies, and still fight along side their keeper in case of an attack. While Pack animals are used all over Avlis, The Dwarf Bunar Detraken rents T'Nanshi Pack Bears to adventurers and crafters from the outskirts of Zvidureth.
|Feeding_Habits= Like all bears, The Pack-Bears are Omnivores, eating both meat as well as plant material. Having been tamed they rely more on to their keepers for food then foraging, However they do seem to retain enough instincts to fend for themselves if left behind. Common items viewed as 'treats' Include berries and honey.
|Disposition_Social_Habits= Having been domesticated they are rarely hostile unless they are threatened. Since raised around people they are usually gentle giants. Most pack bears are trained while they are still young and are often placed with a more seasoned bear to learn from as well as a trainer. While training and while 'off duty' pack bears are social, often seen two or three sharing a pen. While 'on the job' a pack bear looks more to its keeper for companionship, enjoying being talked to or fed treats while working. Most pack bears are trained to return to their 'home' pen upon release from a job, although there have been on occasion ones that just wait around the area they were released until they are either rescued or they pass away. Once trained as a pack bear it is very rare for a bear to go feral or return to the wild, This may have to so with their dependency on people while being raised or due to wild bears rejecting them due to the scent of people on them.
|Habitat= They are able to live comfortably in forest, plains, and rural areas. They are trained to live along side people.
