Editing Companions

{{Quote|My heart pounded with anticipation of the fame and glory that lay before me. But first I would need to hire some assistance...}}

'''Companions''' or '''Recruitable Characters''' will join your party in various ways, most commonly by recruiting them in [[Paris Hub|Paris]] or in native [[village]]s. Your party can have a maximum of 4 companions in addition to your [[Leader]]; any extra characters must be dismissed before moving. (Some special temporary companions are an exception to this.)

__TOC__
''Note: In all the tables below, Health and Dice face colors are for start Level 1, and "Bonus X, +Y/promotion" means that "Bonus" starts at X at Level 1 and increases by Y for each additional level from 2 onward.''

== Tavern and Club Recruits ==

'''Tavern and Club Recruits''' can be recruited in the [[Paris]] hub in-between treks, or occasionaly found in other locations.

These characters can be obtained in:
* [[Leader]]-specific [[starting parties]] (except Missionary)

== Islanders Recruits ==

'''Islanders Recruits''' can be recruited by request to the Ruler of a [[Village]]. They can also join your party from certain special locations, encounters or random events.

They can be obtained in:
* [[Leader]]-specific [[starting parties]]
* [[Native Villages]]
* [[Exposition Recruiter]]
* [[Ice Cave]]s
''(Note: the [[Salamander Prince]] can only be obtained in the [[Mole Village]] of the [[Act II]] story expedition.)''

=== Humans ===
Human natives are found in [[Island types#Drylands|Drylands]], [[Island types#Jungle|Jungle]] and [[Island types#Prehistoric|Prehistoric]] maps. Some also appear as starting companions of certain Leaders.

=== Salamanders ===
Salamander natives are found in [[Island types#Archipelago|Archipelago]] maps. Most of them benefit from reduced [[Shallow Water|Water]] and [[Swamps]] travel costs.

|}

=== Mole People ===
Mole People natives are found in [[Island types#Caverns|Caverns]] maps. They are purchased as mercenaries from [[Mole Outpost]]s, not Villages. Mole villages instead offer non-Mole characters (Europeans, Human Natives and Salamanders) for purchase.

== Animal Recruits ==

'''Animal Recruits''' are non-[[humanoid]] trek members. They take up a character slot as normal but don't have a {{Loyalty}} attribute, and have a single special [[Equipment]] slot instead of Hand and Body slots. Unlike with humanoids, you can recruit several animals of the same class in your party.

=== Pack Animals ===
{{Pack Animal|Pack Animals}} are often selected for their ability to be ridden and/or their increased carrying {{Capacity}}. They have a combined Beast/Pack Animal equipment slot. One pack animal per party can be {{mounted}} by your Leader using a [[Saddle]] (generally occupying 1 Capacity) to reduce travel costs and activate the mount's second die.

They can be obtained in:
* [[Leader]]-specific [[starting parties]] (Donkey, Horse)
* [[Tavern]] (Donkey)
* [[Villages]] (Donkey/Horse/Oryx in [[Island types#Drylands|Drylands]]/[[Island types#Jungle|Jungle]], Giant Tortoise in [[Island types#Archipelago|Archipelago]]s, Parasaurolophus in [[Island types#Prehistoric|Prehistoric]] lands)
* Hatched and grown from [[Mysterious Egg]]s (Giant Tortoise, Parasaurolophus, Raptor, Stygimoloch)
* Tamed [[Prey Animals]] (Oryx)
* Rare variants of [[Waterfall/Oasis]] (Red Elk)

|}

=== Beasts ===
{{Beast|Beasts}} are smaller animals that cannot be ridden or use larger equipment. They provide a second die without requiring anything to activate it, and also a bonus die for specified non-Combat challenges. However they have a Beast equipment slot only, and cannot equip Pack Animal-specific items such as [[Saddle]]s (unless they are also Pack Animals, such as the [[Raptor]]).
