8 Animal Besties Who Were Way More Helpful Than You Deserved

[@outsidextra]

These faithful beasts were as loyal as they come... even when we didn't reeeeally do much to deserve their devotion. Enjoy! 🐶🐱🐦🐴

[@KiomonDuck]

Outside Xtra I love my armoured mudcrab in skyrim. Even that I don't deserve.

[@welshzecorgi7903]

As a Welsh Corgi, I think you all are too hard on yourselves.

[@alasdairmckay9538]

Outside Xtra Dave is not a stupid pet name

[@DrZaius3141]

You forgot about Barkspawn, the Mabari from Dragon Age: Origins. Well, Barkspawn wasn't his official name, but let's be realistic: it's his best name. He too was able to bring you presents, fight for you, and most importantly: "He's not mangy!"

[@patrickbrennan7438]

Outside Xtra Yoshi is the best 😁😀😊

[@GhengisJohn]

The minute you put them on a dog, they're doggles.

[@dallydaydream]

Happy that someone said it ^_^

[@raziele.1105]

GET IT RIGHT PEOPLE!!

[@ArcanaCheckPls]

Damn I was gonna say the same thing. :P

[@johnathonroberts8200]

But...but what if your doggy is actually a goggy!?

[@ryaninfanzon1160]

BOO!

[@zuralani1]

Hey, they gave the dog my name! "We gave him a stupid name," Thanks, I'll just go cry now.

[@678crazydave]

The feels is reals

[@OilGremlin6922]

it's a stupid name for a dog, it's a perfectly fine name for a human

[@daviddo658]

Yeah, I happen to like my name.

[@appropinquo3236]

when they said "we gave our dog a stupid name" i was thought it was going to be something really immature. But honestly how is Dave a stupid name for a dog?

[@jordanjohn3666]

I remember when I first got Frost the horse in Skyrim, he immediately took down a dragon by himself then returned to me as happy as could be

[@GamingNationShm]

Was that luck? How'd he manage to do it by himself?

[@jasyn197]

I was your 60th like;)

[@eddieozil21]

Thank you so much for telling me I could pet and feed senu! 😭

[@adamfallows-rye6374]

Eddie agreed

[@owendmartin]

Too bad there isn't anything nice I can do for the Hippos I keep inducting into the brotherhood.

[@randomusernameforchris3392]

Eddie I’ve spent around 75 hours in the game completed the main quest and still can’t remember if it explicitly tells you if or how you can pet Senu

[@dallydaydream]

Does that make it an easter egg? Or... heh... eagle egg? ...I'll show myself out.

[@hollylucianta6711]

@Genesis23OPB, fyi, in ancient times, trained raptors were always referred to as female, whether they were biologically or not :)

[@thecastawaydc]

It's cat Ellen...or as I call her, Ellen

[@DeludedOne]

A true Ellcat!

[@FrostyFrostySnow]

What if Ellen was actually a cat? Hmm seems familiar

[@ikijiigoku]

"Cat Ellen" is the most ADORABLE THING EVER! Just saying...

[@Sharkey-qi6te]

Agreed

[@catalinaargyriou8603]

she a got damn catgirl

[@mirandastewart3544]

Yes, cuz cats are adorable, duh.

[@ryangreen6255]

Agreed

[@spencergwin9454]

Saved this video for "Cat Ellen" only. Video's other contents are interesting and all but........

[@princesskoorime]

Two words: DAO's mabari! He was practically a third member of the Grey Wardens in 5 of the 6 origins, when you have to cure him of the blight!

[@rubygloommel8850]

In Haunting Ground, it's literally impossible to get the good ending without being nice to your dog

[@wafflejam9015]

Good

[@theotherkimmy6232]

That’s sad

[@terra_the_nightingale135]

Melissa Scholefield that’s perfect

[@umbreonhyperdream]

*GOOD*

[@caidalee1994]

Good

[@littleeevee6]

I'm sorry, how could you possibly forget Bloodwing? He was my favorite part of Borderlands, and deserves to be remembered after what Jack did to him!

[@phantomnite]

We didnt really need more reason to hate Jack but the fact he murdered bloodwing definitely helps motivate yoy

[@Znijik]

Bloodwing from Borderlands definitely deserved better for everything she did for us...

[@viprthered]

Znijik so true

[@madanotap6492]

Znijik Well Jack did give her a collar. Wasn't a very good collar though.

[@mortifidpenguin]

Shoot Jack an extra time for that

[@Egurius3]

adam paton Too soon :(

[@Jon7763]

Bloodwing was the best warrior in the whole franchise. Playing as Mordecai, I really grew to love her... rest in peace, you were truly the best

[@Fluxxdog]

Where the heck is Aggro on this list? He may not tear out testicles, but he'll go toe-to-hoof with the Colossi from Shadow of the Colossus.

[@NeoSaturos123]

Agro (not Aggro) is a mare though, or a girl as the game's director put it.

[@kaylachapin6043]

YES! Agro deserves more recognition for what they do you.

[@samothy4767]

Exactly that's what I thought too!

[@gridthexenomorph3658]

you force him to go into battle to giant monster and he kills himself near the end to save you, you bad owner

[@slicedegg6992]

I mean, Agro clearly knows she ain’t gonna do much against the colossi, but still helps you even if it means she might die

[@mandyg4144]

The horse from Shadow of The Colossus is pretty under appreciated, and the owl/beast from Far Cry Primal you have don’t get much love either.

[@rileyy31]

I WAS JUST THINKING AGRO SHOULD BE ON THIS LIST

[@redactedhaha9818]

In farcry primal the owl is OP cause you could take out camps with the frenzy bombs

[@ronnoccraddock6547]

Fry cry primal the 3 animals you need to hunt to control them

[@alexsolis9567]

Farcry 5

[@luislegood68]

What about ARK where you hit them and then befriend them

[@andymcp4752]

Horson wasnt on this list because John is *his* companion

[@PaxIesus]

This is Outside Xtra: They never met Horseson Wells...and I pity them so.

[@r.j.penfold]

The way you said it made me think of Narnia and now I'm sad.

[@recklessrex1905]

but Andy was part of this video and he knows Horsen better than anyone. Of course that also means he knows that the OP is correct - John is the companion.

[@DeludedOne]

Is Kippers his own companion then?

[@misterthegeoff9767]

Little did Kippers know that Whinnie Driver and Dr. Hooves were compiling a list of 7 Khajits Who Were No Help At All for their new youtube channel.

[@benny1789]

I was always too soft to store much of anything on Dogmeat, or let him get seriously hurt without a stimpack. I just love him too much

[@dailydoser1309]

Yeah I don't even have him follow me. I let him live in my best civilization.

[@mirandastewart3544]

That’s nice, of both, of you.

[@sarthakrevankar2828]

That was before we knew he was dogmeat, god of dogs, immortal and all seeing.

[@wallofnyc]

Cat Ellen attacking the subscribe orb made my day.

[@Maraxius]

Cat Ellen is adorable!

[@nguyenhuuvinh6492]

A little blast from the past but do you guys remember Trico from The Last Guardian? You know the giant, cat-like creature with tail that shoot out laser and adorable little wings that you totally gonna abandon at the end of the game. Or did you also forgot about him just like you forgot about Horseson, you heartless monsters!

[@DancesWithSloth]

Nguyen Huu Vinh - blast from the past? The Last Guardian came out just over a year ago.

[@raisa1918]

TRICO D:

[@nguyenhuuvinh6492]

106tekfreak Consider how nobody ever mention The Last Guardian anymore, it might have come out a decade ago.

[@Tualarec]

But this list is not "best animal pals", it's "animal pals we didn't deserve". I haven't played The Last Guardian, but I've seen it played and if I recall correctly, you find it wounded and trapped and you rescue it, and at least in the beginning you're both travelling together in the only direction you can. It's not like Trico's leaving its Trico stuff aside to help you on your quest.

[@nguyenhuuvinh6492]

Spoiler alert then, in the end you gonna abandon Trico to rejoin the rest of human society. Kind of like the Jungle Book but much worse since Trico is pretty much the last of its kind if I remember correctly.

[@AntwaineHorton]

Cat Ellen is hands down the cutest thing I've ever seen

[@brookelynn9461]

For real though

[@hotcrossbuns6585]

Seeing her try to keep a straight face is hilarious

[@mirandastewart3544]

I agree, meow.

[@sipulikorva8717]

Dog from Dragon Age Origins! Not only is he an amazing companion in fights, but also it is extremely amusing to watch him make friends with your other followers.

[@ZBWorth]

The mabari from Dragon Age Origins was amazing. loves you pretty much no matter what, and if you weren't a human noble this wasn't even your pet from youth, just a dog you helped out and it tracked you down to repay the life debt. THAT'S a best friend. Also the growling match between them and Sten. Perfection.

[@whoskaliya]

Me: I WANT ALL THESE GAMES JUST SO I CAN HAVE PETS IN GAMES

[@apathyguy8338]

Since update you can get pets inNo Mans Sky. You can tame, befriend and then harvest your pets for meat. Just like real life. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWfJl2lumb15qcU

[@billyalarie929]

i'm literally asking for the appropriate consoles just for these games, SOLELY BECAUSE *_FRICCIN EAGLE_* .

[@sethneville]

D-Dog from Metal Gear Solid 5. Not only will he murder all of your enemies for you, but he uses a knife to do it, does a cute flip afterwards, and all after he let you dress him up in weird semi-bondage gear.

[@robertwoods3871]

sethneville and there's an option that lets you pet him as much as you want.

[@farhaan3519]

Awww cat Ellen is adorbs

[@polarbearicequeen]

When you wake up at 4:00 in the morning with an old injury pain, and are in a bad mood until you come across this adorable video. And come on, cat Ellen is the most adorable thing in the universe.

[@tofu1394]

3:07 99.9% percent of Fable 2 players, including myself and my mom, always choose to resurrect our dog XD He's to precious. And spoiled by me XD

[@goldensentinel7715]

Thank God for the Knothole Island DLC.

[@ChristophBrinkmann]

I resurrect the thousands of workers, then find a reaaalllyyyy annoying or creepy NPC to follow to Knothole Island and doggo is returned.

[@dougsnyder2193]

My favorite are the animal companions in far cry primal especially the blood fang saber tooth and the black jaguar and the best part is you can pet them

[@mikeshogunlee]

What do you mean *IN* Far Cry Primal? That *IS* Far Cry Primal.

[@Haibing22]

And, different from other games, if you do not take care of your animals in Far Cry Primal, they turn on you and bite your face off, literally.

[@DancesWithSloth]

Except if you're a trophy hunter you have to kill and skin your own companion. Which made me... unusually guilty.

[@Greenwood4727]

Bears.... i mean BEARS..

[@maxadler4266]

How about Hewie from Haunting Grounds ? He's litterally essential to Fiona and ends up getting hurt for her. He deserves an entry on that list

[@pumpactioncrusader6035]

No one ever talks about _Meeko_ from *_Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim_* . Sure, Meeko does what most Stray Dogs found about the region do, but his backstory is what makes it all the more significant; Meeko is a poor Stray Dog who wanders around his owner's shack (marked as _"Meeko's Shack"_ in game) until he eventually encounters the _Dovahkiin_ . Once the two meet, he will lead them back to his shack, and introduce you to his owner: A Nordic man, lying dead on his cott. A journal lying next to the cott explains that the Nord most likely perished from Rockjoint, a deadly disease that can be contracted from prolonged exposure to Wolves, Cave Bears, and Foxes. Feeling sorry for Meeko, the Dovahkiin recruits the poor pupper to be their companion, slowly turning the timid dog into a happy, loyal friend. Spoiler: The Dovahkiin still treats Meeko as poorly as any other Stray Dog in Nirn, or as any incarnation of _Dogmeat_ .

[@KeyWiteWolf]

Speak for yourself friend. I treated Meeko like a king. He was more useful than any other follower I had. Unlike most humans (such as Lydia) who would get stuck if I decided to parkour over mountains or take "short-cuts", Meeko would always be either right behind me or catch up in a few moments. I never once lost him, despite losing human followers countless times. Plus he's a hell of a lot more reliable in combat, at least he was for me. So yeah, he was always treated well, and I usually put more effort into keeping him alive than my two-legged companions (though he needed it less often than they did too). Wish I could have made him immortal on console, but at least in my PC version I can set him to be unkillable. Cause he is a great doggo (okay, not as great as Dogmeat, but an acceptable second).

[@haravikk]

Actually the fact that the shack is named "Meeko's Shack" makes things very sinister, especially given that the Nord in it is lying dead of an easily preventable illness (seriously, he could just go to literally any shrine or healer). My theory is that Meeko terrorised the poor man and prevented him from leaving until he died, and that if you stick around Meeko long enough he will eventually turn on you as well… As a companion though Meeko is terrible; he breaks stealth, inflicts very little damage, can't take very much in return, is very easily killed by accident as a result, and his hitbox makes hitting him basically inevitable. I would argue that in this case the Dovakhiin doesn't deserve Meeko because nobody deserves that inflicted upon them 😏

[@MidniteSpectre]

thank you for letting me know about him. Now i will rescue him as soon as possible.

[@slicedegg6992]

Haravikk Well, Meeko can be very good in battle when you have a fork that can kill anyone with only one stab

[@davidcain7525]

He kept dying because I had a mod that adds more random encounters and he was killed by vampires

[@cunfuzzed]

i think we can all agree that Horeson Wells should be on this list. And Roach (The Witcher 3), DD (MGS:V), and Blade Wolf (MGR:R). And really you should count every single pokemon, considering what you do to them.

[@elliottk786]

Honestly, I was pretty impressed with Ellen’s cat impression at the end

[@chaoticbloodmage]

Mabari from Dragon Age! You can have full conversations with them!

[@tsstevensts]

"If that boy comes along he'll have to fight Darkspawn." Defensive bark. "I know he's too young that's my point."

[@OcarinaOfBurr]

Elvenmaleficar so true, Cole profile picture, so true

[@lordlordingtonofawesomeshire]

I believe you mean... Barkspawn.

[@erinlewis6901]

Inquisition horses negate fall damage. The true heroes of the game

[@MsCunningLinguistic]

I loooove DA mabari. I consistently call mine either Cat, because I'm a creative genius, or Dogmeat, because of course.

[@jamesanthony8438]

I'm rather fond of my Mabari Hound from "Dragon Age: Origins." He's a good dog!! :)

[@lavrentivs9891]

"Barkspawn" from Dragon Age. My favourite game dog.

[@anemonetears]

No Dragon Age's most wonderful doggos? Especially in DA:Origins, where your mabari loots for you, finds you gifts, fights for you, gets hurt for you, and is ultimately left behind by you to the camp because you need to get those friendship stats to maximum with everyone else.

[@Halo3machenima]

Lol, cat Ellen is adorable.

[@civilwildman]

I had a dog just as loyal as Dogmeat from my late teens up until last year. R.I.P., Ranger. You were the best Chocolate Lab a guy could have. No wonder I named my Mabari in Dragon Age 1 and 2 after you. :*(

[@keoki_kemp]

Tall Ellen is back!

[@ComanderScar]

And so is Cat Ellen!

[@seanthebluesheep]

Thank goodness. I was finding it difficult to tell apart regular Ellen and Bearded Ellen.

[@shane9091]

I still wish we got to see Stealthy Ellen and Evil Ellen in this video

[@kerryelvin9535]

Just check tall Ellen is not a mimic

[@keoki_kemp]

Yes can we really trust this tall Ellen? He doesn't look skinny enough... He could be a clone!

[@danes1802]

The dog/cat in Stardew Valley, heck, the horse too. The horse for making everything quicker, and the dog/cat for looking really cute on your farm and just being cute in general

[@joebergin782]

danes1802 OMG STARDEW VALLEY!!!! Such an underrated game

[@danes1802]

Joe Bergin • ikr!

[@NebulaDark]

Horse in Stardew valley is so handy to have. Definitly agreed for the commenter edition!

[@raisa1918]

I never fed that poor doggo. But it loves me still.

[@DodWilEcton]

Not games everyone played, but I’d like to see some recognition for the pets you get in Torchlight and, particularly, Torchlight 2. In both games they don’t just act as pack mules, but will also actually go to the shop for you to sell off all the equipment you’ve inevitably picked up but won’t use. In the second you can feed your pet special fish to make them turn into other cool creatures with special abilities!

[@skynet091287]

It's always the dogs... When playing Dragon Age Origins, i usually play mage, have friendly fire on, and have my Mabari with me on most of my journeys. Cue my first big fight (and all the ones coming up later), and i REALLY need my fireball to hit that group... I know my dog is in there, fighting all the things i want to kill, but i STILL hurl that searing hot ball of plasma into the middle of the frey, scorching everything, including my dog, who still loves me after the fight...

[@beverlyarcher3744]

skynet091287 stinks they took away the lovable mabri dog as a companion he had some good barks and whine comments

[@PoliticalAndTheologicalStudy]

skynet091287 Poor Barkspawn, always standing in the way of my mages aoe attacks.

[@cofeespear4992]

All hail Clifford we must not displease him

[@abdula99213]

Ellen: *starts crying* Dave: Don't worry *brings into random back room*

[@Jaryth14]

Are we really not going to mention that Mario gets Yoshi to stick out his tongue by PUNCHING HIM IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD?

[@nicholascross3557]

How about Dog, the Mabari hound from Dragon Age; Origins?

[@bryonyperecat5954]

Dog was easily one of my favourite companions in Origins and made me like some of the other companions better. (Also picking him as your champion is hilarious) It's too bad we didn't get to have one in Inquisition, though the horses were fun - and saved me from dying by drowning or falling more than once.

[@Yuki503]

You mean Barkspawn.

[@bryonyperecat5954]

Never called him that. In my games he was always "Dog". :)

[@sartr593]

I called him "StupidAlister"

[@JohnZ117]

Or Carver, the Mabari hound from Dragon Age 2?

[@scottmefford6917]

I love Ellen's channel specific tops. They're well tailored and look amazing on her.

[@ShinigamiAryanna]

Even though it may be a lesser known game, I think Hewie from Haunting Ground definitely deserves a mention here. Especially considering the fact that you literally can't progress to the true ending of the game without him. He's also a total badass! :)

[@neolithiumproduction]

Definitely props to good ol' Hewie.

[@silverwyhrecat5]

That game hits a lot of my fear nerves and I will probably never finish it. That being said, I love that dog. The only thing that makes that game not 100% scare the crap out of me.

[@Wynneception]

What about the Mabari Hound from Dragon Age: Origins (commonly named Barkspawn in fandom)?

[@Damien_Paxton]

9:49 Ammo doesn’t weigh anything in Fallout 4 16:26 I’m in love with “Cat Ellen”!

[@nightsky03]

you forgot Dog from Dragon age Origins where you can start with him or rescue him, best party member ever. Finds random kids, booze and assorted items

[@maru-zee]

There is one horse in Oblivion and Skyrim that gets all our love...nothing at all to do with those red eyes that promise an eternity in the void to those that displease. o.o'

[@jessedale4287]

Carouselkie my favorite horse in Skyrim is Arvak as ghost horse

[@matthewpallenik1407]

When you said Frosties, I thought you were talking about shoving fistfuls of delicious ice-cream-like treat in your mouth, instead of equally delicious Frosted Flakes

[@Jimberrley]

Matthew Pallenik hell ya Wendy's

[@random_dragon]

Sure, other horses are cool, but what about Shadowmare and Arvak? They're both, technically, immortal and you can't really lose either!

[@mclaindog1642]

Shadowmare technically isnt immortal he does have a max hp and can be killed for good. He isnt a essential npc so he wont revive if you do manage to damage him enough. But hes awfully close to being immortal because of high hp+regen.

[@random_dragon]

brendan mclain Really? I didn't know that! I thought Shadowmere just went back to that pool outside the brotherhood, if he died?

[@melrenee5416]

Shadowmere glitched our on my game and dissappeared, he never showed up again after he walked through a dragon skeleton and dissappeared

[@Fanimati0n]

Epona is the best horse ever, period. I actually named my horse Epona in BotW until I found out I could get the real Epona. The og Epona is invincible AND has maximum stats. THE best horse ever.

[@richisdisturbed]

Nothing's invincable in a Bethesda game. I approached Shadowmere for the first time upon completing the questline, ready to ride off on my steed of darkness, went to mount him, only for him to drop through the floor & disappear forever. Never got to ride him once, & this is why you need to play Bethesda titles on PC, mod makers are their bug fixers.

[@thilinalankapuradiggamaral7808]

Ok, cat Ellen is the end of the line for me. My heart, has melted.

[@CaitlinRC]

Suggestion that just came to mind: Sparx! From the Spyros games! You would be instantly destroyed without him yet what thanks does he get? A couple lame levels and minigames!

[@supremeleadersnoke2246]

You're right, sparks is the best. You got me thinking dragons though and I really can't go past ODAHVIING form skyrim. A frekin' dragon that will come almost instantly whenever you call, will help you fight anything, carries you to alduins lair and dlc depending can be ridden.

[@bthy384]

They should call it Redrun after i was done with it honestly

[@DarwinsTable]

I think you forgot the Mabari war hound from Dragon Age Origins. You command him to bite Darkspawns and get infected from their toxic blood as a result-how rewarding!

[@NimbleS]

I love the dog from The Bard's Tale. There were no words to express my joy when you met him later again

[@maxlittlewood]

No moose from Neir Automata? A tragedy has occurred today.

[@marhawkman303]

Those aren't really pets, more like wild animals you can annoy by riding them.

[@X3._.n3]

Ellen's teenager "WHAT" was too beautiful for this world

[@zeldaandnico8934]

I feel like trico from the last guardian should be on this list.Trico not only helps you defend yourself,but also trusts you enough to run into battle without command.Trico takes literal spears for you,and at the end of the game Trico also brings you back to your village even after being attacked by them.And even though you don’t want to,you force Trico to leave even though he was gonna stay because he is getting jabbed by Spears by the village men who think he is evil.Truly a good cat dog bird thingie ;-;

[@williamwhitehouse8741]

Also,hes adorable

[@badcactus819]

WHAT?!?! Where are the skyrim housecarls? I mean, sure, they are TECHNICALLY human, buuuuuuuuut..... come on!

[@PotatoSauce743]

fuck lydia, i never liked her and i dont know the names of the other housecarls

[@joshuawilliamson1482]

I accidently fus ro dahed them all off a cliff... sorry...

[@themudpit621]

You can have dogs in Skyrim too...

[@graysongerhart3428]

Ya there's a dog named meeko you can find in a shake near solitude he's really cute ^-^. but he has a very tragic backstory Rip meekos former owner.

[@themudpit621]

Thanks Grayson, I"ll look for Meeko. I found the "Stray Dog" and he followed me home. I also just managed to keep a horse alive for more than two days, and now Lydia's gone missing. She's jealous I guess!

[@jodijackierutherford754]

But what about Dragon age's mabari? The dog is so adorable!!!

[@NeoSaturos123]

But the protagonist didn't mistreat him in any way, when this video is about those animal companions whose loyalty we don't deserve.

[@MsCunningLinguistic]

Oooo, that's a good point! Yeah, we showed Dog the care and respect he deserved.

[@jodijackierutherford754]

True but I mean, he has to fight darkspawn even though he's already nearly died once from the darkspawn taint and if you're a noble, he comes from being a family pet to a killing machine basically. Same with DA2 mabari, I called mine Carvo lol, he was basically a house pet before your mother suggests taking him out and turning him into a fighting dog. Plus some of the companions are just rude. Damn you morrigan, he just wanted to give you a gift!

[@amberlink6807]

The Grunties in the original .hack game not only had good items for you to trade for, but they also carried you on their backs to find certain things. Perhaps the reason why they aren't given much praise is because they look a bit weird. Thank goodness the Grunties were redesigned to be much cuter in G.U.

[@anotherrandomcommenter4473]

Oh good. I'm not the only person that played that series.

[@terracannon876]

I would like to propose Argo and Trico from Shadow of the Colossus and The Last Guardian, respectively. ...OK, maybe Trico was in just as deep as we were, but (s)he was still an adorable birddoggo that loved us the more we interacted with it, but Argo definitely deserved better than our tunnel-vision protagonist. Few horses have charged into battle against two massively aggressive reptiles.

[@asongofcatsandramen3608]

Was just coming to suggest Argo... that horse was badass.

[@aardbei54]

Phalanx wasn't agressive

[@terracannon876]

It's why I was gonna type snakes but went instead to reptiles. I was thinking of the snake and turtle.

[@Murlak]

Trico deserves no love. he saved us a few times, yes, but putting up with his uncontrollable behavior is praise enough.

[@terracannon876]

Trico listened to me well enough and was really responsive, so he gets extra praise :D

[@revolver265]

I'm a DM. I needed a person that likes dogs, and I put Katherine Hayter into the game because I was thinking about Metal Gear at the same time Ellen made the comment about her surname. Thanks, OX.

[@GhengisJohn]

11:48 Strangest episode of Quantum Leap ever.

Well okay Al, who's that?" Al: "I believe that's him. All _around_ the castle..." Sam: "Oh Boy."

[@X3._.n3]

Senu: Your always hanging around with those cats now. You don't press triangle to me like you used to.

[@BigSmoke0889]

In "Zelda Breath Of The Wild" you can feed the dogs and they will reward you with a healing sound and they will also follow you in the area

[@littleshopofeldritchhorror6224]

If you feed them 3 meats (I think) they take you to a chest nearby

[@douglassedivy9296]

Two of my favorites: Sure, you mentioned the Horses, but what about Meeko the dog. You find him soon after find his deceased owner in a cabin off the main road. That dog followed me everywhere in Skyrim, even down to Blackreach where he helped me bite Falmer. Okay, I didn't bite the Falmer. Mostly. Loved the loyal dog so much that I'd restore save games if he died. Didn't do the same for my Housecarl Lydia. Also, how about the dog/cat in Torchlight. There's a beastie that will not only help you fight and carry your inventory back to town to sell things while you fought evil, but you could also feed it various odd fish you caught and change its shape. Dog? Cat? Spider? He's all that and more!

On the road between Solitude and Morthal, not too far from the Dragon Bridge, there'll be a nearly overgrown dirt path. If you're watching, you may see Meeko on the main road before he goes down the path. Follow the path to the shack and he'll be around, along with his deceased owner and his last journal entry. Poor dog, he has no one to take care of him now.

[@Papierflugzeug95]

Isn't Lydia essential anyway? Never got her to die, always made her tanky as fuck because I was sneaking around and had no use for a high end daedra armour.

[@douglassedivy9296]

Not sure, mostly was a joke. Companions are somewhat difficult to kill if you're careful. If they fall from being near death, the baddies will ignore them until your companions get up again. -However- I've found some will die if you fire off a misplaced arrow or fireball while they are kneeling on the ground, gasping for breath. So a lack of timing and bad battle position can kill a lot of companions. Generally, Meeko died because he got smacked down by the baddie just as I fired off an arrow or spell. He did this a lot. And I still loaded a save game.

Cat-Ellen is the adorableness I didn't know I needed today. Thank you for that!

[@Dabuddah]

How can you *not* include the Mabari from Dragon Age: Origins/DA2!? You *monsters!*

[@MsCunningLinguistic]

Cat! I love him so much! (I always named my dog Cat. For reasons.)

[@emilyblythe4618]

No honorable mention of Horson? He's been your trusty steed and companion throughout your travels, and you know you've put him through a lot.

[@marcusbreed5037]

Emily Bradley wrong channel they never played with him, so sad

[@emilyblythe4618]

Marcus Breed Fair point. I forgot that these are 2 separate channels. They've melted together in my mind.

[@Edward256]

Cat Ellen gave me a big smile! :D As for other loyal animals that could be abused, I'm thinking of those Lizard Doggos in Satisfactory. They got one pocket space where they can carry stuff they find out in the wilderness, and you can have them carry an enormous stack of radioactive barrels off a cliff.

[@Maryfs1]

Mounts in Dragon Age Inquisition. They can't die so players will jump them off cliffs I'm order to save themselves a little riding time.

[@cajunseasoning1846]

i didnt know they cant die, well i'd have to just test that out in my second playthrough.

What about the Mabari from Dragon Age: Origins?

[@prejudicedpizza2764]

What about Dog, the mabari from Dragon Age:Origins? Nobody deserves him. He's too sweet for Thedas.

We need Jane and Ellen for president and vice-president of the world XD

[@azradyn470]

Zerkiaz I'll vote for them, hell if I had the capital, I'd pay for their whole campaign!

[@incitossol]

Not sure if this counts but during my first play through of Digimon story cyber sleuth, I had this Machinedramon who had been with since the beginning. He had saved my bacon more times than I care to count, either delivering the final blow or tanking lethal damage. I had a legitimate crisis of conscious when I had to switch out with anyone else. Rest In Peace old friend.

[@marhawkman303]

Ah, Digimon, Dawn/Dusk's system was interesting since it let you take them up AND down at will. thus letting you change your team without getting new Digimon. The only real issue was how few top-tier digimon there were :/

[@Ashaasmith2]

The Mabari from Dragon Age Origins. Unless you’re a human noble who had him as a puppy, he basically saw you for 30 seconds while you put a mussel on him, and decided that’s totally who I should devote my doggy life to. He not only can fight enemies whether you’re alive or not, but he’s the only companion that will never hate you, no matter what you do, say, or give to him. He’s a badass best friend who will love you forever, and he should have been on this list.

[@rayfausset8458]

You forgot Agro from Shadow of the Collossus! He will run into battle with Wonder and takes him all across the world of Shadow of the Collossus.

peaches the big cat in farcry 5? an excellent stealth choice as sending her into battle did not alert enemies to your presence, thinking it was just a random animal attack.

I died from laughter at the end xD props to cat Ellen for not cracking up mid acting

[@panda_kebab]

Old old game- but the dog from 'The Bard's Tale' - 1st time I ever cried in a game due to watching my companion die. But then having him come back as a ghost dog (if you had the right map ) it was so awesome- plus then he could find treasure, fight and- as a ghost dog- NOT DIE AGAIN! Even tho 1st time doggo took on a freakin dragon by himself and died for you

[@g0os1e]

Mabari Hound from Dragon Age: Origins. He's friendly, completely loyal to you and can tear a Darkspawn in half. You thank him for his loyalty by dragging him around Ferelden in constant danger from Warewolves, elves, monsters, darkspawn and even DRAGONS. To top that off he has to put up with the constant sh*t he get's from Morrigan.

[@AquaswanOfficial]

ShanGoosen right?? wheres the love guys? (and btw, in danger of elves? humans and darkspawn have posed more of threat to my hof and precious pup than any elf had...)

Cute? I came to the comments to see who the fuck that plain as fuck girl is! I haven't watched an OX video in a while, & these presenters I've never seen before will ensure I never watch another. Make up was invented for girls like her, and she's so annoying. The dude is just boring af.

[@swanronson7254]

You forgot about Riley from CoD Ghosts. He attacks anything you point at, does recon for you, clears rooms, and a stealth section that I was too scared to finish because I was to scared to kill Riley.

[@MonsterPumpkin]

Now do the normal/human type companions you didnt deserve

[@mennograafmans1595]

Monster Pumpkin Like Natalya from Goldeneye? My favorite character. Al those people praising Elizabeth, but all she does is not dying and helping you during a fight.

[@alexl1178]

All followers from skyrim. Plus, mercenaries aren't paid enough to deal with our dragonborn shit. 500 gold? I delivered your letter to some woman you're trying to woo? Watch me turn into a werewolf and the eat the hearts of 100 bandits while simultaneously taking you to face catastrophic enemies. (And let's not even get started on how many times I "accidentally" blasted my companion into oblivion.)

[@Sableagle]

I accidentally blasted companions plenty of times in Oblivion. Genuine accidents, caused by them running right through me as if I wasn't even there while I was already in the process of chucking a lightning bolt, snowball or whatever other devastating attack was *meant* to take out the *Daedra* on which I *had* been sneaking up.

[@greggleblom]

Fable 2 was my first thought at seeing this video, and I can see that you too had the correct first thought. Ultimate good doggie. 🥰
