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;)

[@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!

[@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]

[@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

[@ikijiigoku]

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

[@Sharkey-qi6te]

Agreed

[@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

[@tako_shop]

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 :)

[@MsKawaiiOtaku]

The dog companion from Dragon Age Origins was adorable, loyal and all that jazz, but to be honest the true mvps who deserve a shout out are the animals you could call to aid you when playing as a ranger; wild spiders, wolves and bears fighting for you till death. I always tried to protect them as best I could.

[@austinbalzer9497]

[@tofu1394]

[@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.

[@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.

[@farhaan3519]

Awww cat Ellen is adorbs

[@wallofnyc]

Cat Ellen attacking the subscribe orb made my day.

[@Maraxius]

Cat Ellen is adorable!

[@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

[@alexsolis9567]

[@AngelBeatYunara]

Cat Ellen is the best Ellen!

[@Valandar2]

Nnnnnnngggggh... my heart... too cute... heart attack...

[@jaketheauroran]

What would the rest of the team be? Mike would be a dog - good natured and prepared to spring head-first into any situation. Luke would be a sparrow - full of energy and erratic. Andy would be an owl - wise and prepared to judge you. And Jane would be a human - because only humans are capable of such beautiful evil.

[@Jambobist]

Also human Ellen and milk penguin Ellen.

[@roguishpaladin]

I liked this video expressly because of Cat Ellen.

[@Valandar2]

I'd think Luke would be a Great Dane, actually, all gangly and goofy and easily spooked, but one of the nicest dogs you'd meet. Andy would be a Jack Russel Terrier (just picture it), Mike would be a Dalmation (he loves cars, of course), Ellen would specifically be either an English Fold or a Munchkin cat, and Jane would be the meanest yet calmest cat you've ever had your scalp laid open by surprise by.

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@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..

[@edwardhulse]

16:26 - 17:06 Cat Ellen is the most ADORABLE THING EVER! 😊😸

[@mirandastewart3544]

I agree.

[@JowoHD]

I had a giant cat companion mod for Fallout 4 who broke my game so i couldn't talk with anyone, but it still broke my heart to say goodbye to him. RIP, I'll remember you Rafe :'(

[@ervindurgaj2456]

"There are no giant, irradiated scorpions in Albion" Tell that to the Witchwood Arena from Fable 1

[@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.

[@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.

[@elleevans9924]

We’re missing two very important doggies here - your dog from Dragon Age: Origins and the wolf from Resident Evil 4. I’d be dead without either of them, both inside and out.

[@alfridwein3449]

The Mabari Hound from Dragon Age, the only party member that doesn't judge you for your actions, regardless of how heinous.

[@CaitlinRC]

I've only been playing AC Origins for two weeks and Senu is my best friend. She always turns up when I need her :) Mainly when I'm failing horribly at combat.

[@randomusernameforchris3392]

Caitlin RC It took me a while to get. Despite completely finishing the main quest and multiple hours in I’ve still not utilised the mechanics properly. Especially jarring when going back to the previous titles - though you can, at least change the control scheme

[@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]

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. :*(

[@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.

[@BADCompanySarge]

Shadowmere. That is all.

[@BillyJoe1305]

Optimist Prime Shadowmere can be killed in Skyrim. He's not invincible he just has really really high Regen. Get him at a low enough level and let him tank a dragon alone, he might die. He is invincible in Oblivion though.

[@exemplar7205]

to be fair yes he can die but then you can just go back to the pool outside the sanctuary and pick him back up

[@TheTendermen]

While Shadowmere is cool, I rather Arvak the skeleton horse, summon in an instants, if he dies summon, if he is lost summon. Plus he is a skeleton undead horse from oblivion.

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!

I always save my dog in Fable 2, always

[@isocryd]

Wasn't the spire built by criminals anyway?

[@deathbykonami5487]

isocryd no it was an ancient device built by the Archons of the Old Kingdom to manipulate all the will energy in the world Only problem was the first two people who tried to use it wished for the end of the world, the Archon succeeded by the way, which is why the old kingdom is no more

[@deathbykonami5487]

Kellen Woods respect, the people sacrificed to build the spire weren't forced to go to the spire, they went to the spire out of greed

[@acidroofproductions9378]

I always tell myself that I had that dog since I was a child, and he's old and likely to die soon. So I don't feel AS guilty when I don't save him.

[@jjgaming8432]

ALWAYS

What about your mabari hound in Dragon Age: Origins? Ö

Right?

I love that Mario does a little celebratory jump at 4:44 after discarding Yoshi into the abyss to make that leap he misjudged

[@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.

[@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."

I believe you mean... Barkspawn.

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.

[@jacobhake342]

Oh my goodness, cat-Ellen was absolutely adorable!!

[@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.

[@Omiiee]

note to self: don't give luke any looks when in distress

[@sloanemactire8780]

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

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

What about the mabari from Dragon Age Origins?

[@NeoSaturos123]

His cannon name is Barkspawn, by the way.

[@snugflag]

I love how the character still yays even after finding a condom

Well considering the number of STDs one character can surprinsigly get at the same time...

Jeffrey Hartanto Budiman He's relieved it's still in the wrapper.

[@3vercent]

Can't believe they didn't mention the pets from Torchlight 2, who not only helped you fight giant monsters and stuff, and carried all your extra stuff, but would regularly travel to towns, alone, through monster infested hordes and somehow sell your stuff to traders and buy potions and scrolls you requested

[@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.

[@TravTravRA]

That's a great way to use an i card. "Who ever said cats aren't useful?" (iCard comes in) "... Oh. Us."

[@echoduskfallen]

What about Hunter pets from WoW?? You use some sort of mind control powers on them, and they will follow you ANYWHERE without giving a second though, often dying to protect you. (Same thing could be said with Warlock demons and DK ghouls too.)

[@krystalskye949]

that "Mind control" is called "Taming." And in the original version of the game, you had to carry their favourite foods with you (taking up valuable inventory space) so you could feed them, in order to prevent them from getting angry at you and abandoning you. You also couldn't keep more than one with you at a time.

[@littleshopofeldritchhorror6224]

@@krystalskye949 I remember those days. Along with carrying arrows/ammo which took up a bag space

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!
