COMPANIONS

Companion! Can be equipped to a Rixixi and grant that Rixixi its ability. Companions can be equipped, unequipped, and moved between Rixixi at will with no ill effect.

Companions are assorted critters - ranging between pets to familiars to friends - that can accompany your Rixixi on their travels!

Your Rixixi can equip up to 3 Companions maximum. Companions can be added or removed from a Rixixi with no ill effect (and placed back in your inventory if removed), so feel free to switch out Companions if you like!

Some companions can use certain items! These will be listed under an Applicable Items section if the companion in question has any.

Companion effects with the same effect won't stack, but may stack with items unless otherwise stated in the item's description! Companions that share some effects but not all can roll the effects that aren't shared perfectly fine - it's just that the shared effect won't roll twice.

If you have a voucher to redeem for one free companion from a barter or event, you can comment on the Player Inventories journal (reply to the Manual Item Deposits thread) to turn it in! Let us know what companion you would like and we'll add it to your inventory and mark the ticket as used! If you're not sure if you have a companion voucher to redeem, the tracker is here!


ANAREIZH'S PATRON


Anareizh's Patron Companion
Doctor Noodle.

A species of viper that originated in Anareizh's shrine. With a relaxed, curious temperament, they tend to make good companions, and naturally tend towards healing magic.

Companion Ability:
Anareizh's Patron: When equipped to a Rixixi, Anareizh's Patron can cure one Temporary Condition once a week! Use this ability in the Player Inventories journal under "Use An Item" to activate, and link the Ixi with this companion! Anareizh's Patrons are not limited to curing their companion Ixi, and can heal other users' Ixi with that player's permission!
This counts as curing a temporary condition with items for Medic specialty.

Anareizh's Patron can be reskinnned with free options available to all members as well as using the PSD to recolor the base and make a custom reskin:

Template Here!

Skin: Jararaca
Skin: Constellation
Skin: Albinistic | Skin: Cold

Custom reskins don't have to necessarily obey canon Anareizh's Patron coloration, but if you'd like yours to, most of Anareizh's Patrons have blue scales, real snake patterns, or celestial patterns.


BARGHEST


Barghest Companion
A mythical canine associated with death and ill omens, the Barghest is a fierce and powerful hunter. With a fearsome bark that does not rival its bite, it would take quite the impressive individual to tame this specter.

Companion Ability:
Barghest: Adds a bonus +50 Attack and +50 Defense in Hunting. (OVERRIDES Radiation Sickness if present!)

When entering Legendary Hunting with a party of 3 or Less Rixixi, a Barghest can count as an additional Rixixi for the party - Barghests have a stat pool of 150/150/100/100 for Legendary Hunting. This bonus cannot come into play if there are 4 Ixi in the party already.

Barghests can be reskinnned with free options available to all members as well as using the PSD to recolor the base and make a custom reskin:

Template Here!

Skin: Cŵn Annwn
Skin: Black and Tan

Custom reskins don't have to necessarily obey canon Barghest coloration - the mythical creature being sourced is a black dog, but the existing skins include a black and tan hound and a white mythical dog (Cŵn Annwn). Feel free to reference any dog you want, or just create a sparkledog. Have fun.


Leyline Barghest Companion

A common threat in the Leyline, these canines hunt the living on sight. Hounds can often be heard distantly in the leyline when a new mortal enters, and their barks can be heard following a mortal who escapes - even when the Barghest itself no longer follows. They hunt in packs, and while they have no teeth of their own to bite with, their claws have been rumored to leave wounds that never truly heal.

Most living that can pass through the Leyline unscathed and even some dead find themselves quietly stalked by packs of Leyline Barghest, the hounds' eyes untrusting and ever watching. While the hounds' gaze is unnerving, these beings do often find themselves aided by the hounds if they wind up in danger. The hounds have adopted them into the pack.

Companion Ability:
As they are closely related to the Barghest Companion, Leyline Barghests have the original Barghest skill and an additional Leyline-related skill.

Leyline Barghest: Adds a bonus +50 Attack and +50 Defense in Hunting. (OVERRIDES Radiation Sickness if present!)

When entering Legendary Hunting with a party of 3 or Less Rixixi, a Barghest can count as an additional Rixixi for the party - Barghests have a stat pool of 150/150/100/100 for Legendary Hunting. This bonus cannot come into play if there are 4 Ixi in the party already.

Leyline Barghest (Extra Skill): When equipped to a living Rixixi, treats that Rixixi as a Ghost in all ways except for genetics.

Leyline Barghests can be reskinnned with free options available to all members as well as using the PSD to recolor the base and make a custom reskin:

Template Here!

Skin: Faceless
Skin: Cŵn Annwn | Skin: Faceless Cŵn Annwn
Skin: Borzoi | Skin: Faceless Borzoi
Mask optional for custom skins!

Custom reskins don't have to necessarily obey canon Leyline Barghest coloration (feel free to make a sparkledog!), but if you'd like yours to, most Leyline Barghests have the coloration of actual dogs - typically black dogs or sighthounds. Their eyes often glow. Their masks can appear in any color, with any markings.


COULER


Couler Companion
The primary sapient species of the Couloir, extremophiles having adapted to an extreme environment. Coulers are typically considered fauna, but are actually made up of plant matter, and perform photosynthesis and chemosynthesis (albeit when they need to move long distances, they tend to consume meat). Coulers are highly intelligent, and while they tend to be wary of strangers due to their harsh world, they help each other - how else are you going to survive and thrive?

Companion Ability:
Couler: If the sun is depicted or described as being out in the art for the roll, This companion can add on an entire additional roll (including seasonal item returns) to its companion Rixixi whenever the Rixixi it is attached to is depicted in any loot-dropping activity! The additional roll will be rolled with base stats rather than the Rixixi's stats, as the Couler is picking up the items rather than the Rixixi.

Coulers can be reskinnned with free options available to all members as well as using the PSD to recolor the base and make a custom reskin:

Template Here!

Skin: Green
Skin: Blue

Custom reskins don't have to necessarily obey canon Couler coloration, but if you'd like yours to, most creatures in the Couloir are made up of dark foliage of any tint.

Event-Exclusive: Cannot be obtained via events or barters that allow "any companion" to be obtained unless otherwise stated.
The Bombardier is a dragon-like gigafauna from the Couloir capable of breathing fire. It does this by bursting peppers full of caustic chemicals that grow in its mouth, then blasting gases through the spray of chemicals. The chemical combination causes a fire that sprays forward - from the air, of course, because the Bombardier can and does fly.

Companion Ability:
Bombardier: Makes the boost from superhot peppers (Bhut Jolokia, Magmatic Spitfire, Incendiary Witchcraft, and Wall Crawler) permanent.

Legendary Companion Second Ability:
Bombardier: Fire-Breather: Increases elemental attacks' damage by 150%. Counts for null and chasm as well as regular radiation.

Companion Ability:
Crow: 15% chance of dodging any attack in combat through sheer intimidation. Passive, does not count as equipment.

Legendary Companion Second Ability:

LEGENDARY Companion: A Rixixi may only have one Legendary Companion at a time.
Event-Exclusive: Cannot be obtained via events or barters that allow "any companion" to be obtained unless otherwise stated.

The Deathtrap is a gigafauna from the Couloir. The beast escaped through a massive crack in the Leyline and Chasm, destroying its body in the process. To rebuild, it stole souls from the Leyline, taking root deep below the Necropolis to regrow and become whole again. Being half-dead, it eats not only meat but also spirits.

Much like the creatures of the Leyline, the Deathtrap lacks a face, instead having a strange, dull mockery of a sun for a head.

Companion Ability:
Deathtrap: Doubles the Rixixi companion's contributions to raids.

Legendary Companion Second Ability:
Deathtrap: Suneater: Automatically and passively counters 10% of any elemental radiation damage used in combat.

Template Here!

Event-Exclusive: Cannot be obtained via events or barters that allow "any companion" to be obtained unless otherwise stated.

The Graverobber is a megafauna from the Couloir. It is unknown how the creature got out of the Desolated World, but doing so cost it a great deal of energy. It lives in graveyards, now digging through the ground for old flesh with its massive head.

Companion Ability:
Graverobber:50% chance of dropping a Death-Charged Fogshard in any loot-dropping activity.

Legendary Companion Second Ability:
Graverobber: Soft Earth: Can be used during combat and will not take up the Rixixi's combat turn (Soft Earth can be used as an extra skill during combat).

Snowman Companion
LEGENDARY Companion: A Rixixi may only have one Legendary Companion at a time.
Event-Exclusive: Cannot be obtained via events or barters that allow "any companion" to be obtained unless otherwise stated.

The Snowman is a reclusive megafauna from the Couloir. Breaching in the mountains in winter harmed it, damaging its foliage. It is sick, and it is angry, and it wants to do something about it. Its breach location granted it the nickname "snowman", and it's clear that it understands mockery.

Companion Ability:
Snowman: Blocks Temporary Conditions that can be considered 'exposure to the elements'. (Currently Cursed, Radiation Poisoning, and Vent Smog)

Legendary Companion Second Ability:
Snowman: Frostbite: Any Damage Over Time dealt by the companion Rixixi is doubled.

LEGENDARY Companion: A Rixixi may only have one Legendary Companion at a time.
Event-Exclusive: Cannot be obtained via events or barters that allow "any companion" to be obtained unless otherwise stated.

The Trophy is slow-moving and unlikely to be spurred into fighting in most scenarios. Unlike most Couloir gigafauna, it is typically content with photosynthesis and chemosynthesis. However, the Trophy is fiercely protective of its territory, and when branching out into new territory, it is quick to defend land that it sees as newly claimed.

Companion Ability:
Trophy: Adds 5 Seasonal Currency on top of the regular currency drop. This applies to every currency drop in the roll - main roll is affected, as are bonuses such as tail bags and pack cats.

Legendary Companion Second Ability:

The Warren is a prey animal and has a mind filled with terror. Its leaves small animals reaching and searching for danger at all times, the tree-like amalgamation can see in all directions at once. Despite being a towering tree - standing out in a forest due not only to its strange leaves but to its size - it can move incredibly fast, and is capable of trampling smaller beings, whether intentionally or not.

Companion Ability:

Legendary Companion Second Ability:
Warren: There's A Fog Along The Horizon: 65% chance to dodge the enemy's next 3 moves, increased critical chance by 2 during duration of the move due to stealth. Cannot be used when already active. 40% chance to fail if used in succession. Must be activated to use, taking up a combat turn.

Warreneater Companion
LEGENDARY Companion: A Rixixi may only have one Legendary Companion at a time.
Event-Exclusive: Cannot be obtained via events or barters that allow "any companion" to be obtained unless otherwise stated.

This gigafauna from the Couloir is an ambush predator, and an effective one. The Warreneater was named on Sxriix for its ability to completely take over and destroy a system of burrows, nestling in and waiting for movement above. Despite its massive size, this beast can wait days without moving as long as its facial or tail leaves are exposed to sunlight or certain chemicals - it has both the ability of photosynthesis and chemosynthesis.

Companion Ability:
Warreneater: Doubles hunting rolls.

Legendary Companion Second Ability:
Warreneater: Run Rabbit Run: If the Rixixi Companion fails a legendary hunt, the hunt will reroll as a Misc. Land Animal hunting at base stats.

Specified item must be one of the already-available items for the roll. If no item is listed or the listed item is incompatable with the roll, this part of Leaftail Gecko's skill will not be rolled.

In Karma Events, +5 Positive or Negative Karma will be added to the Rixixi with this companion upon activation of this skill (please list whether you want positive or negative karma!) Pumpkin Spice Apple Cider cannot be used on this Rixixi as it would have the same effect.

The Fallen Leaftail Gecko can be reskinnned with free options available to all members as well as using the PSD to recolor the base and make a custom reskin:

Template Here!

Skin: Pumpkin Vine
Skin: Dry Leaves

Custom reskins don't have to necessarily obey canon Fallen Leaftail Gecko coloration, but if you'd like yours to, most Fallen Leaftail Geckos mimic leaves and miscellaneous plant life commonly seen in the autumn, some having entirely leaf-like bodies, some having leaf-like tails and more gourd-like coloring on their bodies for instance.

KAURPHYT RAVEN

Leyline Kaurphyt Companion

Taller and longer than the average Kaurphyt Raven, Leyline Kaurphyts are shaped more like wading birds than ravens. They have a passive demeanor, standing by and watching the events of the leyline. They do retain the magic of their Nskanetian counterparts, and while they can defend themselves in emergencies, they most often use their magic for healing and glamours.

Companion Ability:
Leyline Kaurphyt: When equipped to a Rixixi, the Leyline Kaurphyt can cure one Temporary Condition once a week! Use this ability in the Player Inventories journal under "Use An Item" to activate, and link the Ixi with this companion!

Bioluminescent markings are not uncommon. Their masks can be any color.


KELLAS CAT


Kellas Cat Companion
Originally thought to be a myth, folklore, or fairy tale, it was eventually discovered that these cats were real animals on earth, a hybrid between Scottish Wildcats and domestic felines.

Considering that faeries do pass through the Chasm, one should take care when bringing a new cat home and note that all fairy tales may not have been debunked.

Companion Ability:

KYAINE


Kyaine Companion
LEGENDARY Companion: A Rixixi may only have one Legendary Companion at a time.
Native to Nskanetis, Kyaine are massive saurian creatures with an inherent anti-magic field around them and an abundance of teeth. They're incredibly aggressive, but some reports show that they are also incredibly intelligent - if you've gotten on one's good side, you've obtained a powerful ally.

However, any O'urtnx NPCs cannot assist this Rixixi.

Legendary Companion Second Ability:
Kyaine: Null Field: Radiation skills other than Null Radiation cannot be used by opponents or companion Rixixi.

Kyaine can be reskinnned with the PSD to recolor the base and make a custom reskin:

Leyline Mymber

Despite their intimidating faces and affiliation with Death, Leyline Mymbers are just as peaceful as most Mymbers are. They're perfectly content to spend their days swimming slowly around.

Skin: Hadopelagic
Skin: Abyssopelagic

Custom reskins don't have to necessarily obey canon Leyline Mymber coloration, but if you'd like yours to, most Leyline Mymbers can have patterning and texturing similar to deep sea fish, and also often have bright blues (the color of the leylines) in their coloration.


MymbMumbles Lookalike - 'Jim' and MymbMumbles Lookalike - 'Jinn'
Event-Exclusive: Cannot be obtained via events or barters that allow "any companion" to be obtained unless otherwise stated.

Knows they look just like Jim from that Chasm TV show. Will take it as a compliment./Has definitely heard they look like MymbMumbles' Jinn before, yes. Thinks it's funny.

Both companions have the same ability: Companion Ability:
MymbMumbles Lookalike: If pictured in an activity with another Rixixi with a MymbMumbles Lookalike, both Rixixi have their stats doubled. If pictured in a Training Mode image with another Rixixi with a MymbMumbles Lookalike, the EXP count is doubled for those Rixixi. This does work if there are more than two Rixixi in one image with MymbMumbles Lookalikes, but Rixixi in the image without MymbMumbles Lookalikes will not have the doubled stats/EXP effect!

Additionally, has the full Mymber companion ability!
Counts as a Mymber in any scenarios that specifically require one, such as needing a tutor for the Mymber Tome. Snared Mymbers are Mymbers with an extra skill.
Chasm Companion - Immune to Zoonotic radiation sickness types!


Snared Mymber

I take it back, Jim, we should not be plants.
Snared Mymbers - Mymbers hybridized with Sanguine Snares through some way or another - are typically more aggressive than their non-plant Mymber counterparts due to their Snare instincts. While this often makes them come across as more cynical and hard to get close to in social situations, these Mymbers are often very successful hunters and protectors, and if they find their place in a village, many often appreciate them as a guard or bouncer type.

Companion Ability:
Snared Mymber: Can assist Rixixi companion in combat with the following skill:
  • Ensnare: Stuns enemy for one round, and inflicts repeat damage for 2-5 rounds. Drains HP and grants half of inflicted damage to companion Rixixi. [attack strength = 4d20/2] Cannot be used when already active. 50% chance to fail if used in succession.
Snared Mymber skill, if used, takes the place of the Ixi's skill for this combat turn (the Ixi's turn is used instructing the Mymber).
Additionally, has the full Mymber companion ability!
Counts as a Mymber in any scenarios that specifically require one, such as needing a tutor for the Mymber Tome. Snared Mymbers are Mymbers with an extra skill.
Chasm Companion - Immune to Zoonotic radiation sickness types!
Snared Mymbers can be reskinnned with free options available to all members as well as using the PSD to recolor the base and make a custom reskin:

Template Here!

Skin: Rafflesia
Skin: Prairie-Fire

Custom reskins don't have to necessarily obey canon Snared Mymber coloration, but if you'd like yours to, most Snared Mymbers can have patterning and texturing similar to parasitic and carnivorous plants, along with mammalian skin tones like typical Mymbers.


NSKANETIAN MESSENGERBIRD


Spring's Messengerbird Companion
Event-Exclusive: Cannot be obtained via events or barters that allow "any companion" to be obtained unless otherwise stated.
A spirit of spring taking on the form of a Nskanetian songbird. Excellent at mimicry.

Companion Ability:
Spring's Messengerbird: Due to Advanced Bird Communication, if pictured with another Rixixi with a Spring's Messengerbird in any loot-dropping activity, the Rixixi it is attached to gets an additional roll (rolled at base stats rather than the Rixixi's stats)! The additional roll is only available to Rixixi in the activity piece with Spring's Messengerbird Companions.

Also acts as a version of the Floral Tea boon that can be activated on any roll the attached Rixixi is in: Use to reroll all items returned in a loot-dropping activity roll. You can choose to keep the reroll OR the original roll! (To use, reply to the desired roll that you wish to reroll stating that you're using the Spring Messengerbird's effect on it) Floral Tea cannot be used on this Rixixi as it would have the same effect.

The Spring's Messengerbird can be reskinnned with free options available to all members as well as using the PSD to recolor the base and make a custom reskin:

Template Here!

Skin: Bird's Song
Aezaia's Flock
Parker's Rescue

Custom reskins don't have to necessarily obey canon Sping's Messengerbird coloration, but if you'd like yours to, most Nskanetian Messengerbirds are fairly colorful, with Spring's Messengerbirds canonically being able to have unusual markings for birds due to being seasonal spirit versions of the creature.

Applicable Items:
-1x Seasonal Currency - Apply during an activity roll to activate the item's effect.


PACK CAT


Pack Cat Companion
A friend that can chat you up on a long trek and hold your goods as well! This cute and soft critter may be made out of fabric, but they're very much alive - and lively!

Companion Ability:
Pack Cat Companion: This companion can add on an entire additional roll (including seasonal item returns) to its companion Rixixi whenever the Rixixi it is attached to is depicted in an exploration or mining roll! The additional roll will be rolled with base stats rather than the Rixixi's stats, as the Pack Cat is picking up the items rather than the Rixixi.

Pack Cats can be reskinnned with the PSD to recolor the base and make a custom reskin:

Template Here!

Applicable Items:
-1x Seasonal Currency - Apply during an activity roll to activate the item's effect.

RACHA


Caverndrake Companion
LEGENDARY Companion: A Rixixi may only have one Legendary Companion at a time.
Event-Exclusive: Cannot be obtained via events or barters that allow "any companion" to be obtained unless otherwise stated.
Caverndrakes have the deep, alarm-like voice and concentrated light-spitting ability of their cousins in the sky, along with the ability to fly short to moderate distances, though these Tunneldrake relatives are adapted more to life in large cave systems.

Two-headed Caverndrakes are not terribly uncommon, and have the ability to decrease the intensity of their light blasts by breathing them from both mouths at once.

Companion Ability:
Caverndrake: Adds a bonus +100 Defense in Hunting and Mining.
If the Rixixi has a Tunneldrake equipped, the Tunneldrake's return is doubled.

Legendary Companion Second Ability:
Caverndrake: Death From Below: When Legendary Hunting, adds 15% Success chance to entire party. Adds Pet Treat effect to roll (35% chance of luring a random companion). The Rixixi with this companion cannot use Pet Treats during Legendary Hunting as a result.

Dual Head Template!

Skin: Searchlight
Skin: Cach Deep
Skin: Glacial
The Dual Head Caverndrake PSD does not require a different item than any other Caverndrake.

Custom reskins don't have to necessarily obey canon Caverndrake coloration, but if you'd like yours to, most Caverndrakes tend to blend in with their surrounding environment - often caves and ravines, including ice and underwater caves.


Skydrake Companion
LEGENDARY Companion: A Rixixi may only have one Legendary Companion at a time.

With a voice like a deep, sonorous alarm and the ability to spit concentrated sunlight, Skydrakes are known as a slightly shorter word to Rixixi: Racha. Dragon.

Skydrakes are a cousin to Tunneldrakes - hence their human-assigned name - adapted for life on mountain peaks. The barbed claws on the Skydrakes' wings and tailtip can separate and combine to perform delicate maneuvers when apart or to form a sharp thrusting weapon when together. The wings typically are fully separated to glide leisurely, readjust between the positions when ascending, and clamp fully when in a dive, talons extended down to strike prey below.

Companion Ability:
Skydrake: Adds a bonus +100 Speed in Exploring and Mining.
If the Rixixi has a Tunneldrake equipped, the Tunneldrake's return is doubled.

Legendary Companion Second Ability:
Skydrake: Death From Above: When Legendary Hunting, adds 15% Success chance to entire party. Retrieves one Rack of Ribs on a failed Legendary Hunt.

The Skydrake can be reskinnned with free options available to all members as well as using the PSD to recolor the base and make a custom reskin:

Template Here!

Skin: Crepuscular

Custom reskins don't have to necessarily obey canon Skydrake coloration, but if you'd like yours to, most Skydrakes have a sky camouflage color scheme, with a more colorful and lively underbelly than back.


Tunneldrake Companion

Still ferocious and only barely tamed from its wild counterpart, but has learned that Rixixi are friends, not food. Enjoys long walks in the mines, raw meat, digging holes, and chasing things it doesn't like. Make sure you're a thing it does like.

Companion Ability:
Tunneldrake: This companion guarantees its companion Rixixi will never roll fewer than 2 items in Mining and Hunting (OVERRIDES Radiation Sickness if present!), and in those two activities will also bring back one bonus item!

The Tunneldrake can be reskinnned with free options available to all members as well as using the PSD to recolor the base and make a custom reskin:

Template Here!

Skin: Albinistic
Skin: Slate

Custom reskins don't have to necessarily obey canon Tunneldrake coloration, but if you'd like yours to, most Tunneldrakes have a neutral or earthtone body color with brighter fins.


ROOTER


Rooter Companion
A large, pig-shaped saurian native to Sxriix, this creature is often tamed and domesticated for a myriad of uses. Commonly, domesticated Rooters are used as mounts or for searching for rare root vegetables and other buried objects, but their docile nature makes them a lovely companion for many Rixixi, so long as their habit of digging quite literally wherever they can think of can be dealt with.

Companion Ability:
Rooter: 50% chance of digging up a rare item in Explorations and Mining. Returns 1 Root Vegetables on failed roll. Also adds a bonus +50 to Speed to its companion Rixixi in these activities. (OVERRIDES Radiation Sickness if present!)

Rooters can be reskinnned with free options available to all members as well as using the PSD to recolor the base and make a custom reskin:

Template Here!

Skin: Rusty Wild
Skin: Pie Noir

Custom reskins don't have to necessarily obey canon Rooter coloration, but if you'd like yours to, most Rooters have pig-like markings and a shiny, colorful shell, with domestic rooters having more colorful shells than wild rooters.


Grand Old Rooter Companion
LEGENDARY Companion: A Rixixi may only have one Legendary Companion at a time.

Only some wild species of Rooter are capable of reaching this size. Some rooters never stop growing as they age, their shells becoming spiny and grizzled as their bodies become long and somewhat graceful when compared to the funny, pig-like saurians they once were. These creatures - originally called Racharruuroos (Dragon-rootdiggers) by Rixixi enamored by their legendary size and shape, and called Grand Old Rooters by humans familiar with hunting terminology, though the human term caught on as wordplay due to the grand size of the elderly rooters.

Most Grand Old Rooters are protective of what they care about - for some, their families and herd. For some, their companions. For wandering loners, it may simply be their territory. Their towering size and overgrown shell allows them to stand firm against attacks, and if multiple Grand Old Rooters have grown old in a herd together, they can make a formidable defense for the young in it.

Companion Ability:
Grand Old Rooter: Adds a bonus +100 Defense in Hunting and a bonus +100 Speed in Exploring. (OVERRIDES Radiation Sickness if present!)
In Combat, AUTOMATICALLY defends for [2d100] (Acts as armor.)

Legendary Companion Second Ability:
Grand Old Rooter: Keeping the Herd Together: If the Rixixi this Legendary Companion is attached to has a Grand Old Rooter (including this one), a Rooter, and a Mini Rooter, all Rooters of any type (including Rooters owned by other Rixixi in the image) count as Rixixi when lowering a Legendary Hunting failure chance, and they count towards the final stat pool (Grand Old Rooters have 250/350/200/100, Rooters have 100/150/100/50, and Mini Rooters have 50/50/50/50).

Grand Old Rooters can be reskinnned with free options available to all members as well as using the PSD to recolor the base and make a custom reskin:

Template Here!

Skin: Loner
Skin: Kaiju | Skin: Kaiju (Loner)
Piglets optional for custom skins!

Custom reskins don't have to necessarily obey canon Grand Old Rooter coloration, but if you'd like yours to, most Grand Old Rooters have duller colors due to being wild Rooters.


Leyline Rooter

While typically found in the Leyline, occasionally a wild Ley Rooter will be seen deep in a river of the surface worlds, digging in the muddy banks for something. They never seem fulfilled with what they find.

Companion Ability:
Mini Rooter: In Explorations and Mining, will dig up any of the following items: Slab of Raw Meat, Flesh Slab, Teeth and Claws, Leather, Death-Charged Fogshard*, Mymber Heart*, B-NOMALY Greymatter Sample*

*Contraband items require Streetwise to roll.

Additionally, when equipped to a living Rixixi, treats that Rixixi as a Ghost in all ways except for genetics.

Mini Rooters can be reskinnned with free options available to all members as well as using the PSD to recolor the base and make a custom reskin:

Template Here!

Skin: Red River Rooter | Skin: Faceless Red River Rooter
Skin: White-Sided | Skin: Faceless White-Sided
Mask optional for custom skins!

Custom reskins don't have to necessarily obey canon Leyline Rooter coloration, but if you'd like yours to, many Leyline Rooters still have pig markings like average Rooters, but they also often have markings similar to cetaceans. Their masks can be any color, and often have bright accents.


Mini Rooter Companion

A domestic breed of Rooters that are half the size or smaller of the average Rooter due to careful breeding. Often have cute and/or bright patterning, and some are bred to have their 'baby stripes' as a permanent marking. Worth noting for any future Rooter owner that these beasts are still about hip height to half the height of a Rixixi at the shoulder when fully grown, and they have a compulsion to take their adorable little nose with its adorable little horn and root around in anything they can. Typically owned by treasure hunters or someone with enough time to train a young rooter what's safe to root in and what isn't.

Companion Ability:
Mini Rooter: 80% chance of digging up an uncommon item in Explorations and Mining. Returns 1 Root Vegetables on failed roll.

Mini Rooters can be reskinnned with free options available to all members as well as using the PSD to recolor the base and make a custom reskin:

Template Here!

Skin: Fairy
Skin: Thunder Pig

Custom reskins don't have to necessarily obey canon Mini Rooter coloration, but if you'd like yours to, many Mini Rooters still have pig markings like average Rooters, but they can have much more fanciful and bright markings, and often have horizontal 'baby stripes'.

ROOTHORNE


Roothorne Squeaker
Event-Exclusive: Cannot be obtained via events or barters that allow "any companion" to be obtained unless otherwise stated.
A hybrid between Sxriix's Rooter and Velukaelo's Hogshorne, the Roothorne takes the best of both species. That is to say, it's a bulky creature that loves to root around for tasty treasures and can likely find you something interesting in the dirt as well.

Companion Ability:
Roothorne: 50% chance of digging up a rare item in Explorations and Mining. Returns 1 Root Vegetables on failed roll. Also adds a bonus +50 to Speed to its companion Rixixi in these activities. (OVERRIDES Radiation Sickness if present!)

Skin: Gen 1
Skin: Pink-Spotted
Skin: Kunekune


TARANAN


Taranan Companion
LEGENDARY Companion: A Rixixi may only have one Legendary Companion at a time.
Taranan are a mammalian species of dragons from Nskanetis. Culturally and due to a dangerous mutation of theirs, they typically live life mute, often binding their muzzles or opting to have surgery done. They can communicate telepathically with each other as well as other species, and are generally good people - generally.

Please ask before riding the Taranan. They are rideable, but sapient.

Companion Ability:
Taranan: Rolls 2 6-sided die. Doubles roll on doubles and sevens.
Legendary Companion Second Ability:
Taranan: Famous Last Words: When Legendary Hunting, rerolls a failed legendary hunt once.

The Taranan can be reskinnned with free options available to all members as well as using the PSD to recolor the base and make a custom reskin:

Template Here!

Skin: Erythristic
Skin: Albinistic
An optional surgical scar layer (for lore) and an optional sable layer is included in the template. You do not have to use either.

Custom reskins don't have to necessarily obey canon Taranan coloration, but if you'd like yours to, most Taranan are pale yellows and oranges, with a sable marking on their back.


WINTERBRINGER DEER


Winterbringer Deer Companion
Event-Exclusive: Cannot be obtained via events or barters that allow "any companion" to be obtained unless otherwise stated.
A winter spirit in animal form. Seeks out lost travellers in the snow.

Companion Ability:
Winterbringer Deer: The Rixixi with this companion cannot bring back less than 2 items in any loot-dropping activity if the piece has ice or snow portrayed.

Also automatically adds the Deepearth Brew boon to any roll: Doubles the quantity of all returned items in the activity, but will not double the return of items that were found due to the use of items that guarantee the return of a certain item, such as Glass Bottle and its ability to return 1x Water, 1x Science Kit, or 1x Deepearth Brew. Deepearth Brew cannot be used on this Rixixi as it would have the same effect.

The Winterbringer Deer can be reskinnned with free options available to all members as well as using the PSD to recolor the base and make a custom reskin:

Template Here!

Skin: Ruun's Messenger
Skin: Rahkarrik's Runner

Custom reskins don't have to necessarily obey canon Winterbringer Deer coloration, and they're very freeform, taking realistic deer markings or brighter markings more similar to Rixixi.
