Welcome to Gaia! ::

Big same! There are so many adorable/fun companions/pets and I've only ever used a fraction. I did some trainer avis a while back.



I also feel like they have decent potential in scenics

I do enjoy using cute companions to fill out the empty corner of spaces; also pretty handy when I wanna dress up my avi for a pet/animal holiday.

(and I think companions include like the people NPCs & pets & sd dolls? but I am not sure)



Some I've made this year~~

Though I was disappointed last year in December not being able to find any llama items on gaia as was thinking of making a llama day avi but gaia only has alpacas xd


But at least this year I have more rabbit items compared to last year so probably can make more bunny theme avi's when easter comes around.

Though there's always a cat or dog holiday every month so likely will wind up making those theme avis in future.
(though there is a frog, spider, butterfly, moth holiday next month too)

I think any bug will drink blood since it contains nutrients. 3nodding

Thanks everyone for sharing ideas! I think I have a hard time using companions because I don't often use backgrounds, so they just float and it doesn't look complete to me.

I made my current avvie thinking of using them in a family portrait sort of way. The little rainbow fox is a handheld, but it peeks over the grass in the background so it's hard to tell.

Just like to point out that whenever I see any witch/wizard/mage/etc avatar without some sort of animal...it just makes me really sad.
Magic should always have familiars. 3nodding

My Bleu Witchy's familiar is inspired by my real life cat, Zuul.
