--- The "no words" Companion Critters Collection ---

Not a pet, more than a side kick - your faithful partner in mischief & magic.
A Companion Critter is a trusted friend, keeper of secrets, and a loyal presence on every path you tread.
Whether perched on your belt or brought to life in your hands, your Companion Critter is always ready to help deepen your tale, spark imagination, and add a dash of wonder to your adventure

--- What Makes a Companion Critter so Special? ---
Deep in the woods of the Ren Faire, on a quest through a LARP campaign, or building the lore of your newest cosplay, Companion Critters bring your character's world to life.
Each critter is a carefully selected high quality plush animal - fox, owl, pangolin, raccoon, moth, and so many more - housed in a custom leather holster or harness that attaches easily to your belt. Designed to blend seamlessly with your costume ensemble, the hip-mounted design keeps your companion close at hand without interrupting your look or movement.
But these aren't just accessories. Every Companion Critter is also a fully functional hand puppet, ready to speak, gesture, and interact as part of your story. From silent watchers to mischievous sidekicks, each has its own name, personality, notable trait, and special ability - offering inspiration for character development, role play, or spontaneous storytelling.
Choose your companion. Find your ally. Let your story begin.
