NPC 58
Arnie “The Special Squad” (Tiger Animal Companion D&D 3.5 CR 4)
Arnie is the druid Beth Catswhisper’s animal companion. He is a white tiger stronger and brighter than the normal tiger. Arnie was rescued from a circus by Beth, and since then has become like her shadow, he will not be separated from Beth. This can create some interesting arguments, but people normally see that letting a friendly tiger in is better than trying to keep an angry one out.
In combat Arnie will take on any buffs Beth uses. He will attack with Beth, first using a charge and pounce attack and then fighting along side Beth. He will never be more than 5ft from her.
