Dog
A loyal village companion in a red bandana, as all-round as the Cat: exploration output, need endurance and care speed.
Slots, prestige by prestige
You do not pick bonuses off a list: the game draws three at random and you keep one. And a slot only opens every other prestige, the odd ones offer a swap instead, trading one held bonus for another.
On every slot won, the game draws 3 bonuses out of 9 and lets you keep one: the other 8 go back into the pool. A companion with a pool of 11 draws the same 3, out of 10 bonuses left aside. At prestige 10 the pet holds 6 of 9: three will always stay out.
What each bonus is worth
Every bonus starts at a ceiling and reaches a higher one at prestige 10. Three of these bonuses hit a hard cap that prestige does not move. Three of them are never reached.

None of these figures is a given: they are max-level values, and a companion below that only gets a share of them, in proportion to the ground already covered. A prestige resets XP to zero and pushes the max level from 50 to 60, but the bonus does not fall back with the level: it restarts at the ceiling it had reached and climbs from there to the new one. It takes 265 500 XP to reach that new ceiling, against 183 750 for the first climb.
What it does in the dungeon
Guardian. Equipped, it goes down with you, ripostes when you guard a hit and softens a lethal blow.
Its strength follows its level, its prestige and its gauges. A companion that is starving, parched or away exploring stays at the entrance.
The dungeon, step by stepIts four looks, and how you get them
four looks in all, three of them granted at prestige.

Every look carries its own sprites across the 8 animation states: idle, playing, walking, eating, drinking, sleeping, sad, happy.
Where to meet it
One area, a window of eight levels, and that is all: past level 8, the door shuts and does not reopen.
Weight is not a percentage: it is a share in a draw no other species takes part in.
