Pets and Companions in D&D
An urchin with a cat or a raven, a folk hero with a cow and a ranger with a boar. All fairly regular dnd pets.
And there there are deep gnomes with a giant centipede, a triton with a pair of sea gulls or a tiefling who adopted a rust monster the group found the week before.
