Examples would be:
A wolf by the side of a beastmaster
A demon by the side of a warlock
A monster by the side of a summoner
A fairy flying by your side
The look would be like something below.
I was thinking that the mechanic would be just like you have a passive spell on you in the beginning of a battle and there is a glowing animation on you,
the "pet" could be just like a passive spell, which is always on. But the animation would actually be a character which goes out and attacks instead of just pulsing a glowing color.
In my game, I have a demon with a warlock, and a summoned angel by the summoner, but I do not want them taking up a party slot.
Thanks!
