followerbeasts

Followerbeasts are a fictional concept often found in fantasy literature and role-playing games. They are typically depicted as creatures that possess a magical or symbiotic connection to a master, allowing them to act as extensions of that master's will or power. This connection can manifest in various ways, from shared senses and telepathic communication to the ability to manifest the master's abilities or even draw power from their proximity.

The exact nature and capabilities of followerbeasts vary greatly depending on the specific fictional universe. Some might be simple animal companions with enhanced abilities, while others could be monstrous entities or even ethereal spirits bound to their summoner. Their primary purpose is usually to serve their master, whether it be for protection, combat, scouting, or even as a conduit for magical energy.

The origin of followerbeasts is also diverse. They might be naturally occurring creatures with an innate loyalty, magically created beings, or creatures that have been transformed or bound through powerful rituals. The relationship between a master and their followerbeast is often portrayed as a deep bond, with the success or survival of one frequently tied to the other. This symbiotic or parasitic relationship forms a core element of their narrative function.
