It seems as though the Paralogos species, in an effort to become closer to their owners, took on attracting beings to call companions.
(Like how Paralogos have owners, Paralogos are the owners of the familiars.)
Companions take on many shapes and forms, but only very, very rarely appear as anything resembling a dinosaur-like species.
In fact, it is much more common that they take on the forms of "mythical" beings than dinosaurs themselves.
These companions always resemble or add onto the Paralogos' in question's main theme. The maximum amount of companions or familiars a Paralogos has been seen to tend to is two.
This is mainly due to the fact that these beings seem to feed off of a similar energy that the Paralogos in question does. These companions can help a Paralogos in many tasks, tending to have their own bit of magical strength, but all the same-- it is taxing on the Paralogos is appears for companions to use their powers.
Rarely, un-bonded companions will appear as un-traited animals which seemingly appear a little abnormal. This occurs only rarely though, and usually the Companion is distressed at losing their original Para-partner. They can be re-bonded though to a new Para, and will gain new traits/appearance.
Main Things to Remember
- Paralogos can have at most two (2) companions.
- These companions are always a good deal smaller than the Paralogos themselves.
It doesn't matter if theoretically the creatures would be larger than Paralogos. All companions are automatically smaller.
- They must match aesthetically (color/theme) to the Paralogos in question.
This means you might have a Ginkgo Paralogos-- an acceptable companion would also be similar in theme-- for example, they could not be a wildly different sort of tree or leaf.
- Companions are essentially 'soul-bound' to their Para's.
This means if you trade the Paralogos/gift it away, the companion will go with them. We are open to working with members if this proves to be an issue or cause for concern, however, but this is clear enough in the lore.
How to Get a Companion
Companion Cards can be bought at the Ink Market, won from events or dropped from Loot Bags.
If you want to use a Companion Card, you will have to do the following:
1) Submit your companion card to the Start MYO Process prompt to transform it into a MYO Slot.
2) When it has been transformed, go to the MYO Slot in question and click “Submit MYO design”.
3) Go to the “Comments” Tab and fill out the following form in the text field:
Creature Description: (f.e. “black cat”, “sentient sapling”, etc)
Paralogos to attach to: (link to masterlist entry)
-> Then save the tab by clicking the “save” button!
4) Go to the “Masterlist Image” tab
- Upload a transparent, flatcolored fullbody artwork of the MYO design (the same file you would’ve submitted via group notes before)
- Add designer and artist credit on the tab
- Click on “save”
5) Go to the “Add-Ons” tab and click on “save”
6) Go to the “Traits” tab and click on “save”
7) Go to the “Status” tab and click on “Submit Request”
An admin will then go over your request and possibly comment on it in case something needs to be altered. Otherwise the request will be approved and your MYO design will be made official.
