A '''Combat Companion''' is an animal, monster, or other creature of subhuman intelligence which has been trained to assist in combat, and can serve as a character's [[companion]].

A combat companion is roughly defined as a common (not unique) creature smaller than a [[Hylian]], which is loyal and trained for combat, but would not consistently take down a combat-trained [[Moblin]] in a one-on-one battle. This companion does not have supernatural or extraordinary abilities for a creature of its kind. Reasonable examples include a wolfos, an attack dog, an octorok, or a tektite. (A [[Picori]] character should have an appropriately-sized combat companion; that is, no larger than a Picori.)

The combat companion's size should prevent it from allowing it to be ridden by a Hylian-sized humanoid, but the combat companion can be used by smaller creatures if it sized to do. A lightweight Kokiri could arguably ride a trained wolfos, for instance. Training a combat companion to be regularly used as a mount, however, increases its rupee cost by 20.

If a combat companion gains its own treasure(s), somehow becomes large enough to carry a Hylian, or in some way becomes extraordinary for its species, or increases drastically in combat strength, it must be treated as a [[Unique Companion]]. [[Category:Canonical Treasures]]
