Jerboa following my party...

[The_Last_Kell]

So, I am level 12 and still wandering around Drezen on the Azata Mythic path and have noticed a jerboa following my party everywhere. It seems to have happened around the same time as I completed Drezen or I do not remember seeing it before. I also did not chose a familiar nor do any of my companions that I can see. Can someone confirm this is not just some strange bug?

I have the same since choosing the Azata path. I know other people had it, but I don't know if it's a bug.

Yes I have a random jerboa buddy too!

want to pet the jerboa :(

Invulnerable to all...through hell, deathclouds, ancient killer pyramid puzzles and demon sieges......All hail the immortal Jerboa God!

was really funny playing an azata wizard, with a lizard familiar, Ember with her crow familiar and "tiger" the cat you can adopt and use as a familiar +the azata Jerboa running around.

It's like my party is fighting demons flinging hellfire rays, lightning bolts, and fireballs all while escorting a cuddly petting zoo.

Then there is also the pipefox pet and owlcat pet - critters army confirmed.

That little thing has been following me since after I finished the prologue, even before I picked Asata as the main Path. I noticed it after stopping in a couple of locations where there were free-roaming jerboas, similar to rabbits and such. Didn't pay them much attention, but then I starter seeing one of those in other places where you don't normally expect them, like snowy ruins, dungeons, camp, and then interior of Drezen during siege.
I'm not particularily alarmed by it, and it fits right in with my mini-army of cute critters, but it is funny.
I just wonder if it follows us by design (as a joke from Owlcats) or if it's just an oddly specific bug (that should definitely be kept)))
