Fish Companions

Companions are bonded fish that follow you around. You can have up to three.

Bonding

  1. Complete a species' encyclopedia entry. Unlisted species bond through a hidden quest instead.
  2. Carry a fish of that species and open your inventory.
  3. Hover over the fish and hold B.

The fish joins the first empty party slot. If your party is full, you're sent to manage it instead.

Managing your party

Press B outside your inventory, or select Choose fish on an unlocked species in the Fishopedia.

  • Add: place a fish in an empty slot. Use Piles to pick one out of a Pile of Fish.
  • Return: click a companion to pick it up, or shift-click to send it to your inventory.
  • Lead: the left slot is your lead companion.
  • Rename: click a slot's pencil, type a name and press Enter.

Your party stays with you when you die.

How they move

The party screen shows the group your fish will form:

Fish Group
Same species, swimmers Pair or school
Different species, swimmers Mixed shoal (predators don't shoal with non-predators)
Same species, bottom-dwellers Line or crowd
Any other mix Each follows you separately

Swimmers follow you through the air. Bottom-dwellers walk behind you and swim when you're in water, and some climb onto your head or shoulders when you stop. Companions also visit your hand now and then, and react to nearby water, darkness, lights, music and warmth.
