[[folder: Animal orbs]]
A variety of small creatures that players can find and collect to help them in the game.
----
!! In general
*CoolPet: The majority of them are smaller versions of large animals and monsters, from elephants to dragons.
*DefeatMeansFriendship: Played straight with Bitey Bat. Downplayed with the other ones that are obtained this way.They will only be available to join the player after the player defeats their current companion.
*FighterMageThief: While the game does not have set classes per say, the different buffs and abilities of the animal orbs (as well as weapons) aid in different play styles.The main choices players make regarding animal orbs usually follow these four points:
** Fighter: Animal orbs that increase attack are favored by [[CloseRangeCombatant offensive melee players.]]
** Fighter: Animal orbs that increase defense are favored by players that [[StoneWall want more defense]]. [[OneStatToRuleThemAll This also helps make the main campaign easier to get through]].
** Thief: Animal orbs That increase agility are favorited by players that use HitAndRunTactics, and/or [[BowAndSwordInAccord heavy use of the bow.]]
** Mage: Animal orbs that increase Magic are favored by players who prefer to use [[MagicKnight magic attacks most of the time.]]
*GottaCatchEmAll: Excluding ones that need to be obtained by buying DLC, they are all required for the "Animal Handler" achievement.
*GuideDangIt: Zigzagged. Getting all of the Animal orbs requires players to replay earlier levels with items they get later on.Some are vaguely hinted at, some of the harder to find ones are mostly found by players who randomly run around the level until they find where the orb is hidden, and some require ''other animal orbs'' to help locate them.Specifics pertaining to certain animal orbs are in their entries below.
*LoyalAnimalCompanion: All of them to whatever character currently owns them. For some, the animal part is questionable.
*PowerFloats: Most of the Animal orbs float, and passively grant the players an increase in certain stats.
*SupportPartyMember: Not all of them can damage enemies directly, and the ones that can can usually have a secondary feature that is much more useful to the players.For the majority of animal orbs, they aid the players with passive stat boosts.
!! Beholder
*ExtraEyes: Has five eyes.
*GuideDangIt: To get the Beholder, a player needs the Cardinal animal orb from the Industrial castle stage.They then need to go to the Full moon stage with the Cardinal animal orb, then, the Cardinal must find the key sword.''Then'' they must have the key sword equipped, go to the animal ark, go to the back of the room, and use it on (read:attack) the locked door to unlock it, ''[[RunningGag then]]'' go into the now open room, where the Beholder is just sitting there.Nothing in the game outright states any of this.
*Oculothorax: As is normal for a beholder.
*ScaryTeeth: Has a row of big, spikey teeth in its lower jaw.
*ShoutOut: To the beholders of DungeonsAndDragons.
*SupportPartyMember: Is the only animal orb that can increase the magic stat.
!! [=BiPolar=] Bear
A polar bear animal orb found at the end of the Snow world level In a cave.To get it to come out, Players must use the Horn near the cave, as hinted at by a nearby sign.
----
*AddedAlliterativeAppeal: '''B'''iPolar '''B'''ear.
*BearsAreBadNews: [=BiPolar=] Bear will savagely maul the ''ever loving shit'' out of anyone with less than 11 health, ''Including the player it's currently the companion of''. In regards to the bosses, he will go after them when they are at less then 11 percent of their total health.
*FriendlyFire: [=BiPolar=] Bear is the only Animal orb that will attack ''anyone'' who has low health.
*MoodSwinger: [=BiPolar=] Bear's name and tendency to go from killing enemies to killing ''allies'' who's health is low in a heartbeat, is a nod to how [[UsefullNotes/BipolarDisorder Bipolar disorder is often portrayed in media]].
*PunnyName: Of the words Bipolar and polar bear.
*SupportPartyMember: Since all enemies except bosses have no health bars, [=BiPolar=] Bear is good for both finishing off enemies, and letting a player know when an enemy is dead, so they can move on to another target.
!! Bitey bat
The former boss Pipistrello after he is defeated.For tropes relating to Bitey bat/Pipistrello, see his combined entry in the Bosses folder above.
!! Burley Bear.
Another bear Animal orb, which resembles a deformed grizzly bear. It is found in the Tall Grass Field level, in a cave.
----
*AddedAlliterativeAppeal: '''B'''urley '''B'''ear.
*BearsAreBadNews: While Burley Bear itself doesn't attack, it's presence makes it's current companion's melee attacks stronger.
*GuideDangIt: Burley Bear cannot be gotten on a new players/characters first run through the Tall Grass Field. To get it, players must unlock sandwiches and bombs(which are available to buy after completing some later levels), then go back to the short cliff with a ladder. Instead of climbing the ladder, a player must eat a sandwich to become beefy, then remove a large boulder on the left side of the cliff face, and enter the cave it opens up. Once inside, the player must then use bombs to open up a crack in the wall, go into the hole it creates, and move to the right to find Burley Bear.
*SupportPartyMember: It's presence increases the strength of the player who has it as a companion.
!! Cardinal
A cardinal animal orb that the player can obtain after beating its companion in the industrial castle.It can help the player find hidden items.
----
*DefeatMeansFriendship: Downplayed. To get the Cardinal, the player must beat it's companion first.
*GuideDangIt: Not getting the Cardinal itself, but finding things ''with'' the Cardinal. When it's near a secret item, it will fetch it for the player, but since the items are, well, ''secret'', first time players will need to bring the Cardinal to "every level'' in their search for hidden items without a guide.
*SupportPartyMember: The Cardinal fetches hidden equipment for its current companion when there is some nearby in a level.It's usefulness is limited however, because once a player has obtained the weapon or item, it is unlocked for them and they don't need to get it again, and the items are only located in a few select levels.
!! Chicken
A chicken animal orb found in the Medusas lair level, buried in the ground.To get it, players have to dig it up.
----
*ADogNamedDog: while some other animal orbs have a PunnyName or AddedAlliterativeAppeal, The Chicken animal orb is just called "Chicken".
*MasterOfNone: It gives a single point boost to strength, defense and agility.
*ShoutOut: It's designed to look like the chicken logo of The Behemoth, the game's creators.
*SupportPartyMember: The Chicken gives its current companion an even boost in strength, defense and agility.
!! Frogglet
A frog. . . Creature found in the Marsh level, buried in the ground. To get it, players have to dig it up.
----
*MixAndMatchCritters: It has the body of a frog, and the antlers of a deer.
*OverlyLongTongue: Frogglet uses it to grab items.
*SupportPartyMember: Frogglet will pick up items for it's player companion, which is useful for players who don't want to divide their attention between fighting enemies and picking up the items themselves.
!! Giraffey
A giraffe animal orb found in the first half of the Desert level, buried in the ground. To get it, players have to dig it up.
----
*ExperienceBooster: Giraffey increases experience points gained by ten percent.
*SupportPartyMember: Giraffey increases it's player companion's experience gain by ten percent, but since experience points are awarded as one per hit on an enemy, it is nearly useless for high strength or level characters, and is ''completely'' useless for a character at max level.
!! Hawkster
A hawk animal orb found in the Grass field level, in a hut.To make it come out, players must use the horn near it's hut as hinted by a nearby sign.
----
*CombinationAttack: Hawkster works well with it's fellow animal orb Rammy, who's attacks knock enemies down.
*KickThemWhileTheyAreDown: Hawkster will attack enemies who have been knocked down.
*Plunder: If an enemy dies from damage that knocks it down, Hawkster will rush over to loot food from their body that the player can eat to regain health.
*SupportPartyMember: Hawkster's attack is welcome to players who enjoy stunning enemies by repeatedly stomping them into the ground.
*UtilityPartyMember: What most players bring Hawkster along for is the food he keeps picking up from defeated enemies, which means a player with Hawkster as a companion uses less healing potions overall.Additionally, Hawkster works well with fellow animal orb Piggy, in helping a teammate low on health that has Piggy as their animal orb.Hawkster picks up fruit, and Piggy makes food restore more health.
!! Install Ball
A ball . . . Of some sort. It is found in the Alien Ship level.
----
*GuideDangIt: The Install Ball can only be found on the alien ship during the count down to its explosion. After taking down the first set of lasers blocking their path, the player needs to walk along the top of the screen to where the ships wires part, go in the space, walk to the right, and the Install Ball will be there.
*PainfullySlowProjectile: It's photons are fast, buts slow enough to dodge.
*ShoutOut: To the Install Ball from VideoGame/AlienHomonid.
*SupportPartyMember: It fires photon projectiles at enemies.
!! Meowburt
A cat animal orb that can be found just after the parade level.
----
*AnimalJingoism: At the party celebrating the wizards defeat, Meowburt is being chased around the room by Pazzo.
*FromStrayToPet: Once It notices the player characters from its place in the bushes, it hangs around outside the entrance to Cyclops' Cave until the player goes to get it.
*GuideDangIt: To get Meowburt, the player has to exit the cave their head gets smacked into after entering it at the end of the parade level.Before players go into the cave, he peeks out from the bushes for a split second.
*PunnyName: Meow is the English onomatopoeia for the sound a cat makes.
*SupportPartyMember: It gives it's player companion a boost in agility.
!! Monkey Face
A monkey animal orb that can be bought at the church store after the Parade level.

!! In general
*CoolPet: The majority of them are smaller versions of large animals and monsters, from elephants to dragons.
*DefeatMeansFriendship: Played straight with Bitey Bat. Downplayed with the other ones that are obtained this way.They will only be available to join the player after the player defeats their current companion.
*FighterMageThief: While the game does not have set classes per say, the different buffs and abilities of the animal orbs (as well as weapons) aid in different play styles.The main choices players make regarding animal orbs usually follow these four points:
** Fighter: Animal orbs that increase attack are favored by [[CloseRangeCombatant offensive melee players.]]
** Fighter: Animal orbs that increase defense are favored by players that [[StoneWall want more defense]]. [[OneStatToRuleThemAll This also helps make the main campaign easier to get through]].
** Thief: Animal orbs That increase agility are favorited by players that use HitAndRunTactics, and/or [[BowAndSwordInAccord heavy use of the bow.]]
** Mage: Animal orbs that increase Magic are favored by players who prefer to use [[MagicKnight magic attacks most of the time.]]
*GottaCatchEmAll: Excluding ones that need to be obtained by buying DLC, they are all required for the "Animal Handler" achievement.
*GuideDangIt: Zigzagged. Getting all of the Animal orbs requires players to replay earlier levels with items they get later on.Some are vaguely hinted at, some of the harder to find ones are mostly found by players who randomly run around the level until they find where the orb is hidden, and some require ''other animal orbs'' to help locate them.Specifics pertaining to certain animal orbs are in their entries below.
*LoyalAnimalCompanion: All of them to whatever character currently owns them. For some, the animal part is questionable.
*PowerFloats: Most of the Animal orbs float, and passively grant the players an increase in certain stats.
*SupportPartyMember: Not all of them can damage enemies directly, and the ones that can can usually have a secondary feature that is much more useful to the players.For the majority of animal orbs, they aid the players with passive stat boosts.
!! Beholder
*ExtraEyes: Has five eyes.
*GuideDangIt: To get the Beholder, a player needs the Cardinal animal orb from the Industrial castle stage.They then need to go to the Full moon stage with the Cardinal animal orb, then, the Cardinal must find the key sword.''Then'' they must have the key sword equipped, go to the animal ark, go to the back of the room, and use it on (read:attack) the locked door to unlock it, ''[[RunningGag then]]'' go into the now open room, where the Beholder is just sitting there.Nothing in the game outright states any of this.
*Oculothorax: As is normal for a beholder.
*ScaryTeeth: Has a row of big, spikey teeth in its lower jaw.
*ShoutOut: To the beholders of DungeonsAndDragons.
*SupportPartyMember: Is the only animal orb that can increase the magic stat.

*BearsAreBadNews: [=BiPolar=] Bear will savagely maul the ''ever loving shit'' out of anyone with less than 11 health, ''Including the player it's currently the companion of''. In regards to the bosses, he will go after them when they are at less then 11 percent of their total health.
*FriendlyFire: [=BiPolar=] Bear is the only Animal orb that will attack ''anyone'' who has low health.
*MoodSwinger: [=BiPolar=] Bear's name and tendency to go from killing enemies to killing ''allies'' who's health is low in a heartbeat, is a nod to how [[UsefullNotes/BipolarDisorder Bipolar disorder is often portrayed in media]].
*PunnyName: Of the words Bipolar and polar bear.
*SupportPartyMember: Since all enemies except bosses have no health bars, [=BiPolar=] Bear is good for both finishing off enemies, and letting a player know when an enemy is dead, so they can move on to another target.
!! Bitey bat
The former boss Pipistrello after he is defeated.For tropes relating to Bitey bat/Pipistrello, see his combined entry in the Bosses folder above.
!! Burley Bear.
Another bear Animal orb, which resembles a deformed grizzly bear. It is found in the Tall Grass Field level, in a cave.
----
*AddedAlliterativeAppeal: '''B'''urley '''B'''ear.
*BearsAreBadNews: While Burley Bear itself doesn't attack, it's presence makes it's current companion's melee attacks stronger.
*GuideDangIt: Burley Bear cannot be gotten on a new players/characters first run through the Tall Grass Field. To get it, players must unlock sandwiches and bombs(which are available to buy after completing some later levels), then go back to the short cliff with a ladder. Instead of climbing the ladder, a player must eat a sandwich to become beefy, then remove a large boulder on the left side of the cliff face, and enter the cave it opens up. Once inside, the player must then use bombs to open up a crack in the wall, go into the hole it creates, and move to the right to find Burley Bear.
*SupportPartyMember: It's presence increases the strength of the player who has it as a companion.
!! Cardinal
A cardinal animal orb that the player can obtain after beating its companion in the industrial castle.It can help the player find hidden items.
----
*DefeatMeansFriendship: Downplayed. To get the Cardinal, the player must beat it's companion first.
*GuideDangIt: Not getting the Cardinal itself, but finding things ''with'' the Cardinal. When it's near a secret item, it will fetch it for the player, but since the items are, well, ''secret'', first time players will need to bring the Cardinal to "every level'' in their search for hidden items without a guide.
*SupportPartyMember: The Cardinal fetches hidden equipment for its current companion when there is some nearby in a level.It's usefulness is limited however, because once a player has obtained the weapon or item, it is unlocked for them and they don't need to get it again, and the items are only located in a few select levels.
!! Chicken
A chicken animal orb found in the Medusas lair level, buried in the ground.To get it, players have to dig it up.
----
*ADogNamedDog: while some other animal orbs have a PunnyName or AddedAlliterativeAppeal, The Chicken animal orb is just called "Chicken".

*OverlyLongTongue: Frogglet uses it to grab items.
*SupportPartyMember: Frogglet will pick up items for it's player companion, which is useful for players who don't want to divide their attention between fighting enemies and picking up the items themselves.
!! Giraffey
A giraffe animal orb found in the first half of the Desert level, buried in the ground. To get it, players have to dig it up.
----
*ExperienceBooster: Giraffey increases experience points gained by ten percent.
*SupportPartyMember: Giraffey increases it's player companion's experience gain by ten percent, but since experience points are awarded as one per hit on an enemy, it is nearly useless for high strength or level characters, and is ''completely'' useless for a character at max level.
!! Hawkster
A hawk animal orb found in the Grass field level, in a hut.To make it come out, players must use the horn near it's hut as hinted by a nearby sign.
----
*CombinationAttack: Hawkster works well with it's fellow animal orb Rammy, who's attacks knock enemies down.
*KickThemWhileTheyAreDown: Hawkster will attack enemies who have been knocked down.
*Plunder: If an enemy dies from damage that knocks it down, Hawkster will rush over to loot food from their body that the player can eat to regain health.
*SupportPartyMember: Hawkster's attack is welcome to players who enjoy stunning enemies by repeatedly stomping them into the ground.
*UtilityPartyMember: What most players bring Hawkster along for is the food he keeps picking up from defeated enemies, which means a player with Hawkster as a companion uses less healing potions overall.Additionally, Hawkster works well with fellow animal orb Piggy, in helping a teammate low on health that has Piggy as their animal orb.Hawkster picks up fruit, and Piggy makes food restore more health.
!! Install Ball
A ball . . . Of some sort. It is found in the Alien Ship level.
----
*GuideDangIt: The Install Ball can only be found on the alien ship during the count down to its explosion. After taking down the first set of lasers blocking their path, the player needs to walk along the top of the screen to where the ships wires part, go in the space, walk to the right, and the Install Ball will be there.
*PainfullySlowProjectile: It's photons are fast, buts slow enough to dodge.
*ShoutOut: To the Install Ball from VideoGame/AlienHomonid.
*SupportPartyMember: It fires photon projectiles at enemies.
!! Meowburt
A cat animal orb that can be found just after the parade level.
----
*AnimalJingoism: At the party celebrating the wizards defeat, Meowburt is being chased around the room by Pazzo.
*FromStrayToPet: Once It notices the player characters from its place in the bushes, it hangs around outside the entrance to Cyclops' Cave until the player goes to get it.
*GuideDangIt: To get Meowburt, the player has to exit the cave their head gets smacked into after entering it at the end of the parade level.Before players go into the cave, he peeks out from the bushes for a split second.
