Ranger companion

Raccoons

If you meet the requirements you can get your very own useless ball off fluff, but doing the following.

Find some corn, this can be foraged year round in certain locations. Outside ranger tent in Haven and clearing near the goblin brook are two easy places to find it.
Travel to Leth Deriel. You want to go to the SW most room outside the SE Gate of Leth.
PUT (yes the syntax matters) the corn on the ground.
Hide and wait.
When a baby raccoon comes out of the bushes and starts to eat the corn, APPROACH raccoon.
Repeat until it does not run away form you, then quickly SIGNAL RACCOON TO JUMP.
- There are hawks in this room that will eat baby raccoons on the ground.
- Feeding the hawks is endless fun, particularly after you've lost your 20th companion to stupid game mechanics.

Feed it corn whenever it whimpers.
- A (age modifier) raccoon begins to whimper.
They get hungry 60 minutes after their last feeding. This is RL time, being logged out still counts.
Pet them when they pace and get nervous.
- A (age modifier) raccoon paces back and forth nervously.

If you are foraging on the edge of your skill and can not find an item, the raccoon will find it for you.

Acquire some milk. You can buy this in shops or find it in certain places for free on food tables.
Travel to the cougar area near Wolf Clan.
While holding the milk, kneel and wait. When the wolf pack appears, APPROACH it.

As a baby feed it milk when it whimpers.
When it's no longer a baby, feed it meat you have CARVEd from an animal
- A (age modifier) wolf begins to whimper.
- Musk hogs, snowebeasts, peccs, la'tami, cougars, boars, and bears give meat. (?Are there others?)
- Meat spoils about 20 to 30 minutes after carving. Feeding a wolf spoiled meat will make it run away from you. You can use Beseech the Wind to Preserve to extend the life of meat by 60 minutes.

You can track your wolf if you have enough scouting and animal lore.
You can send your non-baby wolf to find track people, then scout to the wolf.
Wolves can carry items, but not weapons or coins.
- A baby wolf can not carry anything.
- A young wolf can carry ?? stones of weight
- A full-grown wolf can carry 70 stones of weight
