{{Audience|EarlyMYN|Evergreen=yes}}
There are a host of [[Companions]] available in ''Fallen London'', and indeed three of the shops in [[The Echo Bazaar!|the Bazaar]] sell Companions (although one is Fate-locked). While you can see their price, description, and stats through the shop interface, what you don't see is whether there are any additional advantages to being accompanied by any of these. This page addresses that need, listing various repeatable activities that require these Companions.

== Summary ==
In general, it is worth having one of most Companions as this unlocks various options. This will greatly depend on whether you can easily afford them of course, so you'll want to start with the cheaper Companions. An overall assessment of which ones are most useful follows below. This is subjective, and your individual goals may lead you to a different opinion.

[[File:Fish gold.png|right]]
=== [[Cheerful Goldfish]] ===
A very cheap addition to your roster, this little fellow reduces {{IL|Nightmares}}. Equip it before playing Dream opportunity cards, for example, to reduce your Menace build-up.

A Cheerful Goldfish can then give you {{IL|Piscine Research|2 x}} when you are performing research with an {{IL|Ichthyological Focus}} in your [[University Laboratory (Guide)|University Laboratory]]. This consumes your Cheerful Goldfish.

In Fallen London, you can spend Cheerful Goldfish to:
* (1) [[Feed your plant a goldfish]], when {{IL|Attending to the Needs of a Singular Plant}} (see: [[Tournament of Lilies (Guide)]]).

In [[Parabola]], you can spend Cheerful Goldfish to:
* (1) [[Bait the Focused Albatross]], to reduce its ferocity when trying to capture a {{IL|Focused Albatross}}.
* (1) [[Offer a habitation to one of the smaller Fingerkings]], gaining you {{IL|Favours: Fingerkings|1 x}} and replacing the Cheerful Goldfish with a {{IL|Possessed Goldfish}} (which reduces your [[BDR]], useful for certain [[Bone Market]] interactions for example).
** A Possessed Goldfish can then give you {{IL|Piscine Research|2 x}} and {{IL|Parabolan Research|4 x}} when you are performing research with an {{IL|Ichthyological Focus}} in your [[University Laboratory (Guide)|University Laboratory]]. This consumes your Possessed Goldfish.
** You can sell a Possessed Goldfish to {{IL|A Teller of Terrors}} at the [[Bone Market]] for {{IL|Preserved Surface Blooms|2 x}} and {{IL|Royal-Blue Feather|1 x}}.

[[File:Weasel.png|right]]
=== [[Lucky Weasel]] ===
Allows you to take part in [[City Vices: a tournament of weasels!]] (an unusual-frequency opportunity card in Fallen London). With a Lucky Weasel, you have a 30% chance of success.

When you have reached {{IL|A Name Scrawled in Blood}} 2, you will unlock [[Business on Watchmaker's Hill]] in {{IL|Watchmaker's Hill}}. When {{IL|The Airs of London}} are 0-25 and you [[Encounter: an enthusiastic outing]], a Lucky Weasel can win you {{IL|Moon-Pearl|36-45 x}}.

In {{IL|The Flit}}, you can [[Entertain the Topsy King]] by attempting to [[Pull your Lucky Weasel from a hat]]. Success gives you {{IL|Rat on a String|70 x}}, but failure will lose your Lucky Weasel.

If you have '''400''' Lucky Weasels, you'll draw the opportunity card [[You Appear to Have Purchased an Extraordinary Number of Weasels]]. This will grant you the special accomplishment {{IL|A Weaseller}}.

In Fallen London, you can spend Lucky Weasels to:
* (1) Gain {{IL|Favours: Urchins|1 x}} from the standard-frequency faction opportunity card [[The Roof-Tops: Urchins]].
* (9) [[Feed a box of weasels to the plant]], when {{IL|Attending to the Needs of a Singular Plant}} (see: [[Tournament of Lilies (Guide)]]).

In [[a slow boat passing a dark beach on a silent river]], you can spend Lucky Weasels to:
* (all) [[Offer the Boatman a sacrifice]], awarding you {{IL|Wounds|-2 CP}}. This loses you ''all'' your Lucky Weasels, so in general it's best to carry exactly one.

In [[Parabola]], you can spend Lucky Weasels to:
* (1) [[Offer a habitation to a moderate-sized Fingerking]], gaining you {{IL|Favours: Fingerkings|1 x}} and replacing the Lucky Weasel with a {{IL|Weasel of Social Discomfiture}} (which greatly reduces your {{IL|Respectable}}, useful for certain [[Bone Market]] interactions for example).
** You can sell a Weasel of Social Discomfiture to {{IL|An Investment-Minded Ambassador}} at the [[Bone Market]] for {{IL|Moves in the Great Game|2 x}}.
** If you are {{IL|A Weaseller}} and have '''400''' Weasels of Social Discomfiture, you'll draw the opportunity card [[You Appear To Have Corrupted An Extraordinary Number of Weasels]]. This will change the description of your {{IL|A Weaseller}} quality.

[[File:Lizard.png|right]]
=== [[Reprehensible Lizard]] ===
Owning a Reprehensible Lizard will add a standard-frequency card to your Fallen London opportunity deck: [[Lizardly matters]]. This has a 60% chance of success, giving: {{IL|Confident Smile|x 1}}, {{IL|Nightmares|-1 CP}}, and a 1.75 {{e}} profit in items. This is generally not considered to be valuable.

At {{IL|Mrs Plenty's Carnival}} in [[The games tent]], a Reprehensible Lizard lets you try [[Lizard Throwing]] which gives you a 50% chance to win a {{IL|Sulky Bat}} (or, on a rare success, {{IL|Sulky Bat|3 x}} and {{IL|Sapphire|1 x}}).

In {{IL|The Flit}}, when investigating [[Bats and Cats]], a Reprehensible Lizard lets you [[Try intercepting some bats]] through which you can gain a {{IL|Sulky Bat}} (as well as advance the storyline).

A Reprehensible Lizard can then give you {{IL|Amphibian Research|3 x}} when you are performing research with an {{IL|Herpetological Focus}} in your [[University Laboratory (Guide)|University Laboratory]]. This consumes your Reprehensible Lizard.

In [[Parabola]], you can spend Reprehensible Lizards to:
* (1) [[Furnish the Fingerkings with a Lizard]], gaining you {{IL|Favours: Fingerkings|1 x}} and replacing the Reprehensible Lizard with a {{IL|Viric Lizard}} (which greatly reduces your {{IL|Bizarre}}, useful for certain [[Bone Market]] interactions for example).
** A Viric Lizard can then give you {{IL|Amphibian Research|25 x}} and {{IL|Parabolan Research|10 x}} when you are performing research with an {{IL|Herpetological Focus}} in your [[University Laboratory (Guide)|University Laboratory]]. This does not consume your Viric Lizard.
** You can sell a Viric Lizard to {{IL|A Tentacled Entrepreneur}} at the [[Bone Market]] for {{IL|Rumour of the Upper River|1 x}}.

[[File:Bat.png|right]]
=== [[Sulky Bat]] ===
Owning a Sulky Bat will add a standard-frequency card to your Fallen London opportunity deck: [[A Parliament of Bats]]. With this, you can try to gain a {{IL|Bat with Attitude}} (either through a rare success of about 5% probability, or by spending {{IL|Sulky Bat|100 x}} to guarantee it). It also has a valuable option to spend {{IL|Vision of the Surface|1 x}} (worth 0.50 {{e}}) to gain {{IL|Favours: The Great Game|1 x}}.

In {{IL|The Flit}}, you can [[Entertain the Topsy King]] by attempting to [[Make your Sulky Bat disappear]]. Success gives you a [[Bundle of Oddities (Guide)|Bundle of Oddities]], but failure will lose your Sulky Bat.

In {{IL|Godfall}}, when the {{IL|Airs of Godfall}} are 0-40, you can [[Loose your Sulky Bat]] to gain {{IL|Progress of a Pilgrimage}} and {{IL|St Stalactite's Favour}} (see: [[Pilgrimages in Godfall (Guide)]]).

In {{IL|Ealing Gardens}}, at [[Licensed by Mr Hearts]], you can use a Sulky Bat to gain {{IL|Bat Wing|2 x}} (which may or may not use up the Sulky Bat depending on your approach).

In Fallen London, you can spend Sulky Bats to:
* (10) [[Feed a few bats to your plant]], when {{IL|Attending to the Needs of a Singular Plant}} (see: [[Tournament of Lilies (Guide)]]).
* (1 or 2) [[Train some bats of your own]] when investigating [[Bats and Cats]] in {{IL|The Flit}}, to advance the storyline. You need 10 to attempt this, and will lose 1 on a success or 2 on a failure.

In [[a slow boat passing a dark beach on a silent river]], you can spend Sulky Bats to:
* (all) [[Offer the Boatman a sacrifice]], awarding you {{IL|Wounds|-2 CP}}. This loses you ''all'' your Sulky Bats, so in general it's best to carry exactly one.

[[File:Rat.png|right]]
=== [[Talkative Rattus Faber]] ===
The Talkative Rattus Faber gives -25 to each of your main [[Attributes]]. Why would you want ''that''? Well, you gain more CP in levelling an Attribute when it is lower, so if you can reduce your Attribute artificially then you can increase it faster (see: [[Leveling (Guide)]]). The [[#Weasel of Woe|Weasel of Woe]] is more effective at this, but the Talkative Rattus Faber is significantly cheaper.

If you have completed [[Sartorial squeamishness]], then having all three of {{IL|Talkative Rattus Faber}}, {{IL|Working Rat}}, {{IL|Rattus Faber Bandit-Chief}} opens a story in Your Lodgings: [[A night-time conference]]. See: [[Seeking the Meaning of the Plaster Face (Guide)]].

In {{IL|Watchmaker's Hill}}, one of the rat companions can be used for [[Stealth watch repair]], a standard-frequency opportunity card. Each rat has a different test.

[[File:Weaselfight.png|right]]
=== [[Araby Fighting-Weasel]] ===
Allows you to take part in [[City Vices: a tournament of weasels!]] (an unusual-frequency opportunity card in Fallen London). With an Araby Fighting-Weasel, you have a 70% chance of success.

When you have reached {{IL|A Name Scrawled in Blood}} 2, you will unlock [[Business on Watchmaker's Hill]] in {{IL|Watchmaker's Hill}}. When {{IL|The Airs of London}} are 0-25 and you [[Encounter: an enthusiastic outing]], an Araby Fighting-Weasel can win you {{IL|Moon-Pearl|46-55 x}}.

In Fallen London, you can spend Araby Fighting-Weasels to:
* (1) Get {{IL|Sign of the Chiropteromantic Zodiac:}} The Crow or The Shepherd when you [[Ask Madame Shoshana to cast your horoscope]] at {{IL|Mrs Plenty's Carnival}}.

During [[Hallowmas (Guide)|Hallowmas]], an Araby Fighting-Weasel can be upgraded to an {{IL|Ermine Assassin}}.
* Owning an Ermine Assassin unlocks an option on [[City Vices: a tournament of weasels!]] ([[Attend with your Ermine Assassin]]) which doesn't require you to pass a luck check and gives you {{IL|Piece of Rostygold|200 x}} and {{IL|Maniac's Prayer|15 x}} (3.5 {{e}} in sale value). With {{IL|Someone Is Coming}} spent on {{IL|Bone Fragments}} through [[Raw material]], this amounts to up to 5.5 {{e}} per action.

[[File:Raven.png|right]]

=== [[Dazed Raven Advisor]] ===
Owning a Dazed Raven Advisor will add a standard-frequency card to your Fallen London opportunity deck: [[A kindness of ravens]]. Amongst other options, with this card you can:
* Replace your Dazed Raven Advisor with a {{IL|Dreamy Raven Advisor}} at the cost of {{IL|Antique Mystery|1 x}}.
** This can be further replaced with a {{IL|Philosophical Raven Advisor}} at the cost of {{IL|Primaeval Hint|1 x}}.
*** This can be further replaced with a {{IL|Mystic Raven Advisor}} at the cost of {{IL|Primaeval Hint|1 x}}, {{IL|Volume of Collated Research|20 x}}, {{IL|Memory of Distant Shores|20 x}}, {{IL|Extraordinary Implication|1 x}}.
* Replace your Dazed Raven Advisor with a {{IL|Wary Raven Advisor}} at the cost of {{IL|Blackmail Material|1 x}}.
** This can be further replaced with an {{IL|Unscrupulous Raven Advisor}} at the cost of {{IL|Diary of the Dead|1 x}}.
*** This can be further replaced with a {{IL|Devious Raven Advisor}} at the cost of {{IL|Diary of the Dead|1 x}}, {{IL|Bazaar Permit|2 x}}, {{IL|Comprehensive Bribe|1 x}}, {{IL|Blackmail Material|1 x}}.

It should be noted that the Ravens do not have any uses for anything, and are inferior companions despite costing so much more than more readily available ones that give better stat bonuses.

[[File:Mandrake.png|right]]

=== [[Deshrieked Mandrake]] ===
Owning a Deshrieked Mandrake will add a standard-frequency card to your Fallen London opportunity deck: [[The song of the Mandrake]]. This has a 60% chance of success, giving: {{IL|Confident Smile|x 1}}, {{IL|Nightmares|-1 CP}}, and a 1.75 {{e}} profit in items. This is generally not considered to be valuable.
{{clear}}
----

[[File:Spider.png|right]]
=== [[Fairly Tame Sorrow-Spider]] ===
Owning a Fairly Tame Sorrow-Spider will add a standard-frequency card to your Fallen London opportunity deck: [[Spiders and flies]]. This has a 60% chance of success, giving: {{IL|Sudden Insight|x 1}}, {{IL|Wounds|-1 CP}}, and a 1.75 {{e}} profit in items. This is generally not considered to be valuable.

In {{IL|The Blind Helmsman}}, you can spend [[A Night at the Spider Pits]]. Rather than betting on another spider, you can use your own Fairly Tame Sorrow-Spider. The expected payoff is poor (0.04 {{e}}), unless you also have {{IL|Arachnologist}} 2, in which case this is the best option here (0.36 {{e}}) but still low.

In Fallen London, you can spend Fairly Tame Sorrow-Spiders to:
* (1) [[Feed your plant a sorrow-spider]], when {{IL|Attending to the Needs of a Singular Plant}} (see: [[Tournament of Lilies (Guide)]]).
{{clear}}
----

[[File:Rat2.png|right]]
=== [[Working Rat]] ===
Owning both a Working Rat and a {{IL|Ratskin Suit}} will add a standard-frequency card to your Fallen London opportunity deck: [[Sartorial squeamishness]]. This cannot be discarded. Either you must get sell the rat or the suit, or you can gain {{IL|Sympathetic about Ratly Concerns}} which opens up an additional storyline (and this card will not appear again)...

If you have completed [[Sartorial squeamishness]], then having all three of {{IL|Talkative Rattus Faber}}, {{IL|Working Rat}}, {{IL|Rattus Faber Bandit-Chief}} opens a story in Your Lodgings: [[A night-time conference]]. See: [[Seeking the Meaning of the Plaster Face (Guide)]].

In {{IL|Watchmaker's Hill}}, one of the rat companions can be used for [[Stealth watch repair]], a standard-frequency opportunity card. Each rat has a different test.

----

[[File:Monkey.png|right]]
=== [[Malevolent Monkey]] ===
Owning a Malevolent Monkey will add a very infrequent card to your Fallen London opportunity deck: [[The Honey-Addled Monkey]]. Amongst other options, with this card you can:
* Replace your Malevolent Monkey with an {{IL|Alluring Accomplice}} at the cost of {{IL|Piece of Rostygold|200 x}} (requires you to have {{IL|Renown: Hell}} 10). If you fail the {{IL|Persuasive}} 60 test, you will instead get a {{IL|Grubby Urchin}}.
* Replace your Malevolent Monkey with a {{IL|Ruthless Henchman}} at the cost of {{IL|Nevercold Brass Sliver|200 x}} and {{IL|Favours: Criminals|3 x}}. If you fail the luck test, you will instead get a {{IL|Devious Henchman}}.

If you '''also''' own a {{IL|Grubby Urchin}}, owning a Malevolent Monkey will add a very infrequent card to your Fallen London opportunity deck: [[The Urchin and the Monkey]]. This has various options, one of which grants {{IL|Favours: Urchins}}.

During the [[Feast of the Rose (Guide)|Feast of the Exceptional Rose]], a Malevolent Monkey can be upgraded to a {{IL|Pentecost Ape}}.

During [[Christmas (Guide)|Christmas]], a Malevolent Monkey can be converted to a {{IL|Dark-Carapaced Crustacean}} by feeding it an {{IL|Unusual Pail of So-Called Snow}}.
* A Dark-Carapaced Crustacean can then give you {{IL|Piscine Research|25 x}} when you are performing research with an {{IL|Ichthyological Focus}} in your [[University Laboratory (Guide)|University Laboratory]]. This does not consume your Dark-Carapaced Crustacean.

[[File:Ratmasked.png|right]]
=== [[Rattus Faber Bandit-Chief]] ===
If you have completed [[Sartorial squeamishness]], then having all three of {{IL|Talkative Rattus Faber}}, {{IL|Working Rat}}, {{IL|Rattus Faber Bandit-Chief}} opens a story in Your Lodgings: [[A night-time conference]]. See: [[Seeking the Meaning of the Plaster Face (Guide)]].

In {{IL|Watchmaker's Hill}}, one of the rat companions can be used for [[Stealth watch repair]], a standard-frequency opportunity card. Each rat has a different test.

[[File:Midnightmatriarch.png|right]]
=== [[Midnight Matriarch]] ===
A Midnight Matriarch can give you {{IL|Laboratory Research|5 x}} when you are performing research to [[Find a Route to Parabola]] in your [[University Laboratory (Guide)|University Laboratory]].

If you '''also''' own a {{IL|Scuttering Squad}}, owning a Midnight Matriarch will add an unusual-frequency card to your Fallen London opportunity deck: [[Like rats and cats]] which cannot be discarded. This is a very bad card; it either loses 100 [[Memory of Light|Memories of Light]] or doubles your Scandal level. 
{{clear}}
----

[[File:Sidebarplaguedbyapopularsong.png|right]]

=== [[Weasel of Woe]] ===
The Weasel of Woe gives -300 to each of your main [[Attributes]] and -10 to all [[Advanced Skills (Guide)|Advanced Skills]]. Why would you want ''that''? Well, you gain more CP in levelling an Attribute when it is lower, so if you can reduce your Attribute artificially then you can increase it faster (see: [[Leveling (Guide)]]). Moreover, the Weasel of Woe lowers your main [[Attributes]] so much that negative opportunity cards caused by posession of an [[Eyeless Skull]] are discarded.

Equipping a Weasel of Woe sets the {{IL|Woeful}} quality. This is used to prevent certain options appearing, so that the Weasel's properties can't be exploited. It also adds two abundant frequency cards to your Fallen London opportunity deck: [[A Dream of Claws]] and [[A Dream of Teeth]], both of which increase {{IL|Nightmares}}.

If you have '''400''' Weasels of Woe, you'll draw the opportunity card [[You Appear to have Purchased an Extraordinary Number of Weasels of Woe]]. This will grant you the special accomplishment {{IL|A Woeseller}}.

[[File:Tiger.png|right]]

=== [[Bengal Tigress]] ===
During [[Hallowmas (Guide)|Hallowmas]], a Bengal Tigress can be upgraded to an {{IL|Extravagantly Titled Tigress}}.

In [[Parabola]], you can spend Bengal Tigresses to:
* (1) Upgrade your {{IL|Parabolan Defences}} from 2 to 3.
{{clear}}

[[File:Overgoat.png|right]]
=== [[Overgoat]] ===
The Overgoat has a much higher stat bonus ({{IL|Watchful}} +20) than any other non-Fate Companion (at most +10). Even Fate-locked Companions are rarely higher than +10, with only two non-goat exceptions at [[Smouldering Lexicographer|+11]] and [[Midnight Matriarch of the Menagerie of Roses|+12]]. It also has a correspondingly ridiculously-high cost of 11,712.80 {{e}}.

[[All fear the Overgoat!]] is a standard-frequency opportunity card in Fallen London, unlocked with {{IL|Watchful}} 100. Owning a goat unlocks additional options on this card, including:
* A pair of Overgoats can be upgraded to one {{IL|Übergoat}} at the cost of 1 {{FontFate}}. An Übergoat grants {{IL|Watchful}} +30 (as well as [[BDR]] +4).
** Elsewhere, you can spend seven Übergoats and one {{IL|Impossible Theorem}} to gain a {{IL|Heptagoat}}.

Owning an Overgoat (or Übergoat or Heptagoat) will add a standard-frequency card to your {{IL|Adulterine Castle}} opportunity deck: [[Caprine Authority (Card)|Caprine Authority]].

Owning a Grubby Urchin will add a very infrequent card to your opportunity deck that's only drawn in your lodgings: [[Your Grubby Urchin is becoming troublesome]]. This has various options, one of which grants {{IL|Favours: Urchins}}.

During [[Hallowmas (Guide)|Hallowmas]], a Grubby Urchin unlocks an option to gain a {{IL|Relict Catapult}} (a {{IL|Watchful}} +9, {{IL|Shadowy}} +9 Weapon).

If you '''also''' own a {{IL|Malevolent Monkey}}, owning a Grubby Urchin will add a very infrequent card to your Fallen London opportunity deck: [[The Urchin and the Monkey]]. This has various options, one of which grants {{IL|Favours: Urchins}}.

=== [[Alluring Accomplice]] ===
Owning an Alluring Accomplice will add a very infrequent card to your Fallen London opportunity deck: [[Overly alluring?]]. This has various options, one of which grants {{IL|Favours: Criminals}}.

If you '''also''' own a {{IL|Ruthless Henchman}}, owning an Alluring Accomplice will add a very infrequent card to your Fallen London opportunity deck: [[The Henchman and the Accomplice]]. This allows you to spend certain Favours to gain items worth between 3 {{e}} and 3.5 {{e}}.

During [[Hallowmas (Guide)|Hallowmas]], an Alluring Accomplice can be upgraded to a {{IL|Fabulous Accomplice}}.
* You can go on to marry your Fabulous Accomplice to get a {{IL|Platonic Partner in Crime}}. This also adds a very infrequent card to your Fallen London opportunity deck: [[An Afternoon Entirely Without Mischief]] (which gives 4.5 {{e}} of items, or increases {{IL|Casing...}}).
