You'll encounter three animal companions: Ricky (kangaroo), Dimitri (bear), and Moosh (flying bear). Each has unique abilities essential for navigating specific parts of Holodrum. Ricky can jump over holes and punch enemies. Dimitri can swim up waterfalls and eat enemies. Moosh can float over gaps and perform a ground pound. You can only have one companion at a time. If you find their respective Flutes, you can summon them at will. Otherwise, they appear in specific areas. Learn which companion is best suited for which environment and puzzle. For example, Ricky is great for the Eastern Coast, Dimitri for the Western Coast, and Moosh for North Horon. Efficiently switching between them is key to exploration.
