Bonded Beast

Bond with one willing companion, trained Beast, or GM-approved animal ally. The target remains its own creature, rolls its own initiative, and acts on its own turn under your control as normal for Jericha companions. While bonded to you, it adds your proficiency bonus to Animal Handling checks you make to command, calm, train, or direct it, and it can understand your simple verbal commands, gestures, and battle signals. You can have only one bonded beast at a time.
