An animal befriended as a goal reward, run from an ordinary stat block under the adversary rules and controlled by the GM — it acts in your interests but never against its own instincts. It resolves 0 health as a third case, neither PC nor adversary: it falls Unconscious like a character but cannot choose to wake. Only healing to at least 1 health, or a recovery die rolled on a short rest, brings it back, and one left somewhere it cannot be safely recovered may be lost for good.
