Intelligent Fuzzy-Wuzzy ally for Dragonbane.

The binturong, also called a “bearcat,” is adorable, mysterious, and smells like popcorn. Let’s turn that into a cuddly, intelligent companion creature perfect for whimsical, heartwarming, or even emotional storytelling.

Description:
The binturong is a large, black-furred tree-dwelling mammal with a long, prehensile tail and curious red eyes. This particular binturong is more than just an animal. It’s sapient, gentle, and magically gifted with the ability to understand speech and emotion. Often found curled up in satchels, perched on shoulders, or lounging by the fire, it’s known for its warm popcorn scent and purring coos. Binturongs bond closely with one individual, protecting them with fierce affection and mysterious intuition.

3: Popcorn Puff – Emits a calming scent from its fur. WIL roll or fall into a peaceful, docile mood for 1 round; only works on beasts or NPCs. Also opens the door for a Persuasion Roll.
4: Eye of Wisdom – Stares into a creature’s soul. Target must roll WIL or become hesitant and loses next action.
5: Distracting Chatter: If bonded to a PC, the creature or NPC attacker makes its next attack roll with a Bane.
6: Empathic Bond – If bonded to a PC, the binturong can transfer 1d4 HP of healing to them, once per adventure. The binturong loses the HP.
