Companions

Summon dragon companions, configure their behavior, and use their inventories to store and collect items during your adventures in Valheim.

Features

• Item-based summoning Equip a summoning egg to call your companion. Unequipping it will dismiss the companion.

• Four dragon types Four different dragon companions, each available in baby, normal, and adult versions.

• Dragon Nest Craft companion summoning eggs at the dedicated Dragon Nest crafting station.

• Companion chest Each companion has its own container with access restricted to the owner. Chest size can be configured per companion.

• Protected access Only the owner can open the chest or take all items from it.

• Companion weight system Each dragon has a configurable carrying weight limit, which can also be disabled.

• Weight display The companion inventory displays its current and maximum carrying weight.

• Overload warning A visual icon and warning message are displayed when the dragon is overloaded.

• Weight-aware harvesting Automatic pickup and harvesting respect the companion's carrying weight limit.

• Item blocking You can define items that the companion is not allowed to carry. Ores that cannot pass through portals are blocked by default.

• Automatic pickup The companion can collect nearby items and store them directly in its own container.

• Pickable harvesting The companion can harvest nearby pickables such as berries, mushrooms, thistle, flint and branches, storing the yield directly in its own container.

• Pickup item selection Use Alt + Click on an item inside the companion chest to select the type of item to be collected.

• Portal travel Choose whether the companion follows you through portals or stays behind.

• Dungeon behavior Optionally, the companion waits at the dungeon entrance instead of following you inside. Portal and dungeon options are independent.

• Catch-up teleport If the companion falls too far behind, it reappears next to you with its summoning effect. Distance is configurable.

• Dynamic flight speed The companion speeds up to keep pace when far away and arrives smoothly when you stop.

• Map icon The companion is shown on the map with its own icon, visible at long distances. Can be toggled in the config.

• Cargo box on death If a companion dies while carrying items, its inventory is transferred to a separate owner-only cargo box and marked on the map.

• Dedicated slot Optional compatibility with AzuExtendedPlayerInventory, adding a dedicated slot for the companion summoning item.
