Although I do sympathize with the argument about the description of companions. I personally would like to see other things with them made a higher priority, specifically something that has come up a few times.. Why cant the larger companions drag our bodies, if not back to town then at least to some safe spot, and why cant the rodents or avians perform as all the other spirits or familairs and run to town to tell someone where there rangers body is.

Yes how companions look is important, but I would prefer not to decay because no one can find me, or to make sure someone knows im dead an need help over most other issues.
