I was just typing my story when the thought of a pet companion for my mc would be fun to add. Especially cute ones like a small fox or a bird. Then it came to me, what do other authors have as their pet companion for their mc so here we are.

A giant golden-furred spider the size of a small car. Said spider has only one eye (shaped like a camera lens) and communicates with a series of mechanical whines, the kind you'd heard from an old camcorder.

Due to its ability to take photographs of people's most happiest moments (usually in their time of need to make them feel better), the spider's name is Snap, named after the *snap* sound it makes when taking said photographs.

So, I'm using squirrel, octopus, and bear on three different occasions. Two as familiars as a dragon, the bear serving the boredom of an old and powerful alchemist.

I think squirrels aren't used enough, and while dragon is cliche, it works well for what it is, and works as a plot point for later down the line.

I don't think people do salamanders, newts, or skinks often enough sadly. Funny, considering how easily salamanders are conflated with fire.

In my main story, the main character has a pet named Facet, which is an animated (literal) bed of opaque, white, slightly iridescent crystal that has thus far transformed into five things so far: a doggie bed, a walking Ottoman stool, an abstract art-deco bird, a Medusa wig of crystal snakes, and a throne of tentacles.

That is really, really, reeeeeeally cool!!!

I did honestly think about giving sybil a magical salamander but the role was essentially taken over by a devil henchman born from an egg and her blood.
Closest to an actual animal sidekick is her mount Atlas, some kind of elk-wolf

I was thinking of giving my mc a straight up Veleociraptor a-la Jurrassic Park. With a caveat being it is utterly loyal to him and doesn't attack anyone without instructions

A cat that is a part of a hivemind formed of the animal kingdom that get stronger everytime a part of them die. My MC named them Charles, based on Charles Darwin.

You could say her pet is the entire animal kingdom.

From my fanfic, one has a cat as a pet while the other tamed a giant lizard.

From my original fic, the MC has a stuffed Dire Bear.

She's a necromancer, so she stuffed the bear and reanimated it's skeleton, making for a powerful but confortable companion to ride on... although battle often ruins the stuffing and it can get smelly, what with all the blood.
