Speaking of scavengers, these endearing but unstable rodents are excellent allies—provided they don't kill you for mistaking them for a threat. It would be an understatement to say that scavengers are jittery, and they become even more so when predators are approaching, as this is when they begin firing explosive spears in all directions. Fortunately, they operate on a global reputation system, whereby they gain favor by offering them pearls at various stores, tolls, or simply for fun. A lone scavenger may even join you for a bit and hibernate with you if you come across one in the wild. On the other hand, unless you want a harder playthrough, avoid hurting them or stealing their crap because doing so will make them actively seek you out.

Why not try taming a lizard if you're interested in creating an even stronger bond? One of these scaly boys will follow you around and may even hibernate with you if you feed him enough meat. The quantity of food needed varies depending on the type of lizard; however, towards the beginning of the game, the smaller ones aren't too difficult. They frequently fall off objects and can't follow you across regions, which is a problem. One of the small climbing lizards should be trained because it won't require much food and will be able to climb small objects.
