Background Notes

How does this sound (I have been working on this idea a few days): On the planet where they crashed, they find a young animal that resembles a german shephard with antlers (since he is young, his antlers are short). This young animal will act like a loving puppy, and is remarkable regarding that all five of its senses are heightened (similar to dogs, a dog's sense of smell is over 100 times as acute as humans). What they don't realize is that the antlers are really antennae, representing a sixth sense ---- the animal can sense the deepest feelings (even hidden), and can "know" when the party is in danger, and will attempt to communicate this fact (via barking, whimpering, etc.)

Also similar to dogs, the animals typically run in packs, but this animal is hurt and has been abandoned by its pack. But like most pack animals, he is fiercely loyal to anyone who befriends it, and will attempt to protect him or her from any danger, even by putting his own life in danger. It's fighting abilities are similar to a german shephard's, as well. It is four-legged and has claws and teeth like a dog.

What I would like to happen as the animal matures and its antlers grow out more is that it develops its sixth sense more ---- it might be able to not only sense feelings and attitudes ---- but to change them, without the source creature even knowing or understanding what is happening. It might even develop some psychokinetic powers ---- be able to move things at a distance ---- you could prescribe this ---- what are its limits, when does it happen, etc. Finally, it might even learn to communicate in some rudimentary English (of course, this would be limited by its speech apparatus, and the fact that the animal is not one of high intellect ---- it makes up for this by its incredible ability to understand feelings).

The key to the animal is that it operates by feelings, not thoughts.... it will not reason its way out of something. This makes it a nice adjunct for play as opposition to Sir Bridgehead, who is sometimes oblivious to other people's feelings. It is always motivated by what is happening to its master (or masters), so any new abilities are likely to manifest themselves when it involves such an individual.

I think this would be a fun character to play. I think that it would attach itself to whoever in the party befriends it first... which would not be Sir Bridgehead, who would urge others to ignore it, thinking it a waste of time (he's far too busy healing people.... then to tend to a measly "reindog".) The animal would probably be assigned a name by the party, but from then on would recognize its name.
As far as rolling the character, we might roll some aspects like strength, dexterity, and possibly 6 sense rolls, representing its abilities in each of its senses.... for example, if the animal has a heightened sense of taste it might be able to determine if food is altered (drugged or poisoned). Whatever you would think would be good to roll.
