    ... that is, if it even looks like a chest. who knows? the winter theme may even turn it a giant lockbox/gift

    It is uncanny how accurate this turned out to be.

    I can imagine the Rust Monster and Mimic eyeballing each other (so to speak)
    wherever we go.

    To borrow kreatyve's idea, I might name them Rusty and 'Chester'.

    The only problem is, what do I ask for now? Spider Mimics? Clockwork Kittens? Something else?

    I never got to this point with my action figure request in Champions Online. They never gave me my kitten.

    Ask for a gelatinous cube companion next!!!

    As Jean Luc Picard used to say "Make it so ".... please devs.

    Can't wait for the first dungeon I do after i get my mimic , I'm going to open the first bad mimic I see so that I can watch them duke it out haha I'm guessing pet Mimic won't be able to hit as hard as the ones you find in epic dungeons though so mine will probably get splatted xD

    No no... gelatinous cube MOUNT, where you ride inside of it... just kinda floating around, and it takes you where IT wants to go...

    For some reason Mimics are the only monster that can turn my
    dungeons into slide-shows. Seems to happen in certain places -
    even if it's the only moving thing in the room.

    Can't imagine a battle having several companion Winter
    mimics fighting a real one! (Though the revenge does sound sweet.)

    Am hoping the companion version skips some of the 'dynamically shaded
    particle effects' or I won't be able to play. Looking for computer settings to
    help with, online atm.

    Still gonna get one if it kills me :D

    Bahaha, suddenly I have some dialogue running through my head ... "and we shall call it .. this land ..."how about we call it your grave" ... "ah curse your unexpected but inevitable betrayal" ...

    The mimic must have a debuff for Lolz ... It must!
    Is it finally a T5/U/T6 KDF Science Ship?

    Here are the stats of the companions (as well as a new zen store companion)

    Playing the devil's advocate here, not everyone can do the battles or whatever, to get the mounts and companions, and not everyone who does do them will get them. I ran every one of my characters during last event to get mounts and companions and only got one mount. Not a real fair system.

    On a brighter note, I'm thrilled for those of you who have been waiting on this and wish you the best of luck.

    If the Winter event is anything like the summer festival event, all you need to get mounts/companions is to put in the time to play, no RNG involved. :D Collect tokens/coins to exchange for them.

    Hmmmm.........
    It seems that my Male Dwarf GF will now be followed around by Bambi.
    This is a serious blow to my carefully cultivated image of extreme manliness.
    Is there any chance that it will be a BADA$$ Faun?
    Because I could totally see him having a bada$$ Faun.
    Maybe with machine gun antlers or something?
    Or it could breath fire!

    All joking aside, the Companions sound great and I may find myself having to rethink my holiday plans (sorry about Christmas, Mom and Dad, but Fauns!!!!).

    During the start of that video, the fawn is out as the active companion so you can see it in action.

    What you need, sir, is to start a petition for an undead faun. They did it to the horse, they can do it to the faun! =P

    Hardly, this in fact makes your dwarf even more hardcore since it shows he is willing to walk around with his dinner!

    Could be interesting. Turn the regen bonus into a life steal bonus. Turn the healing circle into a circle of decay providing a debuff to enemies. Still with the same happy go lucky bouncing around for movement.

    That fawn is adorable. Also really nice that it's a leader companion you don't have to upgrade in order to unlock its healing ability. Kudos for that.

    Maybe next Halloween...

    We could get Zombie Fawn, Ghost Mimic, Vampire Pig....
