FLUFF HEREBefriend Animal is a [[Force Power]]. It is sometimes called by other names such as Animal Friendship or Animal Bond. It is an expression of the force normally associated with the [[Living Force]]. It allows the Jedi to befriend and call on the help of animals. ---- Befriend AnimalPowers ---- **Rank:** Initiate, **Alignment:** Light \\ **Virtues:**[quote] **Befriend Animal** (Initiate, Tolerance 2 OR Benevolence 2 \\ **Type:** Passive2) //Light power — Passive// The Jedi can befriend local wildlife. Though limited in their understanding, befriended animals will try to help out the Jedi to the best of their ability and understanding within their natural behaviour. For example a befriended rancor might attack the Jedi's enemies. However, a befriended rabbit would not be able to operate a computer panel to open a door. ----[/quote] [quote] **Calm Animal** (Padawan, Tolerance 3 OR Benevolence 3, requires Befriend Animal) //Light power — Active// When facing a hostile or agitated animal, the Jedi can calm them enough to stop them from attacking, so long as the reason for the attack is ended. Thus, a guard dog would stop attacking unless its master was present and ordering the dog to attack.

For example, the Jedi could have a Guarlara, Ralltiir Tiger or even an Rathtar as companion. Note that not all animal companions are well-adjusted to accompany the Jedi to other habitats, this force power does nothing to assist with such issues. The exact companion needs to be proposed and approved. [/quote]
