Befriend 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.
Powers
Befriend Animal (Initiate, Tolerance 2 OR Benevolence 2)
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.
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.
Attract Wildlife (Knight, Tolerance 6 OR Benevolence 6, requires Calm Animal)
Light power — Active
The Jedi can perform a 10-minute ritual that draws in local wildlife, which gathers around the Jedi over the course of the ritual and calmly waits to be befriended.
Companion (Padawan, Tolerance 3 OR Benevolence 3, requires Befriend Animal)
Light power — Passive
The Jedi gains an animal companion, a small creature that is a permanent friend to the Jedi.
Guide Companion (Knight, Tolerance 6 OR Benevolence 6, requires Companion)
Light power — Active
The Jedi can meditate to take control of the animal companion, which allows her to take action as if she were the animal companion. The animal companion does not gain any of the Jedi's abilities, but can take actions that seem extraordinarily smart to outsides.
Greater Companion (Master, Tolerance 9 OR Benevolence 9, requires Companion)
Light power — Enhancement (Companion)
The Jedi's animal companion need no longer be a small creature. 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.
