The Small Cute Animal

Cuuute!

A little animal (most likely mammalian) who hangs out with the Hero or their girl friend and is commonly there Just For Show. If it has a real purpose for being on the team of the Good Guys, it'll be a Combat or Utility Animal or act as a Guide for the Good Guys. The Small Cute Animal behaves like how many other cute roles do: it's inoffensive, has a bit of a Comic Relief and Fix side, and sticks by the Good Guys' side through any hardships they have to put up with.
