Beast Tamer SoSu
This is long and random but bare with me here
Sole survivor who is simply known as “The beast tamer” and they can tame pretty much any animal. Like they have a baby deathclaw with them at the time and it’s an albino and it will lay in their lap or curled up beside them all protective like because they are basically the mother to the deathclaw and all the animals they tame they treat like their own children. Like they’re known for providing settlements with protection such as pacified mirlurks if they live by the ocean, or mutant hounds to patrol the boarders.
The first time the companions meet the sole survivor aka “The Beast Tamer” they have their baby albino Deathclaw curled up beside them and a Mutant hound curled up behind them. They also have some regular junk-yard dogs with them, and some wolves from far-harbor too, possibly even a baby gatorclaw egg? Oh and we can’t forgot a couple of cats in the general area. Maybe even some birds? Like the sole survivor is just humming some lullaby to the Deathclaw and they’re just like “oh hello. What can I do for you?” All calm like they’re not surrounded by a bunch of dangerous animals.
Like I can imagine a Full grown deathclaw walking up behind them and acting like a big baby wanting attention and 10/10 the sole survivor would let Deacon name one of the deathclaw hatchlings Fluffy.
I can also see the BoS trying to recruit them because they could get even more powerful allies on their side. Even if they were abominations, however due to that notion the sole survivor wouldn’t side with them because that would mean the BoS would wipe out their animal friends.
And now, for a couple companions and what I think kind of animal they would get from the sole survivor.
Nick - Dogmeat or a Junk-yard dog, dogmeat would probably be his first pick and since he already knows dogmeat. But who wouldn’t want two dogs who can kick ass and help you track down suspects?
Hancock - he would probably try and convince sole he was responsible enough to look after some type of Claw’ but would end up with a super mutant hound instead and would end up loving it. The hound would be super loving too, of its new owner once its gotten use to them, and sole has taught Hancock the proper care. Or maybe even a snake if they managed to survive, ((just imagine Hancock carrying around this tiny little garder snake in his hand.))
Deacon - no secret he would want to keep the Claw’ he named fluffy but Desdemona would probably say no, but deacon would keep it anyway. Probably sneak out to meet Sole so the Claw’ and it’s mom got use to Deacon and knew it could trust Deacon with its child.
X6 - He would probably get some cats, he seems more like a cat person and the cats would definitely fit him. They’d probably learn to perch onto his shoulder and do commands (somehow this man has extreme patients) that would get the cat to do certain small tasks.
Preston - He’d probably be very hesitant about letting the animals into the settlements at first but after seeing how the kids like to the play with the dogs ((who are very gentle with the kids)) he’ll let them slide. Though personally I do think he’d probably like cats much like X6 does. But still loves to play with the Junk-yard dogs.
Maccready - absolutely not, he would be terrified out of his mind when he saw Duncan petting some Deathclaw sole had tamed. Oh god he wouldn’t want anything to do with them at first, but I think in the end he’d get a bird. Seems fitting for a sniper a birds eye view if you will. Maybe a crow or a raven, or a red-tailed hawk if they still survived. ((Bonus ; almost had a heart attack when he finds sole trying to teach Duncan how to tame the animals like Deathclaws))
Piper - some kind of marmot if they survived and it would probably be a Ferret let’s be real here. Nat would love it to death and much like Duncan might get caught taking some lessons from sole though Piper might be a little more forgiving if she got a five hour interview with sole.
