Companions

Shiro, Stacy, Riti, Bubbly, Tom and Jumbo: the pixel animals that keep you company on every screen.

On this page

Escanor has a small pixel companion. It runs while something is loading, sits and sniffs about when all is quiet, falls asleep when nobody has touched the screen for a minute, and shows up on empty screens to say what is going on.

Meet them

NameAnimalLikes to
ShiroDogChase balls and dig up bones.
StacyUnicornSparkle, with a rainbow mane.
RitiPigeonBob along and peck at crumbs.
BubblyHamsterRun on a wheel with cheeks full of seeds.
TomCatBe curious, with whiskers and a long tail.
JumboElephantFlap big ears and swing a gentle trunk.

Each one has six scenes: running (loading), sniffing (looking something up), digging (digging up history), sitting (all clear), sleeping (waiting), and licking the glass ("say something").

Choose one

  • Phone: Settings > Companion.
  • Website and desktop: Settings > Companion (personal section).

The choice is saved on that device and applies to every screen there. It changes nothing about how Escanor works.

Where you see it

  • A small one in the corner of every screen.
  • In place of every loading spinner.
  • Large, on screens with nothing to show yet (no approvals, no machines, no activity).

If your device is set to reduce motion, the companion shows a still picture.
