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

| Name | Animal | Likes to |
|---|---|---|
| **Shiro** | Dog | Chase balls and dig up bones. |
| **Stacy** | Unicorn | Sparkle, with a rainbow mane. |
| **Riti** | Pigeon | Bob along and peck at crumbs. |
| **Bubbly** | Hamster | Run on a wheel with cheeks full of seeds. |
| **Tom** | Cat | Be curious, with whiskers and a long tail. |
| **Jumbo** | Elephant | Flap 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.
