Boss Companions Mod turns the biggest fights in the game into a chance to get a new friend. Instead of just picking up normal loot after you defeat a boss, you get a tiny pet version of that exact monster. These little buddies follow you around and jump into battle to help you fight. Each mini boss comes with its own special powers to make your adventures easier.
