General Rules: Feats - Exalted Companion

Exalted Companion [Exalted] (from the Book of Exalted Deeds)
Instead of an animal companion, you have a magical beast of good alignment.
   Prerequisites: Ability to acquire a new animal companion, minimum level requirement (see below).
   Benefit: When choosing an animal companion, you may choose a magical beast as shown on the table below. You must choose a companion whose alignment is the same as yours, so only a ranger or outdoorsman can have a blink dog, pegasus, or unicorn as a companion. Even though your companion is a magical beast, yon can cast spells on it as though it were an animal. The exalted companion has all the normal abilities of a typical creature of its kind, as well as the characteristics of an animal companion determined by the character's druid, outdoorsman, or ranger class level.

Companion	Alignment	Druid Level1 2
Blink Dog	Lawful Good	4th (-3)
Aspen3	Neutral Good	7th (-6)

Giant Owl	Neutral Good	7th (-6)
Pegasus	Chaotic Good	7th (-6)
Unicorn	Chaotic Good	7th (-6)
