🐺 About the GoodestBoy
> In the deep fog of the Black Forest, where roots twist like old curses and the wind carries whispers of forgotten gods, > a lone hound wanders — frightened, hungry, and searching for a kind soul to call friend.
GoodestBoy will accept nearly any food, but his heart belongs to BestestTreats, offered by hand like a true bond between warrior and beast.
⚔️ Features of the Bestest Dog
🪵 Fetch Like a True Companion
Throw the BestestBall and your hound will chase it with the joy of a pup discovering the world. Whether he returns it… the gods alone decide.
🐾 Whistle for the lost
Blow the GB_Whistle to summon your companion from the shadows. Be warned: all hounds within earshot may answer the call.
🍖 Hand‑Fed Loyalty
Hold a BestestTreat and press the Action Button to feed your companion healing him. A simple act of kindness, honored in the sagas of man and beast alike.
🌫 Spawn Conditions
