Boo was never a true animal companion, he was always just fluff.

Minsc is a Ranger otherwise he would not have an Animal Companion in Boo. Only if Boo is real, and I like Boo better as living only in Minsc's head. If he's actually a companion, I'm hoping for Barbarian because I could use one of those for a tank instead of lizard lady. I don't have much use for a Ranger in my ideal party of 4, and I would almost have to take Minsc for nostalgia's sake if he's available. Boo is real, he's in his inventory and his portrait and appears in the comics he's been in and also there was a side quest to rescue Boo in BG2. But yeah, he shouldn't be an animal companion in the ranger sense. Just an animal, that is his companion lol

He is an item in Minsc’s inventory in both games, and other characters interact with Boo. Jan tried to steal him. This does put a dent in my plans for fully custom parties. I can’t leave Minsc behind. He is perhaps my favorite RPG companion of all time.

Nice find.
I never found any werewolves in my playthrough. Is she a Druid? And Karlach is a paladin? Karlach might be a blackguard, which is the evil version of a paladin.

Some of the paladin subclasses, such as Oath of Vengeance or Oath of Conquest, work well for evil paladins, though.

What happened is he took a knock to the head (his big purple mark is a scar not a tattoo), and became essentially a 'fallen Ranger' and lost most of his brain cells, but gained berzerker rage. Boo really isnt an animal companion... Anyone can buy a hamster. I have a lot of fondness for the character, but he was a ranger in name only, as they didnt have a barbarian class. The Folk Hero background provides Animal Handling and Survival skills and is perfect for him. Add in totem barbarian or something and he's essentially got everything he had in the original BG games. Minsc has a 6 wisdom in those games... I dont even think he could cast ranger spells in 5E.

I expected Minthara to be completing the group of evil companions. I assume that Minsc will not show up in chapter 1. If the assumption of having to part ways with all but 3 companions after chapter 1 proves to be correct that would indicate the possibility to grow the group again once a new camp in the new area has been found.
I sometimes use thought experiments. I don't necessarily believe in every idea I post for discussion on this forum

Boo is real. I just don't think he is really a giant miniature space hamster.

Not necessarily. She was an unwilling participant in the Blood War.

That is about Blackguard as an enemy, not a player class.

Those might be camp followers but they nothing suggests that they are full companions/origins

Sylvira is an scholar from Candlekeep. If they were going to add another companion, why would they add another wizard and another tiefling instead so something new?
