Wonder Boy in Monster World/Companions

During his travels, Shion will often be joined by a small companion who follows you around. Each companion is bound to the region he or she belongs to, and will return to their respective homes when you leave said region. All travel companions will also temporary stay out of action during boss fights.

Priscilla
A small fairy who hails from Alsedo, the Fairy village. She joins you when you talk to Queen Eleanora. Priscilla will randomly fly over to an enemy and bop him with her wand, distracting him. Also, when your health is getting low, she may conjure up a few small hearts for you to catch.

Hotta
A dwarf kid, who lives in the Dwarf village of Lilypad. He will follow you around when you save him from the bushmen. Hotta can break open some walls, enabling you entry in the nearby temple, as well as uncovering a couple hidden rooms in said temple. He also randomly digs up a fountain of small coins and hearts.

Shabo
A little summoned reaper, who you obtain in Childam, the Darkworld village. He will fly alongside you through the Ice Caverns, attacking enemies randomly with his throwing scythe.

The Elder Dragon's grandson
A nameless dragon hatchling, who will accompany you in Begonia, the Dragon village. He'll help you through the volcano, frequently attacking enemies with his fire breath.
