Namco Bandai announced a new familiar for Ni no Kuni—”Draggle”—available free later this month.

“This domesticated dragon is a favorite family pet for its downright adorable eyes,” reads the PlayStation Store description. “This pampered little fellow never has to hunt for itself, but owners should be aware that it can morph into a dragette, and then either a dragamuffin or bedraggle, and that it can use Phantom Fangs or Hot Huff to defend itself.”

Kinda looks like a diminutive baby Charizard, to me. Wish I didn’t have such instant recall—I haven’t played, watched, or seen anything of Pokémon in well over a decade. Guess that stuff just sticks with you.

Ni no Kuni fans will be able to download Draggle February 12.

Namco Bandai also released a new trailer for the game:

Chris Holzworth has wanted to report on and critique games all his life. He first cut his teeth writing for enthusiast sites such as RPGFan, then took a break from gaming to study English, creative writing, and linguistics at Rutgers University. Started out as EGM's obligatory east coast correspondent before selling out and moving to the west coast. Chris is particularly keen on examining narrative structure, character development, and writing in video games.
