10 Canine Companions In Video Games That Stole Our Hearts

6. Mr Chew - Borderlands 3

Fable 2
Gearbox Software

Skags get a bad rap throughout the world of Borderlands. They are among one of the first enemies that you fight, can spit anything from electricity to Acid and can vary in size from little pups to a size that could swallow you whole. But in the end, they are just the dogs of Pandora, Sure like everything in Pandora they are hardened killing machines, but that’s not their fault, maybe they just want a cuddle?

There are many characters you can choose from when starting Borderlands 3, one fan favourite is FL4k. This robotic hunter has a starting ability is called “Guard Skag.” This summons a friendly companion skag that will accompany you, and of course, can be set on your enemies. His name is Mr Chew.

This lovable scamp of a companion has other abilities as well, he increases the damage that you cause and can spit acid at your enemies on command. Many may be put off at the start by Mr chew. By our standards, he’s not the prettiest of dogs, but once you see him role over for a belly rub as acid drips from the corner of his mouth, I’m sure you will want to give him a home.
