10 Coolest Canine Companions In Gaming

by Kenneth Cummings

1. Koromaru

Kk Before doge, Koromaru was the coolest Shiba Inu around. Based on the famous dog Hachiko (and Iggy, if you're a fan of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure), Koro-chan is a member of Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad, a secret organisation that hunts down the forces of darkness after school. Of course, Koromaru doesn't bite or bark at his enemies to defeat them. Instead, he summons his Persona Cerberus to attack his enemies with conflagration, or kill them instantly with the power of darkness. When that won't work, he relies on the knife he keeps in his teeth, which is just adorable.

"Koroamru earns the number one spot for gaming€™s best canine companion for being the only one with a Persona and social links. You can€™t exactly go on a movie date with Dogmeat. Sure, Blade Wolf has a chainsaw and an arguably better character arc, but Koromaru has social links and little angel wings! How can you compete with that?

Ken was born in 1994, and before the turn of the century, he was already a gamer for life, starting with Pokémon Blue Version. He has a passion for storytelling, especially in the gaming medium. Growing up on a healthy diet of JRPGs and point and click adventure games, young Kenny grew up playing Nintendo and Sony consoles, before becoming a snobby member of the PC Master Race. Nowadays, he resides in a time warp, refusing to believe the nineties ended as he fills up his Steam library with old point and clicks and cRPGs.
