Predatory Smile: The companion gains the Improved Demoralize feat and can attempt Intimidate checks to use the demoralize action with a DC equal to 10 + its level.

You gain Creature Companion Master (Alien Archive 3 140) as a bonus feat, even if you don’t meet the prerequisites. In addition, if you become unconscious, your active creature companion automatically moves in the safest manner possible until it’s adjacent to you.

If your companion is smaller than you, it instead provides you with cover until the start of your next turn.

You gain Creature Companion Virtuoso (Alien Archive 3 140) as a bonus feat, even if you don’t meet the prerequisites. In addition, if you become unconscious or otherwise unresponsive, your active creature companion can retrieve an item that you specify in advance. Your companion returns to your side as per rescue pet above, and once you’re out of harm’s way, they can place it in your hand. You’re considered to be holding this item when you regain consciousness.
