In the world of Elden Ring, danger and fear lurk around every corner. FromSoftware is known for designing enemies that are both vivid and ferocious, and Elden Ring expands their arsenal of fearsome monsters even further. Here are some of the most charming little creatures in Elden Ring that are so cute that you’d rather fight alongside them or avoid them altogether.
10. Oracle Envoys
When you encounter them, the first thing you think of is how do you fight a snowman-shaped opponent? Then you see, they’re blowing bubbles! So how do you become an Elden Lord when there are bubbles to blow?
It’s hard to defeat a friend-shaped enemy that looks like two large bubbles stacked on top of each other. Although their slow movement can be a bit annoying, Oracle Envoys will definitely find their place in your squad of besties.
9. Every Dog
Every dog in the game has the potential to attack you for no reason. But that definitely won’t stop you from getting a pet for your wonderful child. There are so many dogs and so many emotes in Elden Ring that it would be too much to not pet any of them.
Whether it’s regular dogs, wolves, Direwolves, or even friends of Funko Pop proportions, including Monstrous Dogs, you might even have your Runebear apply for a part-time dog status. You just want to help them fulfill their role as man’s best friend. Now you might choose a Runebear with a collar as your pet.
8. Merchant’s Donkey
Even though Torrent is treated like an immortal, god-like being, he can’t seem to bear the burden of anything other than Tarnished. But now Merchant’s Donkey is here, and it’s the coolest Alexander Warrior Jar you’ve ever seen.
Whether Torrent is as a mount or part of an Elden squad, in a game like Elden Ring that’s filled with unique items, managing your loot better will be crucial. This not only involves actual item management, but may also touch on using Elden Ring Runes to upgrade your character and gear. Torrent can also get some help from a friend who can understand his sense of humor.
7. Small Living Jar
Alexander Warrior Jar’s journey is full of beauty and inspiration as he travels across Lands Between and triumphs over powerful foes once thought unbeatable. But can you imagine? His achievements would seem even greater if Alexander was only a foot tall.
Players will be eager to see the story of Jar Bairn continue, as Alexander’s young nephew carries on his family legacy and embarks on his own adventures. If you can’t find a way to make this little friend a companion, you have a backup plan: develop a standalone Jar Bairn spin-off game.
6. Scarabs
These brave little insects are cursed to share the same fate as the great titan Prometheus, constantly suffering. Yet each one will take a place on your dream roster. In Lands Between, there are no nobler heroes than these tiny treasure-couriers.
Now, imagine having one of these little guys on your side. A future Elden Lord could send it on a cute mission to find supplies to aid your cause. It will also encounter adventures of its own. It can even throw balls at enemies.
5. Blue Worm
Few creatures have faces so expressive that they make those who observe them do the same. But Shadow of the Erdtree’s Blue Worm is no ordinary creature, and will have you staring at them for hours on end while mimicking a whistling face.
Blue Worms are more than just cute. They are an untapped treasure. Once they break free from the ground and can roam free, they will have unimaginable power. You will feel lucky to have such a beautiful beast by your side, even if only for a few moments.
4. Lookout Stones
If you haven’t read this guide, it will take you a long time to notice that these strings of rocks actually have an eyeball on the front end. This may be the only creature in Elden Ring that can blink.
Gravity-based magic attacks and shape-shifting abilities will definitely come in handy on Tarnished’s journey through Lands Between. Maybe they can even lead you to sneak into some secret Evergaols you haven’t visited yet.
3. Giant Lightning Sheep
It’s amazing enough when a sheep goes full: Phantom Menace Droideka mode and starts tumbling over a hill. But someone at FromSoftware must have seen from somewhere outside of real life to bring this oversized, fully charged giant sheep to Elden Ring.
You may wonder how some of them can get so big and why they can shoot lightning, but none of these mysteries really matters to you. Deploying Lightning Ram Ash of War and these creatures in battle is what really matters.

2. Man-Serpent
As soon as you see this guy, you know he’s the life of the party. His charming smile is enough to help him overcome any obstacle, although Mad Pumpkin Head may not appreciate it because the big golden gourd obscures his vision.
Honestly, when you first encounter a Man-Serpent deep in Volcano Manor, you’d think he’s just happy to see you. So when Man-Serpent wants a hug, you’ll want to respond enthusiastically, expecting him to respond with a scaly embrace. His ability to stretch might even help you scale walls.
1. Albinauric
Of all the beloved characters, Albinaurics are easily the most beloved. These unique Frankenstein’s Monsters are just as adorable as they are cuddly. With features like a Blobfish, an alien and a peaceful monk, their appearance is both bizarre and endearing.
Not only are Albinaurics incredibly cute, they’re also always ready for battle. They know how to strike a balance between fun and combat, and can even do cartwheels at speeds close to Torrent. More importantly, you can feel their love.
The world of Elden Ring is filled with fascinating creatures, each with their own unique charm and possibilities. Whether as a combat partner, a pet, or just a friendly face you meet on your adventure, Elden Ring ensures that there’s a surprise around every corner.
