Well, it's a ferret. A breed of sable ferret to be specific. Technically the little guy can fight, though for the sake of attempting a modicum of realism with him (as opposed to Zwei), he doesn't go destroying Grimm or robots on his own. He's more support, there for either distraction for scavenging purposes.

I wouldn't say it's strictly necessary, though he does spend almost all his time with the character, so I don't know.
