"I can't carry the ring for you, but I can carry you."
— Samwise Gamgee, The Return of the King

This month's competition is about companions, friends, and sidekicks—because they deserve the spotlight too! Tell us about a companion or friend of a major character who also had a big influence on the world.

Examples and inspiration

Sam Gamgee is the prime example of a treasured companion—Frodo wouldn't have been able to complete his mission without him. But he's not the only one! Other examples are:

R2D2 (Star Wars): how many times did he save the day? The answer is "many"!
Dr. Watson (Sherlock Holmes): he's the narrator of the story! If it weren't for him, we wouldn't be able to enjoy the detective's adventures.
Toothless (How to Train Your Dragon): the entire movie trilogy wouldn't happen without him and he causes an entire culture to change its values.
