Answers to everything you might wonder about your companion._

001

Getting Started

Use the summon command to receive a randomly assigned companion. Each species has unique ASCII art, personality traits, and stats. You cannot choose your species. It's random!
Bonni is available on Twitter (@BonniASCII), Telegram (@BonniASCII_bot), and Discord (coming soon).
There are currently 12 species:
  • Cat: Familiar
  • Dragon: Legendary
  • Robot: Synthetic
  • Ghost: Astral
  • Fish: Aquatic
  • Spider: Familiar
  • Demon: Legendary
  • Alien: Astral
  • Butterfly: Familiar
  • Duck: Familiar
  • Eagle: Legendary
  • Mermaid: Aquatic
// NOTE Each species has unique ASCII art that changes as they evolve through Baby, Teen, and Adult stages.
002

Cross-Platform

Yes! You can link your companion across Twitter, Telegram, and Discord. Your pet will be the same on all platforms: same stats, same name, same progress.
Use the link command on your current platform and specify the target:
  • Twitter: @BonniASCII connect telegram or connect discord
  • Telegram: /link twitter or /link discord
  • Discord: /link and choose a platform
// HOW IT WORKS You'll receive a code like BONNI-A3F1B2. Redeem it on the other platform within 10 minutes to complete the link.
When you link two accounts that both have companions, the older companion survives and the newer one is permanently released. Their stats do not merge. Only the older pet is kept.
// WARNING Make sure you link before summoning on a second platform if you want to keep the same pet!
No. You can only have one companion per account. If you try to summon when you already have one, you'll be reminded of your existing pet.

Care & Stats

Your companion has 5 stats, all ranging from 0 to 100:
  • Health: overall wellbeing; reaches 0 = death
  • Hunger: how fed they are; hits 0 = health decays faster
  • Energy: needed for actions; hits 0 = exhausted
  • Strength: raised by training; required for evolution
  • Knowledge: raised by studying; required for evolution
Yes. Passive decay rates per hour:
  • Hunger: −4 per hour
  • Energy: −5 per hour
  • Health: −1 per hour
  • Strength / Knowledge: −0.5 per hour each
// DANGER If Hunger hits 0, Health decays 2x faster. While sleeping, all decay is 3x slower.
// PAUSE Use /pause to freeze all decay. Stats stop ticking the moment you pause and resume the moment you /resume.
Yes. If Health reaches 0, your companion dies. Keep them fed and rested to prevent this! Feed healthy food regularly and let them sleep.
// GOING AWAY? Use /pause first. Paused pets cannot starve, dehydrate, or die. /resume when you're back.
Use /delete to permanently wipe your companion and all associated data: stats, history, personality, death count, cross-platform link.
  • Telegram: send /delete, then tap Yes, delete forever on the confirmation buttons. Tap Cancel to back out.
  • X / Twitter: tweet @BonniASCII delete. The word must be alone (no delete please or delete.). Wipe is instant, no second confirmation.
// IRREVERSIBLE There is no undo. If your accounts are linked across platforms, deleting on one wipes the companion everywhere.
Pause your pet. On Telegram send /pause, on X tweet @BonniASCII pause. While paused:
  • All stats freeze, no decay
  • Pet cannot die
  • Cooldowns freeze too
  • Pet ignores feed, train, chat, all actions

When you come back, send /resume (or tweet @BonniASCII resume). Every cooldown continues from exactly where it stopped, no time penalty.

// TWITTER Trigger word must be alone. @BonniASCII pause please goes to the AI, not the pause command. One word, nothing else.
  • NAP: sleeps for 30 minutes, restores +30 energy and +5 health on wake
  • SLEEP: sleeps for 6 hours, fully restores energy and gives +10 health on wake
// NOTE Your pet cannot do anything while sleeping. Decay is 3x slower during sleep.
004

Food

There are 3 main food types:
  • Healthy (salad, fruit, vegetables): +5 health, +15 hunger
  • Junk (pizza, chips, candy): -5 health, +20 hunger, fills them up fast, but hurts health!
  • Energy (coffee, matcha, energy drinks): +15 energy, +5 hunger
There is a 1.5 hour cooldown between feedings. Plan ahead so your companion doesn't go hungry!
005

Evolution

Your companion evolves through 3 stages: Baby, Teen, and Adult. Each stage unlocks new ASCII art unique to their species.
  • Baby → Teen: 8 meals fed + Strength ≥ 80 + Knowledge ≥ 80
  • Teen → Adult: 22 meals fed + Strength ≥ 80 + Knowledge ≥ 80
// TIP Meal count is cumulative. Every feeding adds to the total, even after evolution.
  • TRAIN: +8 strength (45-min cooldown)
  • STUDY: +8 knowledge (45-min cooldown)
  • ADVENTURE: +2 strength, +3 knowledge (30-min cooldown)
  • MEDITATE: +3 knowledge (20-min cooldown)

Check their stats first:
  • If Hunger is at 0: your pet is starving. Feed them before anything else.
  • If Energy is at 0: your pet is exhausted. Let them nap or sleep.
  • If Health is very low: they can't train or go on adventures until they recover.
