Drone Follower

Avatar base not included, pictured for demonstration purposes only.

Not nearly as complex as those other popular suspicious followers.

This is just a simple physbone-based friend you can easily drop onto any avatar.

Please note that this is an Accessory, not an Avatar. It requires an existing avatar to add it to.

• Easy to add, no animations required
