Baldur's Gate 3 players shouldn't underestimate Scratch, as summoning him outside the camp costs nothing, and can easily help turn the tide in combat. Though companions in Baldur's Gate 3 represent the primary characters that accompany the player on their journey, other camp followers can also join up over the course of the campaign, with Withers perhaps being the most notable example. Scratch falls into the latter category, as he isn't a full-fledged party member. However, players can summon Scratch through a Find Familiar spell after progressing his personal interactions to a certain point.
