Genshin Impact players have quickly become infatuated with the \u201cLil\u2019 Buddy\u201d teaser trailer, which focuses on an incredibly cute critter as they venture through Natlan. This tiny two-legged creature accompanies the Traveler and Paimon, before getting distracted by a bird and following it around the new region\u2019s environments. While the trailer gives Genshin fans an early look at some new POIs and a deadly enemy type, it\u2019s the game\u2019s cute creature that has players collectively losing their minds. Posting on the official Genshin Impact Reddit page, the Genshin Impact community shared their thoughts on this little critter. \u201cCall me Nahida the Dendro Archon because I\u2019m already filing the adoption papers. Where are they?\u201d joked one player. \u201cI am ready to die for this little burrowing dragon-thing,\u201d wrote another Traveler. Other players were also keen to highlight how his \u201cchonky\u201d size just adds to the cuteness even further. \u201cOh lawd he comin\u2019. So chonky, so cute.\u201d Fortunately, it seems this \u201cLil\u2019 Buddy\u201d will serve a purpose in the Natlan update and is more than just a cute critter. HoYoVerse noted the following underneath the preview trailer: \u201cA new adventure brings new buddies. Though this lil\u2019 buddy is still a youngling, he will do his utmost to accompany you on your journey.\u201d It\u2019s also interesting to note, that the people of Natlan have a tradition of keeping Saurian (dragon) companions. We also got to see some Saurian gameplay in the first Natlan teaser, with the \u201cLil\u2019 Buddy\u201d shown burrowing underground and effortlessly scaling walls. So, we can expect to see more of this pint-sized dragon when Natlan releases in the Version 5.0 update, which is expected on August 28, 2024.
