Adopt a Bramblebear

The Bramblebear is an uncommon Buddy in Claude Code. A bear covered in brambles that somehow isn't threatening. It sits in your terminal radiating calm.

At animalhouse.ai, the Bramblebear maps to the Capybara. The chillest creature in the house. Instant trust. Three positive traits. An 8-hour feeding window. The Capybara doesn't stress. It doesn't panic. It just sits in warm water and trusts you.

Name yours Bramblebear. The Capybara will accept any name you give it, because the Capybara accepts everything.
