I'm DMing a game, and one character has a really in depth background for her Sidhe Druid Ghost Elf... I want to screw with the character a little and make her animal companion be a double agent for the devils. I was wondering if there was any way within the rules to make an animal companion a magical beast or outsider? Or would I need to adjudicate that as dm?

.. Ok, so let me get this right - you have someone who actulay Took the time to create an intersting character - with a back ground, and all - and you want to Punish them... rather then say .. reward thier effort?

Not punishing them, screwing with them a little...:-) Part of their background invited some plot hooks like this. Anyhow, the player was the one that mentioned it, but I don't want to tell her exactly what I'm going to do. Besides, the animal companion will be much more combat capable, thus helping the character, it'll just be a bit of a spy as well.

Just adjucate it as the DM. I'd suggest looking at the table for "Alternate" Animal Companions, look at their CR and capabilities, and then find your spy that has a similar CR/capabilities. Your give them a Balor :D I'm sure your Druid wouldn't notice :D

Alrighty, I'll just adjudicate, then.
