See the thing is, I was wondering, if a 6th Level Druid with the Leadership can attract an Animal as BOTH a Cohort AND an Animal Companion?

I would suspect no, however I thought I'd ask anyway to see what others thought.

ZOMG ITS THE SUPERMOUNT.

There's some discussion about cohort companions.

Actually, more like dragon cohort mount companions, but you get the idea.

Yeah the reason a Druid would want his Companion as a Cohort, is that Cohorts gain levels. Imagine a Dire Bear Frenzied Berserker, or an AC with Devoted Defender levels, once around when you are hit the mount takes the hit instead, however with MC you can use a Ride check to dodge the blow. Just little tings like that, nothing too game breaking, just interesting.
