Scratch is the goodest of doggos and is one of the best companions in Baldur's Gate 3. The adorable pup can be found in Blighted Village pretty early on and will hang out at camp being all lovable.
During down time it's possible to play a game of fetch with Scratch, and when you're not around he will oftentimes bring over random items he has found during the day.
Baldur's Gate 3 companions are a big part of the game and players are quick to find their favourite

One player who goes by u/ID!OT_3RROR on Reddit took to the message boards to warn others when they accidentally got Scratch killed by playing a simple game of fetch.
The story starts "I was having a friendly game of fetch with Scratch" and then spirals into a moment of chaos. To put it simply, the player accidentally hit Scratch with the ball when throwing it. This caused Scratch to aggro, but he targeted the entire camp. "They slaughtered him before my disbelieving eyes." the user continued before letting out a scream of "OHNO HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?!"
The top reply was laced with sympathy as they said "Me too! I was heartbroken because Wyll fireballed my dog before I even knew what was happening." Baldur's Gate 3 has become know for these 'moments' where the AI delivers the best companion dialogue or causes them to act to very specific ways. According to other players, if you throw the ball after Scratch has died the other companions all have sad comments. This caused u/galavep to comment "I can't believe Larian even made dialogues for this scenario. They really have thought everything in this game."
Many players are wishing that Scratch came with an invincibility flag, or that the fetch ball dealt 0hp damage.
