Base
Black Forest, Germany (formerly)


Ganymede is a bird from the Black Forest in Germany, and the companion of Bastion.

Story

Ganymede was building a nest on the shoulder of a fallen Bastion unit when it inadvertently reactivated it. Ganymede followed Bastion as it traveled through the forest until the gunfire-like sound of a woodpecker caused the omnic to reconfigure into combat mode, using its minigun to blast the surrounding forest with gunfire. The nest was destroyed and Ganymede was nowhere to be seen, likely leading Bastion to believe that it had been killed. Ganymede survived, however, and later caught up with Bastion as it was marching towards Stuttgart. With the bird's offering of a twig to rebuild its nest, Bastion snapped out of its destructive programming and returned to the forest.[1]

Trivia
