All Fortnite Sidekicks List: Complete Guide to NPC Companions

You can trace Fortnite Sidekicks back to their official reveal on Oct. 30, when Epic Games introduced companions as a new cosmetic feature. The first release featured Peels, a dog-inspired version of Peely, available through the Chapter 6 Mini Season 2 Battle Pass.

Since that debut, you have seen Sidekicks become a long-term addition, with Epic Games continuing to expand the lineup over time. This article covers every Sidekick released in Fortnite, starting with the initial wave that arrived in November 2025.

All Sidekicks ever released in Fortnite

You can track every Sidekick released so far by looking at when Epic introduced them and how you obtain them. Sidekicks first appeared in late 2025 and quickly expanded into a steady stream of Item Shop releases.

Peels launched on November 1, 2025 as a Battle Pass reward. You did not need to spend V-Bucks to unlock it, which made it a common companion during its season.

After that debut, Epic shifted almost entirely to Item Shop availability. Most Sidekicks cost between 1,200 and 1,500 V-Bucks, with a few priced higher or lower depending on theme and crossover status.

Early November 2025 releases included Doggo Jr., Flopsticks, Lil’ Raptor, Cuddle Team Jr., Spike, and Bonesy. These Sidekicks established the standard pricing model and visual style you still see now.

Mid-to-late November added Plopper, Mothman Jr., Teacup Chi‑Pup, Itchy, and Dummy Dog. These releases continued the weekly cadence and reinforced the Item Shop as the primary source.

December 2025 brought the largest expansion. Leviathan Jr., The Best Cat, Phantom Guffpup, Doodle‑Doo, Lil’ Dill, Globey, Louis, Lil’ Lootie, and Groot all joined the lineup. You also saw higher-profile entries like Spongebob Squarepants, which arrived at 1,800 V-Bucks.

You access every Sidekick through cosmetics only, with no gameplay advantage tied to your choice.

Useful things to know about Sidekicks

You use Sidekicks as visual companions only. They never affect combat, movement, or progression, and opponents cannot see them during matches.

Core rules

• Cosmetic only: no buffs, perks, or gameplay impact
• Private to you: enemies never see your Sidekick
• One-time setup: you lock appearance choices after your first customization
• Flexible naming: you can rename your Sidekick whenever you want

If you want more visual options after locking a design, you can buy another copy of the same Sidekick and customize that version instead. This approach lets you keep multiple looks without changing an existing one.

Sidekicks launched in an early rollout with an initial trio, and Epic plans to keep adding more over time. You should expect regular appearances in Item Shop rotations, with possible inclusion in future Battle Passes.

Epic also leaves room for crossover companions tied to collaborations. Licensed partners could expand beyond skins to include recognizable Sidekicks, depending on future releases.
