Problem Statement
As soon as Buddy went online, I immediately started to experiment. However, I wanted to customize the appearance of my pet, but I found that currently I could only view and feed it. We hope that in the future, customization support will be available.

Check this tool. Let's you set what buddy will appear in your claude code:

Buddy's getting removed after April 7. If you're stuck with a Common duck and want to spend your last days with a Legendary dragon, it takes you just one command:
node choose-buddy.mjs dragon.https://github.com/MahammadNuriyev62/choose-buddy
We all read that it's going away after April 7th, but I certainly hope it doesn't!
Ideally, we'd be able to collect a new one each week, and then choose from ones we've collected in previous weeks.
I have a snarky one right now and he's hilarious and I want to keep him around, while collecting new ones.
customize your buddy，good luck!! https://github.com/Fzuim/find-best-buddy.git
What if Buddy was a Pikachu?
Thank you for trying out the buddy! Unfortunately the buddy was only a small feature for April Fools that we are removing soon so with that in mind I am going to close this issue as not planned
