This mod allow to recruit Puji, the komato woman, as companion.

Obviously It requires the mod "NPC Adventures" as well as the [CP] Puji NPC, wich, i remind, works on Stardew valley expanded.

Puji is a Komato berserker, way stronger and faster than any human (or bear, or horse) it should not surprise that she can get rid of monsters or protect the player better than human companions.
