Companion Mort

Companion Mort is obtained by reaching a high level of trust with Thanatos, and then gifting him Ambrosia.

Using Mort in battle will summon Thanatos to aid you. He will appear briefly and deal 3500 damage in a wide, circular area in front of you after a delay. The AoE damage is of the same style as the delayed AoE attack utilized in Thanatos' encounters.

Mort cannot be used outside of combat encounters, during a Thanatos encounter, or while fighting Hades. Hades will eventually grant the authority to use Mort against him.

Like other Companions, Mort can only be used once per combat encounter, and up to 5 times per run (upgradable with Ambrosia) or more if the Night Spindle is bought from the Well of Charon.

Additional notes

 * Once Zagreus forges a bond with Thanatos, the text becomes "From Thanatos, closest colleague" or "From Thanatos, cherished partner"
 * It's implied in a conversation with Thanatos that Mort was a childhood toy of his. Zagreus recalls that Thanatos lost Mort long ago, but has seemingly found him since then.
 * The name Mort itself has multiple meanings in context.
 * In French, 'mort' is 'death', Thanatos' role.
 * Mort's small size invokes the phrase 'la petite mort', which refers circumspectly to achieving orgasm, or 'the little death'. This may imply a possible explicit relationship with Thanatos.
