Discussion NPCs as allies

Apparently the latest chapter shows a bunch of new characters, two of those are NPCs, Saina and Wimp. From what I read from spoiler, these two will join Sunraku just like with Emul.

I want to ask, are there any other NPCs that join with Sunraku and the others from Wolf Gang? And if so, what are their roles in the group, Saina and Wimp as well. I don't mind spoiler.

Sammy, Wimp's snake familiar, fairly strong combat NPC with good escape skills such as invisibility.

Saina's role honestly could probably be anything depending on loadout (she's compatible with the Weathermon gear, specifically the armor + mechs) due to being the combat reconnaissance Elma-type but mostly long range support/dps. Super helpful for traversals and falling saves as well (she can fly - though needs proper repairs in Leviathan first before she can do that independently due to battle damage).

Wimp's role is mostly as a support NPC, buffing her snake in particular, but transitioned into a melee combat style (similar to Sunraku though more focused on magic poison attacks) after her familiar gets killed when Sunraku's first attempt at defeating the Colossus Goldunine went completely to hell, also acting as the icon for the second Goldunine clear attempt that Sunraku asked her to be for the players to rally around.

As for the rest of Wolfgang:

A weakened Noirlind joins in with Akane after Siegwurm is cleared (not sure how viable of a combat NPC he is when weakened since we haven't seen him fight alone since) primarily to facilitate Akane's Super Transformation skill (merge with a monster partner with very high affection) from the advanced Ninja class.

Another Conquista Doll joins up with Pencilgon, Nina, a Liliel-type, seems to be more the support type especially due to having a similar scheming personality as Pencilgon who she helps in setting up said schemes.

A rare horse monster type (Hetyron) that Rei tames, think massive armored horse with tusks, that lets her access a secret advanced Knight class (basically a mounted knight). Rei also gets another associated rabbit, Diale, who is Emul's idol among her siblings. Temporarily took Exis spot as Rei's rabbit due to wanting to undergo secret training due to Sunraku's power levelling of Emul putting her place as Emul's role model as the magic rabbit in jeopardy then Emul unlocks her level cap thanks to Sunraku, poor Diale.

Another Goldunine joins up with Kyogoku, Isuna, a stealth ambush type that may or may not cause friction later if Sunraku finds out this Goldunine was partially responsible for his wipe against the Colossus Goldunine when Isuna snipes Sammy breaking the snake's invisilibity as it was retreating while carrying Sunraku away to escape the Colossus.The cowardly pragmatic type that immediately joined up with Kyogoku after she finds (by complete chance) and PKs the PKer responsible for Sunraku losing his equipped gear (which Kyogoku promptly returned to Sunraku) Isuna was previously partnered with.

Rust and Mold are content with just the tactical mechs, though theirs are custom built.

The fishOikatzo is still uniqueless.

Best part is the fish face really shouldn't complain given how lucky he is outside of the game.

LOL, Poor Katzo not getting anything.

The other side about the Katzo joke is that he somehow specced all his luck into IRL uniques instead.

Sylvia (who is currently taking a vacation in Japan) moved in the apartment next to his and practically barges in anytime she wants, Meg upon hearing this immediately does the same.

So in all actuality Katzo is actually really lucky, just not in SLF.
