Heismay is one of the most unique-looking followers in Metaphor ReFantazio, whom players will meet early on in Metaphor ReFantazio. He was a former knight of the Eugief tribe, which has a nocturnal race of members. Due to being a nocturnal creature, players will be ranking up their bond with this fluffy little fella at night.

He features a distinctive non-humanoid appearance, which has made him a victim of discrimination before he met our protagonist. After unlocking him as a follower, players will be able to study his unique Thief Archetype in Metaphor ReFantazio.
