You can access a Creature's profile by clicking on the Getting Started Menu > Members Database, then either clicking on the bonded character's name OR clicking on your player name > then the bonded character under "Characters & Creatures". Click on the "Edit Creature" button to access the update section; this button will only show on Companion Creatures associated with your OOC name..

Update Costs

Some profile fields will cost coppers to update; they are marked on the Creature Profile Editor with a [c] that you can hover over to see associated costs. You will be automatically charged for changes to these sections when you finish updating the page, the total cost for the changes you are making can be found at the bottom of the page.
