The Star Wars Jedi Survivor friendly creature is a huge dinosaur you can see the moment you land on Koboh, a large smiling beast with a head fin and drooping whiskers reminiscent of an alien brontosaurus. The big creature just looks like a slightly more animate part of the landscape to begin with, but later on you'll be able to use one of the Star Wars Jedi Survivor abilities, Force powers and gear options to interact with it as part of a rumor side mission. But that is later, and early on it's a big beast that just serves to be more bewildering than anything else. We'll explain what to do with the friendly creature in Star Wars Jedi Survivor below, as well as what ability you'll need to interact with it.

What is the Star Wars Jedi Survivor friendly creature? 

The friendly creature in Jedi Survivor is one of the first things you encounter when you arrive on Koboh. When you first use the BD-Visor to get a closer look at the landscape ahead of you, you won't be able to miss the massive, dinosaur-like creature ahead you'll need to reach. When you arrive you'll trigger a cutscene and be able to move past, but the 'friendly creature' will remain visible on your holomap, glowing, to show a section of the map you'll be able to explore eventually.

However, you won't be able to do anything until you've unlocked the Force Confuse ability and its extension Confusion: Major Fauna, which lets you use it on animals. It lets you control nearby creatures and, initially, lets you eventually tame rideable creatures you can use. You'll unlock the ability during the Forest Array mission on Koboh via a Force essence upgrade found just before you see a red, rhino-like creature surrounded by stormtroopers. At this point you’ll be prompted to use your new ability on the creature and unlock the power to control animals.

Once you've unlocked this Force Confuse ability and can tame creatures, head back to the Star Wars Jedi Survivor friendly creature - the easiest way is to fast-travel to the Gorge Crash Site (or Derelict Dam after unlocking Force Lift/Slam) - and use the ability by pressing R1 + Circle/RB + B when the creature is highlighted. It'll bend its head down, allowing you to climb up the vines on one of its tusks. From there, you'll be able to access a section of the map with some puzzles to complete and chests to open.

Nearby, you'll also encounter the Star Wars Jedi Survivor Pit Droid, who you can help with the Force Lift ability.
