:<nowiki>*</nowiki> Followers with a lower level cap (such as [[Jenassa]]) have higher stats ([[Health (Skyrim)|Health]], [[Magicka (Skyrim)|Magicka]], and [[Stamina (Skyrim)|Stamina]]) and skill points ([[One-Handed (Skyrim)|One-Handed]], [[Sneak (Skyrim)|Sneak]], etc.) per level than other followers with a higher or no level cap. For this reason, it can be wise to have a follower with a lower level cap up until your character exceeds their level cap, then trade your follower for another.

==Non-humanoid followers==
Non-humanoid followers can be used alongside any humanoid follower, which means that the Dragonborn can have one human and one non-human follower simultaneously. Most non-humanoid followers cannot be given items and thus cannot use equipment, the exception being Riekling.

Non-humanoid followers cannot be [[Marriage (Skyrim)|married]], become [[Steward (Hearthfire)|Stewards]], nor can they become a [[Blades (Skyrim)|Blade]]. But some of them do have unique interactions when your character tries to do something underhanded.
