Pina

Pina (ピナ) is Silica's «Feathery Dragon» and the first known monster to be tamed in Sword Art Online. It understands Silica's commands and will protect her in any way it can, as it is her «Tamed Monster». It is also present in ALfheim Online as her Cait Sith familiar.

Appearance
Pina is a «Feathery Dragon» with its blue body covered in soft, pale blue feathers and two long feathers instead of a tail.

The Black Swordsman (Aincrad 35th Floor, February 2024)
Pina became Silica's tamed monster after Silica fed Pina some peanuts she had bought.

After Silica got into an argument with her party member Rosalia, she left the party without even taking recovery items with her. She and Pina got lost in the Forest of Wandering, where, after hours of wandering, they were surrounded by Drunken Apes. Pina took a deadly blow meant for Silica and perished. Silica and her temporary companion Kirito, went to the «Hill of Memories» on the 47th Floor to obtain the rare pet revival item, the «Pneuma Flower». After they returned to town with the flower, Silica used it and successfully revived Pina.
