[QUOTE="Dingo333, post: 5500887, member: 6672910"] For my eidolon, I typically go quadruped for its attacks, I find after its free bite, I buy a lot of tentacles, you get the evo improv dmg tentacles, the feat improv dmg tentacles, reach with tentacles, and you have a spaghetti monster smacking everything on the field. I am not sure what level you are looking at but once you reach lvl 9 he gains multi attack 7+str bite, 5+str tentacles. If you are worried about damage output, he is basicaly wielding 4 longswords at lvl 9 with a 10 foot reach. Magic attack and energy attack are great evolutions, increasing dmg output and bypassing DR. If you are worried because your DM throws varrious immunities at you all the time, use lesser evo surge to give him elemental attacks on the fly. As for size, I would stay with medium, if you are underground, the 2d6 tentacles may sound fun, but doorways wont be, above ground, stealth is the only issue so it depends on the situation. Grab and constrict are a nice combo, and when you have 7 tentacles, you wont care if one is tyed up squeezing a foe as the foe is also preoccupied. Web and breath weapons are nice if you are facing ranged enemies as your eidolon wont have to worry as much about reaching the foes. If worried about it taking damage, get lots of con, as this also helps its web, breath weapon and poison (tied to the free bite evo). A big spell to remember is Evolution surge, basically gain situationally useful evolutions on the fly, allows you more flexibility in creation and still be able to crush in pigeon hole situations.
