Im trying to figure out what sort of familiar to have. What have others picked as a favourite? Did anyone have anything really unusual?
Thanks

The ever-popular toad is of course every munchkins dream...
In my piratecampaign, parrot was a popular choice. (Treated as if it was a raven.)
If you're going with the Improved Familiar-feat, the coolest choices IMHO must be a pseudodragon if you're a good-guy or an imp if you're playing a not-so-good-guy.

I loved the Mowz from Liber Bestarius. I did not want the Toad, but did want something that gave you a bonus. Mowz is +2 Dex.

I love the Raven. I've had a Raven, Owl and Toad as familures. I took the Own once because I was playing a CN Drow Necromancer and found a picture of a Drow with an Owl on his arm, and thought it looked cool, and took the Owl as my familure. Took the Toad once for the +2 Con 
Raven is my favorite though, its nice to have a familure that can talk, especially if your party gets seperated in a fight (you can have the familure with the rest of the party)

In some Dragon magazine (the Sorcery issue I believe) they had squirrels and mice and all kinds of cute very small animals. I really enjoyed my weasel as well, because I was playing a ranger/wizardish character (Arcane Archer)
The improved familiar feat is well worth it IMO, by the way. Makes your familiar a lot more useful, instead of an animal in a box.

Personally, I think you can't go wrong with a Bat. It can fly, it is at home in a dungeon and the Blindsight can be a lifesaver if you run up against invisible foes.
The last wizard that I ran was Gnoblin the Gnome and his familiar was Severus the Bat. Severus was the only survivor of the campaign.

I'll second the notion to look into the alternate familiars in the sorcery issue of Dragon. Lots of good ideas in there.
