Enhance Familiar (+2 to all saves, combat rolls, and AC), Fortify Familiar (+2 natural armor, 25% resistance to criticals), and Imbue Familiar with Spell Ability (who says that *I* cast that chill touch, heh!).All that without even looking at Permanent magics, magic items, and so on.  I can see slipping a ring or two on some of the eyestalks; maybe strapping a lens to one or two of them, and so on.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
