Monster Buddies

[Samloyal23]

I've seriously considered an Awakened tree of medium or small size (More a bush really) as a gardenkeeper companion.

Never considered Shocker Lizard, is there any RAW material about training one? Sounds like something that would be in a "Races of..." book.

If you cannot train it, then Awaken it and make it your buddy...

Nope, Magical Beast, not animal. That would be cool though, I'd name him "Twitchy". We'd totally hang out.

I was flipping through Forgotten Realms: Magic of Faerun and stumbled across the Beholderkin Spectator. I read the entry of this LN monster and thought this would be a great housemate for a PC's personal mansion fortress, should a PC ever have one.

I started imagining a Griffon aviary upon a high tower, a psudodragon stalking hallways for mice, (and of course domesticated Rust Monsters) and began wondering what other creatures from the Monster Manuals and such a PC might be able to befriend through diplomacy or other simple means and bring home.

What other monsters could you see passing by peacefully as you wondered the halls of your mansion home?

Warforged, MM3

Warforged, MM3

I hadn't considered the playable races. A Warforged roommate would make for a great co-crafter, my Factotum picked up Craft Wondrous Item at level 9.
