Bump! in the night.

 

[Systole]

I dunno, Mark. I generally enjoy your contests, but I am just not getting inspired by this picture. It makes me throw up a little in the back of my throat.

 

[Mark Chance]

Ha! Well, let it mull. There's plenty of time.

 

[Mark Chance]

Well, the original picture I picked for this contest wasn't inspiring anyone, so I switched to a new picture and updated the dates.

 

[SteelDraco]

Haha. I had a vague idea for an underwater critter with a gaze attack, but it never really gelled into anything. The new picture looks interesting.

 

[Systole]

This looks promising. I can work with this.

This is written up as a familiar.

Master       Natural
Class Level  Armor Adj. Int Special
1st–2nd       +1       6    Alertness, improved evasion, share spells,
                                     empathic link
3rd–4th       +2       7    Deliver touch spells
5th–6th       +3       8    Speak with master
7th–8th       +4       9    Speak with animals of its kind
9th–10th      +5       10   Special attack: Warm fuzzies [su]
11th–12th     +6       11   Spell resistance
13th–14th     +7       12   Scry on familiar
15th–16th     +8       13   Special Attack: Distracting flight [ex]
17th–18th     +9       14   Special Attack: Breath hinderance [ex]
19th–20th     +10      15   Special Attack: Major sleep [sp]

[U]Warm fuzzies[/U] [su]: Just the sight of this familiar has an enthrall effect. 
To resist standing and simply looking upon the fuzzynator requires a dc 18 
will save.

[U]Distracting flight[/U] [ex]: This effect has the same result as a dog walking 
and minding his own business until a squirrel is seen. The dog responds by 
barking: SQUIRREL!!!

in this case the familiar flys about and opponents stand in place and say, 
"purdey!!" To resist requires a dc 20 will save to resist.

[U]Breath hindrance [ex][/U]: It flight becomes a weapon as it can shake off 
scales from it self as a fine cloud in a 10 feet radius. it will cause hacking 
and coughing to the point of inability to act, but not being helpless. Dex 
based abilities are also hindered. victim is flatfooted as well. This effect 
remains while in the cloud. dc 25 fort save to resist

[U]Major sleep [sp][/U]: The gentle flapping of the wings creates a restful 
sensation in humanoids within 30 feet that causes one to lie down and sleep 
on the spot. This sleep remains for 1 minute. dc 30 will save to resist. 
success still causes victims to only have one action due to grogginess.

 

[Mark Chance]

Ha! Love it.
