[QUOTE="Sword of Spirit, post: 8367719, member: 6677017"] I not only allow them to do that, I allow anyone who can cast find familiar to use the spell to get one of those creatures (if found and willing) as a familiar, and allow them to be temporarily dismissed, and if they “die” they merely discorporate and can be revived by casting the spell again like with a normal familiar. That makes becoming a familiar actually a good deal for such creatures rather than a death sentence. My arguments that this is a valid interpretation (rather than house rule) is based on the sidebar on familiars in the NPC statblock section of the MM, and the Dame Flutterby familiar from Adventurer’s League (an imdependent creature, not just a spell summoned spirit, but who can become a familiar and gain the spell benefits).
