What familiars would you like to see stat'd?

[jaldaen]

Hello all,

Awhile back I mentioned doing a familiars supplement and I'm getting into the homestretch... so my question to you is what familiars would you like stat'd?

What I'll do is make a concerted effort to include the top ten from this thread and if I have some more room I'll toss in others based upon the feedback here...

The Rules:

1) The creature must be of a CR rating 13 or less.
2) I am going to include the monkey and toad, so no need to mention them.
3) You get to list your top five choices... (afterall I don't want huge lists to read through).

Thanks,
Jaldaen

well, they do snakes, but i would like yto see something constrictor based instead of viper based..

dog(mundane, but for somereason not covered yet?)

scorpion

 

[Morpheus]

Iguana and/or"normal" lizard. Chameleon

The creature must be of a CR rating 13 or less.

I'm going to assume you meant CR 1/3 or less. Otherwise, let me have a Gray Render...

Seriously, I think that the chameleon and iguana would be a little different than your "normal" lizard. Perhaps a bonus to Hide?

Actually I mean 13 or less... as I have included extensive rules on how to summon improved familiars... That's right get your beholder familiar today!*

In light of this knowledge any other creatures you want to see?

*Some side-effects may be experienced as a result of summoning such a familiar. Satisfaction is not guaranteed... ;-)

Butterfly
Cockroach
Miniature Giant Space Hamster
Penguin
Falcon

The cockroach looks good for that gnome necromancer I've been thinking of...

 

[Crothian]

An Ooze familiar. I've seen elemental, vermin, undead, elemental, but never any Ooze.

 

[gamecat]

Ooze? Ewww, Crothian's wierd!

Roc
Rustmonster
Griffin
Basilisk
Blink Dog

I've got rules for them... but they are... high maintance to say the least ;-)

I want to second the Penguin. And the Kiwi. In my game we also have giant moths.

I would like to see some kind of homonculous-test-tube system for familiars- basically you choose a body, head, tail, legs, possibly wings, etc to make up a weird little unique composite pokemon creature.

Hmm.

Also the pig. The main NPC wizard in my game has a pig for a familiar named Tulip.
