If you had a familiar, what would you choose and why?

I know it's a cliche but I'm going for a cat. They're small, but can travel a distance, can go places undetected and they're just adorable 😍

I'd go with a cockroach. Can fly, hide anywhere, survive anything, and report to me for juicy gossips.

A crow because corvids are intelligent, social, and sassy 🖤

My shadow. I have had to kill too many loved ones and I will never own an individual again.

Racoon, then it can help do things and steal shit for me.

I'd go crow or raven but for basically the same reasons!

If it isn't limited to, like, real animals, I'd want a faerie dragon from D&D.

Oh that is an excellent choice! I think I'll swap that for my cat

I was going to go with a helper monkey but I think faerie dragon is the best choice. Maybe a pseudodragon would be a good choice. An imp would be nice to freak people out as well as well as they can turn invisible.

Bernese Mountain dog for sure. I love those, and I know I would get along with it.

Polar bear, because people would leave me the fuck alone.

Canada goose. You know why.

I know it would be conspicuous but I would love a capuchin monkey so it could help me fetch things.

A weevil. They're so cute. And they can sneak around.....I guess if anything happened to them they could magically regenerate. Or a kitty. But might I also suggest, an elf owl? They're the smallest owl species. :D

I was asked this at work recently "as an icebreaker" and I'll say now what I said then:

a great big fuck-off raven
