Inspired by this here (http://www.commissionedcomic.com/?p=155)little comic, what kind of bonus would a platypus familiar give to his owner?

+3 to Swim?
+2 to saves against poison? (they've got poisonous stingers)
O, if they're ninja familiar's, +3 to hide :D

Believe it or not Dragon magazine has an article on variant familiars. One was the platypus. It was issue 341 pg.89. It has equivalent stats to a hedgehog and grants a +3 swim.

I came here to mention the article I co-wrote, but I see somebody beat me to it. :)

I'd love to have a copy of that, where can I purchase back copies of Dragon Magazine??? I have the CD collection that was released years ago... is there something like that in the works?
