I'm not aware of any of those being available as familiars, so I would instead recommend that you take a Troll.

Oops, already have one!

I think it would be something like +2 to Listen and Spot checks for flying squirrel and +2 to Fortitude saves for banana slug. Flying snakes aren't animal type, so you can't get one, and it's slipped my mind what an echidna is, though I think it might be edible.

acturally the flying snake does exist just not as you probibly picture it.(It spreads it ribs while in the air as to glide through the air)

I apologise to you all for causing this to go further than it otherwise would have.

I have since realised that Abraham made his OP on April 1. Guess he got us all :clap:

just for future reference I often use the oponing line at the top to ask the question what would be the benifits of taking such & such as a famlier.

As a reasonably-balanced suggestion, since all of the other familiars give effects which mimic feats, I would have the echidna familiar provide "Improved Unarmed Strike" as a bonus feat.

dogs?(probibly the same as wolves,they are decended from the same stock after all)
moths/butterflies?
bees?
& mosqitoes?
BladeBoy

Dogs..perhaps +3 to sense motive? I know my dogs seemed to do that for me..
why not ask your DM? I mean, it's whatever they say..

Any wizard with a mosquito as a familiar deserves to die to the sting attack of that mosquito.

What are you asking for? ask your DM! If you are a DM, then decide for yourself, i mean, geez, it's not our choice, now is it?
