This player was interested in bluff and intimidate bonuses. z'tal in previous edition gave intimidate bonus. they were lizards so equating them to lizards is easy enough they were immune to mental powers themselves so Z'tal Lizard Familiar Senses Low-light vision Speed 6 Constant Benefits You gain a +2 bonus to Intimidate and Athletics checks. You gain resist 5 psychic. If you already have resist psychic, increase it by 2. Your resist psychic increases by 2 while you are bloodied. Active Benefits Lizard’s Immunity: The Z'tal lizard is immune to psychic. Any more anyone? Previous 3.5 edition list is below: critic, lizard floater hurrum, speckled jankx kes'trekel -   athasian take on hawk? mulworm ramphor snake, tiny viper    - equate to serpent z'tal

Bat (In Arcane Power) Beetle (Probably the speckled Hurrum of 3e) Black Cat (In Arcane Power) Psuedodragon (Use Arcane Power's Dragonling) Rat (In Arcane Power) Scorpion Snake (In Arcane Power) Dragon Magazine also has some more familiars in 374 Weasel stats could work for Jankx, Oozes would make passable Mulworms, and Arcane Eyes could be used for Floater polyps. Other potential creatures for familiars could be: Baazrag (Use Dragon Magazine 374's Badger), Ock'n, Silt Spiders (Spiders from Arcane Power),
