I could, of course, probably reskin/retool an existing familiar, but I want to make something that feels distinct and unique. And I want it to be quirky, so as to fit with the character.   So, any ideas as to what benefits a Dodo familiar would confer? My first thought was vulernerable all damage, but that's certainly a no go..

How about: It was meant to be: Whenever your Dodo familiar is a target of one of your Area or Close powers, you gain a +1 to all attack rolls for that power.
