Time for a trip to the magic pet store: Here is a preview of what will be

Clockwork Dragon’s Guide to Arcane Familiars

Familiars have always been an exciting prospect for me, but 5e’s handling of them is... well, lackluster at best. To that end, I took it upon myself to retool the familiar system and provide a suitable myriad of options for people seeking to keep and train a tiny magical companion.This supplement is still in progress, and likely needs quite a bit of play testing. The final release will have a total of 100 familiars, but quite honestly, I am burnt out on familiars, and want to work on another project for while, so for now please enjoy 13 new Feats, and the first 50 familiars in this extended preview.

 As a major notice on this bit of brew: the guide to familiars is still a work in progress, and I’m still in the process not only of adding new familiars, but also sourcing all of the artwork. I don’t do any of my own art, and I always try to credit that artwork back to the original creator. The final published release of this document will contain citations and sourcing for all artwork, but as ths is only meant to be a WIP preview so you all know what I have been working on, much of that is still missing, and will be updated as I work through it.

Preview images above are low resolution, and does not contain all 50 familiars. For the latest high-resolution PDF, as well as a whole host of other work I have done, check out this handy dropbox link. And be sure to tell me what you think!

Olivia: She thinks Chandra is pretty, and smart too. Likes hanging out with her.

Malak

Pearl: Oh no. Not this loud idiot. He’s ok but needs to shut up. Avoids Malak most of the time, he’s too loud.

Olivia: Can get thrown off by his loud caws, but kind of likes the messy raven anyway. Likes scritching his feathers.

Pepi

Pearl: Likes her, but is still a little careful not to get eaten. Soft cat uwu. Hangs out in Portia’s cottage sometimes.

Olivia: She adores Pepi. A soft sweet girl, yes please. Likes to see Pepi when she’s gardening.

Inanna

Pearl: Was a little afraid at first but has come to like her. Big friend!! Likes chilling on Inanna’s back.

Everyone has one. A creature that follows close at your side. Theres no certain age, your familliar finds you. Maybe a strange dog approaches you while walking home. Or a hawk flies in through an open window. It's something that represents who you are. The leaders get wolves, tigers, or lions. The strong get horses or bears. Those who are loyal get dogs. However, any animal is possible, mythical or not.
