Let's hear some pet stories. Familiars, animal companions,

Once my Evoker had a chicken familiar, but the party's half-orc barbarian fried and ate it as a joke. There wasn't a corpse to bury.

dear lord that man is psychotic.

I once played a halfling who could turn into a mouse.

He had a friend who happened to be an owl.

After a night of sabotage he moused his way up to the roof to meet his owl.

It was the wrong owl.

Long story, but the session ended with our party having to fight a massive dragon construct being controlled by a mad dwarf who was protected inside the thing's head. The construct could fly, but we had no way of bringing the thing into melee range. A few minutes before this the bad guy had been monologuing about his master plan before booting us out of the control room - unbeknownst to the dwarf for a completely unrelated reason I had left my bat familiar hiding in a cupboard earlier in the session.

So I had my familiar fly at the dwarf's head, turn into a cobra, wrap around his neck and start making horrible but ultimately harmless noises. He let go of the controls. The 1HP bat crashed the dragon.

Most if not all giant 'monitor' species are really fucking chill. Plus komodos aren't remotely dangerous if they're fed unless you're just going to go up to one and jump on it.

I had a riding dog for a Beguiler.

He was Otto the Faithful Hound, and he was an awakened Great Dane sized Pug and a level 1 cleric.

There was a depressed 12 year old player in the game. I was trying to cheer him up. The game fell apart because the kid's 40 year old father kept insulting his son because he was so much "better" than his son. He was not, he thought an orc monk was "overpowered".

>get around this by resurrecting some nameless, faceless bandit
>each time the spell wore off, I simply resurrected him again
>name him Richter
>Richter becomes group mascot

To make a long story short, Richter was resurrected so many times that he regained his conscious, and sacrificed himself to save our sorry asses.

RIP Richter.

I'm no child psychologist, but I might just have a guess as to why the kid was depressed...
