- Small breeds of gryphons like blue jay/house cat
- jackalopes because it's just a rabbit with antlers
- small drakes, they are just dog sized lizards
- with little bit of magic they could have a fish in a floating bubble of water follow them around
- elemental salamanders

Hermits and wizards might have
- giant spiders
- small chimeras
- homonculi

For higher social status people they could have more exotic pets like
- pseudo dragons
- fairy dragons
- tamed small hydras
- de-clawed cockatrice

You could also magic up some of the more mundane pets.
>Semi aquatic cats with scaly skin and fins. They can be kept in a house but require ready water access.
>Long legless dachshunds which slither around like snakes. They wrap around those they show affection to rather than licking them.
>Brilliantly colored koi which "swim" through the air. They can recognize faces and often beg for food.
>Medium sized tortoises which carry soil on their shells for camouflage in the wild. Owners often grow small moss gardens or bonsai on the turtle's backs.

>Ferrets which are uncanny in tracking pests, able to sense rodents through walls and appear directly within the tunnels of their prey. They possess a weaker version of the blink dog's blink ability.
>Large white doves which blunt hostile intent in a 21ft radius. Although they do not protect from determined or ranged attackers, the birds are often kept as good luck charms.
>"Teacup pigs" that actually remain small their entire lives and are not just malnourished pigs.
>Small chickens with fluffy, downy feathers. They do not crow, and petting them reduces stress.

>Scruffy green canaries which are immune to poisons and toxic gases. They will sing a single repeated note when exposed to levels of gas which would near lethal to a human being.
>Attack fish. Large bettas which "swim" through the air and attack on command.
>Magical toads which bring good luck to their owners. However, the luck is mostly good from a toads point of view, so it results in surprise rain showers and large numbers of insects.

> Goat sized snails which will eat nearly any plant material they can find. They are often used to clear away thorny or otherwise noxious vegetation. Big enough to hug. They taste delicious when cooked but their shells are strong and heavy.
>Guinea pig sized crickets which reproduce rapidly. The meaty insects make a fine meal, but are more often used as bait or a distraction when facing larger monsters. The crickets can be fed on grains and taught tricks.
>Small plant eating alligators with a demeanor similar to tortoises. They have abnormally strong scutes and hug the ground when threatened.
>A large red frog which releases a sweet smelling scent from its mouth. The scent proves irresistible to mosquitoes, gnats, and other insects, and they are quickly devoured. In insect-poor environments they can be fed finely chopped meat.
>Furry pink boa constrictors which are often worn around the neck as fashion item. Sedentary and with little constricting power, they rely on humans for food and protection.
>Medicinal leeches which drink diseased blood, cycling the healthy blood back into the body. They differentiate their owner based on a "secret code" of pokes and taps which cause the leech to become docile.

>Geckos with large colorful eyes and an iridescent sheen to their silvery skin. Created to hunt down and devour fey pests, the geckos are not fooled by any kind of glamour or magical invisibility. They are effective predators of weak fey such as mites, atomie, and killmoulis.
>A brightly colored frog covered in ever-shifting patterns. The easygoing amphibians are often kept in display tanks for their aesthetic appeal, but if threatened will spit a chemical which can cause disorienting hallucinations in those hit.
>Non-venomous snakes which absorb ambient heat from the environment, rendering their surroundings several degrees cooler than the area norm. Used as a form of air conditioning in desert countries.
>Chameleons which flush bright pink in the presence of demonic entities. Also used to devour pesky biting insects. Demonic insects won't come within 100ft of one of these lizards.
>Fuzzy tarantulas with tough exoskeletons. Although dangerous to insects, their venom is harmless to humans. Resistant to biting, crushing, and pulling, these harmless yet robust spiders are often used as children's toys. They have been bred into a variety of colors.

A pet caterpillar the size of a daschimd. No longer breeding to forage for food they are very open to snuggling. Up to halfway through their cocoon process they respond to being spoken to with cute gurgles and humming. Upon becoming butterflies they retain no memory of their past life but are completely pacifist. Some religions keep them as examples of what the afterlife is like.

Lantern squids. Despite the name it is actually an octopus from another plane. Glows different colors and is about the size of a baseball. Typically resides in a special glass jar filled with sustaining liquid and worn hanging from the owners neck.

Some households create glass tubes allowing the "squid" to travel between lanterns in different rooms. Feeds off music.

A parrot sought after by sailors. Black with spots like stars this parrot seems to have an uncanny sense of danger at sea, sounding an alarm when storms or large sea creatures are near. This sense triggers even when the bird is in the bowels of the ship but most sailors suspiciously try to give them as much fresh air as possible. Rumor has it they can speak with dolphins.

Despite this they originate on a misty rainforest plateau far into the interior of one of the southern kingdoms, far away from the sea.

A mischievous shapeshifting creature with an emphatic sense and ability to teleport. It's abilities make it quite a match for rambunctious or energetic children who it enjoys for their simplistic and pure emotions.

Despite its mischievousness the pooka has a rigid sense of fairness and proper behavior. It often comes up with ingenious, though physically harmless, punishments for its playmates by typically shocking or shaming them to see the error of their ways.

Among the nobility, several exotic pets have a history of being kept. While the majority of the nobility keep a stable of horses and a pack of hunting dogs, and perhaps even a falcon, those with the money may expand into the more arcane beasts.

Harpies are often used in place of falcons. It is well known that the common Spotted Harpy has a diet most similar to man, and is thus easy to care for, and is intelligent and affectionate. The Blue Harpy's brilliant plumage makes them a popular choice among those able to afford the expense of importing them from the Ironbones, although aspiring pet-owners should be warned that Blue Harpies lack intelligence and have been recorded committing suicide by flying into keep walls. For those with the money to purchase from Dahkhest, the Plumed Harpy comes highly recommended, although Plumes are often conceited and may not show as much affection as desired, not unlike the housecat. They are very easy to care for however and have bright red and gold feathers guaranteed to make a splash at parties.

For the equestrians among you, the Unicorn is a extravagant but popular choice. Domesticated Unicorns are no longer adverse against the impure of heart, but they still need to feed on sungrass, so remember that a hay-only diet will kill your Unicorn. Remember also that Unicorns can be violent when startled, and the number of deaths from Unicorn attacks out-paces sharks in most years.

And finally, for those of you wishing for a little extra spice for your menagerie, we also offer Medusa, complete with shipping, and we'll set up the terrarrium for free. Our medusa are sold complete with hood, and are quite tame. WARNING: Removal of hood may result in petrifaction and death or injury. Do not remove your medusa's hood. If you discover your medusa has removed its own hood, or discover one of your household has been petrified, contact Animal Control immediately. Proper maintenance of medusa enclosure is responsibility of owner.

Salamanders.

This creature from the plane of fire is a popular pet amongst rich in the north. When fed a large meal the salamander goes into a food coma and their temperature drops to a point where they are comfortable to touch while being warm enough to keep an adult warm.

Very popular bedmate during long winter months.

Rainbow tailed Coatimundi.

Rainbow tails are an uncommon magical mutation of the extremely common coatimundi in jungle climates. When threatened releases a prismatic blast of light that temporarily blinds predators. When playful however this defense mechanism causes small rainbows to appear in the area. Also has the capability to magically clear up water. Very popular amongst greenhouse owners with fish pools.

Requires a steady diet of fresh fruit, reptilian flesh and insects. Known to hunt with its prismatic blast. There are a few instances of them hunting rust monsters.

VERY sociable but not much of a cuddles. Prone to soothing distraught owners by patting them with their hand like paws and nuzzling them with their snouts.

Can be destructive with their curiosity. Plan accordingly

DEEP CROWS MAKE EXCELLENT PETS.

Toy Tapir

Created by a wizard these tapirs are the size of small cats. Shy but affectionate these animals rarely make any noise but are prone to snorting when excited.

They quickly became popular among southern wizards who use them as familiars. Some breeds are raised to track down magical components like fairy rings and magical plants.

Others have a minor illusion effect that causes people's eyes to slide away from them. This is effective even creatures who normally see invisible creatures have a hard time seeing them as the tapirs are technically completely visible.

Some wizards have bred these traits into full sized or giant tapirs who are used as beasts of burden.

Made me think of this: http://clarkesworldmagazine.com/johnson_01_15/

The Apartment Dweller's Bestiary,

Little descriptions and stories (very short, like a few paragraph apiece) about various little strange creatures, which generally resemble little fairies/brownies, in that they live around your place, and do stuff for you.

Some definitely remind me of the way people get on with a cat or dog, and then you have the "intelligent part" like, yeah, your relationship and the way it looks might be "weird looking cat" but say, it has better taste in high culture than you do and holds your choice in classical in contempt.

Actually the one that's critical about taste isn't completely catty. The really catty one is also contemptuous of it's surroundings, because it was used to caviar, etc, and it's clearly smart enough to be knowing about it. It was abandoned at a shelter or something.

>>54340639
Yep, I was basically thinking of the Domovoi.

But >>54321540 kinda gets me thinking about making the 'House Spirit' more than just a clone of that. Even drew a little bit of what I think it would look like with a physical description, but that'll be later since the description is stupidly long to put in this post with other crap.

House spirits originally lived in forests (and possibly grasslands), digging neat burrows or claiming caves as their own. It's theorized that they may not have started as such, but at some point they supplemented their diet with faeries.

The shift in habitat came with human exploration, where they followed unsuspecting people home/people built homes on their land and found out it was much easier to live amongst them. Some faerie species also went urban, which was an added boon.

I think before we think of pets, we should think about what kind of adaptations a creature would have to stressors in the environment, if magic were a thing that could happen.

I'm thinking things like jet-propelled flying squirrels and such. How do they use magic to do general animal things like escape from shit that wants to eat you and find a thicc thot to breed with, or hunt down nuts and berries and shit.

In an ecosystem setting, I usually consider magic to be an adaptation similar to flying. It takes a lot of energy and specialization, but it opens up a range of new options for survival. While a black rat snake scales a tree in order to reach a bird's nest and the delicious eggs inside, a blink snake simply teleports into the tree to eat the nestlings. Magic could also be used for defense. While mundane minnows form groups of individuals so that they are less likely to be picked off by a predator. A magical minnow could illusion itself up a school and it would gain the defensive benefits without needing to share any food it finds. However, magic can also prove detrimental in certain circumstances. Magic is an energy intensive ability, and when the magic fails as a result of either anti-magic or counter-adaptations by other animals, the magical animal is less equipped to deal with its environment. Going back to the two snakes from earlier, while it may take longer for the "normal" snake to climb a tree than the blink snake, if the blink snake entered an anti-magic area or had its blink organ damaged, then the blink snake would be less physically able to climb a tree than the normal snake because it is so adapted to "blinking".

Cheeky

>>54348788
That sounds about right. I usually assume one of the most efficient uses to be size anyway, because it lets so many different fantasy creatures exist that couldn't otherwise.

Besides, it kind of makes sense. You're not warping space and time, you're just reinforcing your bones, strengthening your muscles, and increasing your cooling capacity, all by just a tad, but it allows you to grow much much larger and thus be more safe from predators and kill prey more easily.

Then you get creatures who take it to extremes like Giants who need to feed on magical beasts basically 24/7

Not the one you replied to, but yeah, they are somewhat difficult to care for *well*
I thought about getting some once, but after talking with i friend who had some i determined that they aren't worth the trouble for me.

The Chef's Familiar

Popular among chefs, cooks, and tavern owners this bird is known for hoarding fragrant herbs and vegetables in its nest. What it does with these food items no one can tell since they don't seem to eat them, discarding as they go bad.

Fiercely protective of its stash in the wild if it is adopted early enough it will gladly share its bounty with its owner. If released at dawn they fly away, returning at noon with herbs and vegetables hailing across the world. Many of these have never been seen before! How it does this no one knows.

Seems to favor stuff that goes well in soups

Memory Fly

These butterflies the size of small dogs reflect the memories of the beholder in their segmented wings like a shattered mirror. Some breeds only reflect good or only bad memories.

Very traumatic experiences tend to make them wilt

Thinker

An owl with a snake's head, capable of speech due to their magical nature. Rumored to be some twisted mage's pet project.
Most thinkers have a snide, snarky attitude, but despite that, offer valuable advice while adding shitty comments that can make thinking both easier and harder respectively.
Much like cats, they'll eat rodents that intrude upon a household. Unlike cats, they'll swallow it whole in front of you if they know it grosses you out.
Some people love them, some people hate them, but whatever they are or wherever they came from, they have cemented a spot as a charming yet assholish partner. They mellow out with age however, and live to be 20 or longer.
