Bestiary 2 question: Chupacabra as animal companion or familiar?


Product Discussion

Basically, I'm wanting to now if there is any sort of precedent for this. It's for a homebrew Skulls and Shackles and since my monk has almost died three times now I'm wanting to plan a backup character. I think a Chupacabra would be a really cool companion/familiar, and the GM has said he'd allow it *IF* I could find some kind of official (or even semi-official) ruling that would tell us what I would gain, but so far I've found bupkis. Is it just not possible or am I overlooking something? Thanks in advance.

Animal companion would be most difficult, especially since a chupacabra is a magical beast. I could see a GM allowing someone to take one as a familiar using Improved Familiar, however. There's nothing official because it's not in the rules, but talk to your GM and see if they'd allow it. Compare it to other improved familiars and see how it'd fit in.
