But that list with the grig & formians doesn't agree with the official list on paizo's page or the d20pfsrd page either. So, if he was looking for an 'official source' for the entries, do we have a printed product or developer post, or are these just fan based options?

It's from the Beta playtest version of the rules.

Thanks! I didn't even think of looking there. I haven't cracked the beta rule book in ages. OK, well I guess that at least makes it quasi-officially sourced.

Thanks Hogarth.

That was driving me crazy. I kept flipping through all my Pathfinder books, and couldn't find them referenced. I originally compiled the list of familiars for my character generator from the Beta, ever so long ago.

Since formians and grigs didn't make it in to the Bestiary, we took them off the list of familiars. Grigs will be appearing in Bestiary 2, I believe, at which point they'll likely be added back as an Improved Familiar choice. There won't be any formians in Bestiary 2, but there WILL be some more lawful neutral and neutral familiar choices for Improved Familiar.


Ooooh... Elemental familiar. *gets ideas*
