I've looked, but I don't see one, and I think PF should have one. A platypus. Seriously. Is there one that I'm just not seeing? My girlfriend loves them now that she's been reading Sequential Art. She even had one for her sorceress in 3.5 thank to a Dragon magazine, and a creatures weekly volume. It's OGL now thanks to Octavirate Creature Weekly Volume 01. I'm sure it wouldn't be too much to convert it, or add it to a water campaign if there isn't already one, which there definitely should be.
If anything, I'd love to see PF do a supplement with additional familiars, mounts, fiendish servants, and animal companions. Just to give people more variety.
Maybe a feat like Obtain Familiar because, as we know, familiars stop getting strong once the arcane spellcaster stops going up their base class.

Pathfinder labels itself as 3.5 compatible, so I wouldn't see a problem with just taking the obtain familiar feat. Heck, I did it once for a bard :). Anyway, a publication with familiars, mounts and companions would be nice, but I would suggest just taking whatever stats the platipus had and going with them. Since it's a familiar and not a combat creature anyway, there should be zero problem.
I would recommend as above. Also, keep your eyes open for the new Ultimate Magic book. It will have some new familiars listed in it. I don't know if the platypus will be included.
So, was her platypus familiar named Perry? Was it a secret agent?
It's nice to see that some people in the forum remember that Pathfinder is specifically intended to be 3.X compatible. Kudos.
I likewise took the Obtain Familiar feat for my Sorcerer/Oracle/Mystic Theurge since I didn't care to gain a gimped familiar via the Arcane bloodline. Works fine as is.

I want to do this now... and I demand that my awakened platypus cohort takes levels in ninja.
The new Eldritch Heritage feat allows you to gain access to the first bloodline ability of a sorcerer bloodline. So, you can grab the familiar with the first bloodline ability of the arcane bloodline, albeit at a -2 wizard level. This does require Cha 13 and Skill Focus: Knowledge (Any) as prerequisites, however.

Well, that's not too bad for a half-elf; burn the free skill focus on a Knowledge, and if they dip 2 levels in another class they get their Multitalented bonus AND can gain the full benefit of Boon Companion.
Or a human with their extra feat at first level.
Then there's the robe from the APG that allows you to treat your sorcerer level as 2 higher for purposes of bloodline abilities. I believe this would negate the -2 effective wizard level for purposes of the familiar's level/HD benefits.
