So I'm building a Shaman, very slowly. I've already chosen the Heavens spirit and the Lore as my future wandering spirit. The Heavens spirit makes my spirit animal so flavorful. My character is going to be extremely divination driven so the interstellar familiar was perfect. The only problem is on the decision of a familiar. Nailing down one is very hard, but I've limited myself to ones based off of constellations and began to weed through them. The remaining options are based off of modern and former recognized constellations. I imagine my spirit actually giving him the constellation from the sky as a spirit animal.
Aquila(Hawk), Manis(Armadillo), Vulpecula(Fox), Sciurus Volans(Flying Squirrel), Limax(Leopard Slug), Noctua(Owl), Pavo(Peacock), Scorpio(Scorpion), Testudo(Turtle/Snapping Turtle), Turdus(Thrush), Tucana(Toucan), Serpens(Viper), Ursa Minor(Red Panda), Lacerta(Lizard), Lepus(Rabbit), Corvus(Raven), Aranea(Spider), Hydrus(Sea Krait)
Some possible custom familiars I had thought of were:
Polaris: (Hummingbird. Based off of one star rather than a constellation. Smallest familiar choice at Fine)
Chamaeleon: (Chameleon)
Lyra: (Superb Lyre Bird. Around the same size and family as a peacock, with the ability to speak and mimic noises.)
Cygnus: (Swan. Size of a peacock with an added swim speed.)
Anguilla: (Eel)
Scarabaeus: Beetle
Thoughts? Advice?
