I know it's a cliche but I'm going for a cat. They're small, but can travel a distance, can go places undetected and they're just adorable ๐Ÿ˜

A crow because corvids are intelligent, social, and sassy ๐Ÿ–ค

I'd go with a cockroach. Can fly, hide anywhere, survive anything, and report to me for juicy gossips.

Cats are honestly overpowered so I agree. They also have fluffy little tummies that you can bury your face in and get clawed to shreds

Racoon, then it can help do things and steal shit for me.

I'd go crow or raven but for basically the same reasons!

My shadow. I have had to kill too many loved ones and I will never own an individual again.

If it isn't limited to, like, real animals, I'd want a faerie dragon from D&D.

Oh that is an excellent choice! I think I'll swap that for my cat

I was going to go with a helper monkey but I think faerie dragon is the best choice. Maybe a pseudodragon would be a good choice. An imp would be nice to freak people out as well as well as they can turn invisible.

Polar bear, because people would leave me the fuck alone.

Bernese Mountain dog for sure. I love those, and I know I would get along with it.

Canada goose. You know why.

A weevil. They're so cute. And they can sneak around.....I guess if anything happened to them they could magically regenerate. Or a kitty. But might I also suggest, an elf owl? They're the smallest owl species. :D

Rolly polly

I know it would be conspicuous but I would love a capuchin monkey so it could help me fetch things.

[โ€“] xorollo@leminal.space 1 points 3 weeks ago

This is me and my white goose familiar.

I was asked this at work recently "as an icebreaker" and I'll say now what I said then:

a great big fuck-off raven
