Let's say I were designing Furbies as critters/familiars...

[Bhu]

...what powers would you like to see them have?

[atemu1234]

Ravens, probably.

[Deaxsa]

An off button. More seriously, I guess I'd want them to be very much a novelty and understood as such, because the fact is, they have very little actual power. Take any pet: a dog can assist you in a hunt, a cat can clear a home of vermin, a goat can prodide milk, and even something like a teddy bear can provide comfort. Actually, do that. Make them really good at making people feel better, and don't label them furbies unless you want disproportionate hate aimed at them. (I used to see how much of a beating my sister's could take before the noises stopped, it was soooo annoying)

[Snowbluff]

Yeah, furbies are resilient. A raven familiar is probably the closest, because they can speak. I might have it mixed with the toad for no flying and a bonus to your HP.

[Barbarian Horde]

[Tiny Outsider] Chaotic Evil? CHaotic Neutral?
4d8: (16hp)
Armor Class: 17 (+2 size, +5 natural), touch 15, flat-footed 17
Abilitie Score: Str 10, Dex 10, Con 12, Int 10, Wis 12, Cha 18
Skills: Diplomacy +12, Hide +12, Knowledge (any one) +6, Listen +7, Move Silently +12, Search +6, Spellcraft +3, Spot +7, Survival +5
Saves: Fort +4, Ref +4, Will +5

Spell-Like Abilities: At will—detect good, True Seeing, invisibility (self only); 2/day—suggestion (DC 18)
Freeze (Ex): A furbie can hold itself so still it appears to be a statue. An observer must succeed on a DC 20 Spot check to notice the furbie is really alive.
Regeneration (Ex)Fire and acid deal normal damage to a furbie. If a furbie loses a limb or body part, the lost portion regrows in 3d6 minutes. The creature can reattach the severed member instantly by holding it to the stump.
Hard to kill, always watching, and scary.
I feel like if someone actually used this; the DM should roleplay the furbie.

I based this off another familiar. Re arranged a few things subtracted and added skills. I used the imp as primary source.

[Coidzor]

Something like the Allip's babble ability or symbol of insanity, I suppose. Kenku's mimicry, maybe.

Kender's fearlessness and obliviousness to tact, common sense, or self-preservation would be in keeping as well, I suppose.

Mostly what I'd like would be for them to be incredibly satisfying to kill.

[Judge_Worm]

Neutral Evil Construct, speaks common and one other language, also doubles as a soul gem or lich's phylactery. Were originally created by Yugoloths for torturing prisoners, became self aware and are now enacting a plan to conquer the lower realms. Since they cannot move of their own accord they are enthralling mages while pretending to be their familiars.
Stats wise: low strength, zero dex, no con, high low int, mediocre wis, high charisma.
Max ranks in blackspeech skill.

[sideswipe]

start with raven, change to a construct, give the construct an int score.

give it the ability to once per day give moral bonus to all rolls for 1min/hd, and the same bonus but as a penalty for the rest of the day.
(as it is meant to be charming and make you happy, but most of the time is annoying and distracting)

[Xelbiuj]

Language - furbish, common
Irresistible dance once per day

[Brookshw]

Half construct template

[Bhu]

I sense a certain Furby-phobia.

[Coidzor]

I sense a certain Furby-phobia.

Well, they are most famous for being hated/creeping people out, right? :smallamused:
