Dragon Familiar nets you a wyrmling dragon as a familiar.


When acquiring a new familiar, you can choose a wyrmling dragon.

There's no reference for what happens as the dragon ages. It doesn't say you lose the familiar if it advances an age category.

Wyrmlings are 0-5 years old. Even assuming they were complete hatchlings, I've seen campaigns last much longer than 5 years of in-game time. Heck, I've seen them last 15+ years of in-game time. Some Young dragons get pretty beefy. Is there any text anywhere that would counter this?

It says as soon as it becomes a Very Young dragon, its no longer your familiar. So it could stick around, but you'd need another dragon familiar.

Wonder if anyone ever tried to get a Wyrmling Time Dragon...There's a specific table of wyrmlings that you have access to. Time Dragons are among the many types not on that list.
