Hey, so I made up a new creature, the Rookfin:

Largely intended to be a more "exotic" option for the Find Familiar spell. Its a housecat-sized distant cousin to griffins. Where as griffins are half-lion and half-eagle, the rookfin is half-housecat and half-raven. The creature type listed is actually for "my" familiar, and actually should probably be monstrosity in general though.

Any compliments, suggestions? Anyone have their own homebrewed familiars they'd like to show off?

Note: the artwork is shamelessly stolen from the internet and not my own.

I can't see the image for some reason (could be work), but it sounds kind of like the Tressym

Even this link results in a 403 error... is the image set to be private? I assume it's loading for you, since you didn't notice the error, so there's problem a permissions problem somewhere.

Yeah, I think that was the issue, should be fixed now.

I'd just reflavor a raven and swap mimicry for darkvision or owl. And reduce their fly speed (that thing is not aerodynamic) to 30. Give them a walk speed of 40 (cat)
Or give a cat a low fly speed.

Still can't see image.

If I were to stat them:
str 3 (-4)
dex 14 (+2)
con 8 (-1)
int 4 (-3)
wis 10 (+0)
cha 6 (-2)
Darkvision 60
Fly 30
Walk 40
Climb 30
Keen smell
Perception +3
