Familar for selune cleric

[Bnewby724@gmail]

I'm making a cleric of selune human taking the ritual caster feat for find familiar spell mostly:smallredface: and all rest of the tool kit. I'm stuck between a bat or an owl. Which would be the best choice for the story.

Owl is more of a cute, benevolent night creature, even though it's predatory as heck. Seems pretty socially acceptable to keep an owl on your shoulder though a social gathering, much like a trained falcon or hawk might be shown off.

Bats are slightly unusual, but on the upside you can hold a criminal close to your face and say "I'm Batmoon." -- before dropping the jerk off a building.


So... are you more of an educated aristocrat, or more of an edgy vigilante? (You're a rich git either way, of course.)

Owls are Selûne's favored animals. On top of that, owls are one of the best familiars because Flyby lets them move to a creature, take the Help action, and fly away without reprisal.

Owl would indeed be the classic choice. The wiki also identifies song dragons and weredragons as Her 'favoured monsters'. You could maybe homebrew a 'baby song dragon' stat block if you were feeling really adventurous.

Owl is not only fitting, but one of the top tier Familiar choices do to Flyby.

I had once a Wizard at my table with an Owl familiar named "Hooter".
