Ok so I was looking for a familiar big enough to be a mount and I found this ridiculously strong familiar in serpent kingdom (is anything balanced in that book?)
the dung snake
-medium sized
-3 hit dice
-3 movement moves (20 ground, 20 climb, 20 swim)
-17 STR and DEX with fast healing 1 and immunity to disease
the only issue is that it's aquatic
the first fix I can think for that is making it a stitch-fleshed familiar , being undead it doesn't need to breathe but it being undead is kind of annoying if you want to play a good-aligned character
a shadowform familiar could also work but then it can't fight anymore since it's incorporeal
Finally if I play a shadowcaster it could use shadow familiar to get one with the dark template but even then I'm not sure if that works: do dark creatures need to breathe?
