Favorite Familiar/Animal Companion (3.5 DND)
I would have to say I like having a Megaraptor for an Animal Companion. Mostly because I love dinosaurs and the idea of riding a dinosaur into combat is pretty epic in my opinion.

Re: Favorite Familiar/Animal Companion (3.5 DND)
I played a drow storm sorcerer in a 4e game once. He had an Ooze familiar featured in one of the Dragon Magaizines.
I really liked the concept of a drow who had a familiar that resembled something you'd find in the underdark and was a type of familiar that he could constantly abuse without actually hurting it.
The ooze worked out well as a scout since it could hide well and move into any place. The drow liked to throw it at things to see if they were dangerous, like magical circles.

Re: Favorite Familiar/Animal Companion (3.5 DND)
While it takes investing in Improved Familiar, the humble Imp will remain my favorite Familiar of all time.
I think the blasted thing was more memorable than any of the other characters, and just thinking about him gives the DM of the time headaches.

Re: Favorite Familiar/Animal Companion (3.5 DND)
I can never decide between cat and raven, at least when I'm not putting together a familiar-centric caster. That's why I almost always take the racial sub-level for my changeling wizards.
I am not seaweed. That's a B.

Re: Favorite Familiar/Animal Companion (3.5 DND)
for familiars, I like weasels (ferrets) and a DM once let me have a falcon (+2 will saves)
for animal companions, I like timber wolves, then panthers (leopard), then white tigers.
A liger would be cool, especially a dire one.
If I could ever have a white legendary tiger, I believe I would be set.

My favorite is when I turned a T-rex into Godzilla with a draconic graft, Arcane Heirophant, and Fleshwarper to make it Gargantuan.

Re: Favorite Familiar/Animal Companion (3.5 DND)
Even though it's in Pathfinder (Our DM is allowing 3.5 D&D material since they're almost completely compatible), my favorite familiars of all time are the fiendish tiny viper named Scourge that I had for my NE manipulator wizard, and the small water elemental I had for my water elemental-bloodline sorceress, named Spritz.

Re: Favorite Familiar/Animal Companion (3.5 DND)
I quite like rats for my familiars. They're cute, they make good sneaks, and the bonus to Fortitude saves is never a bad thing.
I'm the author of the Alex Verus series of urban fantasy novels. Fated is the first, and the final book in the series, Risen, is out as of December 2021. For updates, check my blog!

Re: Favorite Familiar/Animal Companion (3.5 DND)
Favorite Normal Familiar: Hummingbird (from DR 323) Since the bonus it provides, +4 to Initiative, appears to be untyped, it should stack with Improved Initiative!
Favorite Improved Familiar: Bat Swarm (DR 329) ... The pure flavor of this is epic! You have a chittering cloud of bats constantly surrounding you!

Re: Favorite Familiar/Animal Companion (3.5 DND)
You know what I think is really underrated as a familiar?
Bears.
I remember playing NWN2 I had a druid with 0 fighting prowess 0 useful skills other than spot and listen and he only had good ac cause he took 1 level in monk at lvl 30 on the flipside... he got all these animal companion buffs (feats and spells) and funny thing was... He could beat lvl 30 characters in PVP.
That was damn good bear!
