Familiar list: Improved Familiar — Neutral, arcane caster 5th+

Attach (Ex): On a hit with a touch attack against Small or larger prey, the stirge latches on (effectively grappling). AC 12 while attached; +12 racial bonus on grapple checks.

Blood Drain (Ex): Deals 1d4 Con damage each round it begins its turn attached. Detaches after 4 Con damage drained (or if the victim dies).

Familiar note: A familiar is a normal animal that becomes a magical beast when bound (type changes for effects). Use master’s level for HD effects when higher; familiar has ½ master’s hp; use master’s BAB for attacks; better of familiar or master base saves. See the familiar ability table (Alertness, improved evasion, share spells, empathic link, etc.). Improved familiars of non-animal type do not change type and do not gain speak with animals of their kind.
