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.
The familiar snake is a Tiny viper. Not particularly aggressive, but it bites when threatened.
