Everytime a character puts a familiar hatchling into their Familiar-Gro™ Terrarium, and it becomes their familiar, it is given a default name.
The familiar's name will appear in its action messages, for example in battle:
- Gobert attempts to hit him/her/it, but misses.
- In this case, the <familiar name> is Gobert.
Of course, the player can rename his or her familiar to whatever name they see fit by clicking "Manage Familiar Names" on the "Manage your Familiar" page.
