Familiar

A familiar is a creature that assists an adventurer in various ways, such as attacking enemies, helping earn more Meat or items, letting them regain HP or MP, or gain more experience.

To get a familiar, you must first install a Familiar-Groâ„¢ Terrarium at your campsite. Then "use" the hatchling form of the familiar to place it in your Terrarium. You may have one of each type of familiar, and you may have one familiar accompany you at a time.

Familiars gain experience when you defeat a monster; as their experience increases, they gain weight, to a maximum of 20 pounds. Familiars may also gain experience at the Arena.

You may increase the effective weight of your familiar in several ways: using some types of familiar equipment, equipping various tiny plastic accessories, gaining the effect of Empathy, or having the Turtle Tamer skill Amphibian Sympathy.
