Mac the Flirt
Effect: If Mac the Flirt is included in a submission, all dragons in the submission receive the friendly Familiar bonus. He must be depicted with a flower of some sort. This Familiar does not take up a Familiar slot.
He’s giving you a rose because apparently non-birds dislike offerings of pre-digested food. Don’t be afraid to ask, though. He’s ready.

If your Rider is Jungle element, you may Spiritbind this Familiar.

Jackalope
Effect: This Rider’s dragons gain +10 Intelligence in races.
If your Rider is Thunder element, you may Spiritbind this Familiar.
They only get it on whenever lightning strikes. Antlers…aren’t exactly the best thing to have in a thunderstorm, so there’s not very many of the little critters.

If your Rider is Storm element, you may Spiritbind this Familiar.
This little critter makes the cheetah look like it’s standing still.

Macmatician
If Macmatician is included in a submission, all dragons in the submission receive the friendly Familiar bonus. He must be depicted with glasses of some sort or sitting on someone’s glasses.
This Familiar is soulbound.
While he doesn’t understand computers, he does know that the mouse moves things, and that monitors are a good perch. Given enough time, he’ll be an elite esports competitor. Or maybe he’ll just stick with N64 classics. We’ll see.
Mac the Merry
Effect: If Mac the Merry is included in a submission, all dragons in the submission receive the friendly Familiar bonus. He must be depicted with a red bow. This Familiar does not take up a Familiar slot.

Sunstar
Effect: 10% chance for this dragon’s eggs to inherit a random Modifier Trait.
Despite its benign appearance, this is a ferocious predator in the seas of Eredia. It can eat anything it fits into its mouth and regenerates limbs with ease. Thankfully, it only grows as big as a dog.

Why does this wet chicken need an air bubble when he only gets halfway wet? The world may never know.
Blue Sea Dragon
Effect: Brings back one extra item from the Salvaging elemental loot pool (element is random).
It’s smaller than most regular dragons, but don’t let its size fool you!
Border Collie
This Familiar currently has no effect.
Clever and quick. Just don’t leave your shoes unattended.
Bumblebuddy
If an activity has a chance of bringing Berries or Herbs, then the character will bring home one additional Berries or Herbs item (the latter is decided randomly). This does not count drops from other Familiars. The activity does not have to be successful for the Bumblebuddy to return with an item.
It was long argued whether this was an arthropod or a plant. It was discovered through DNA testing…that it was both! They live in a symbiotic relationship, with the flower providing sweet sustenance directly, and the bumble providing a hive of other flowers to pollinate with.
Khameleonian
Effect: 10% chance for this dragon’s eggs to inherit a random Display Trait.
Not to be confused with a giant Tsuchinoko.
Common Dolphin

Peacock Spider
Effect: 50% chance of increasing dragon magic by one tier during breeding.
Shake those tail feathers! Or else…

- If it does have a Rider, only the Rider and the Spiritbound dragon may use the benefits of the Familiar.

Alebrije
Effect: This familiar can be soulbound to wind Riders. If their dragon is using wind magic, they gain +1 EXP.
They came to an artist in a dream, and since then, people have made these paper figures to honor artists around the world. If an artist brings an Alebrije to life, they're considered as a master of the generation, and they go down in history alongside their new familiar.

- Falling Leaves
- Leaves Changing Color
- Animals Hoarding
- Birds Migrating
- Plants Ready for Harvest
- Falling Seeds (Pinecones, Pinwheel Seeds)

When creating a custom skin, it must have the pattern and anatomy of a real chipmunk species. However, you can use any colors, including unnatural ones!
Just how much can fit in there, anyways?
Basilisk
Effect: This familiar can be soulbound to fire Riders. If their dragon is using fire magic, they gain +1 EXP.
When creating a custom skin, it may appear as a cross of any game bird or domestic bird and a snake.
These birds are well-known for blinding their enemies with their fiery breath. They do not make good house pets.
Whirlybug
Effect: Earns 1 AP outside of Affiliation Duties. Adds +1 EXP to all depicted dragons in the Attyceps Network. Can only be used by members of the Attyceps Network.
When creating a custom skin, you may change the species to any snail shell and leaf combo, in any color or pattern. The body of the Whirlybug should stay the same shape.
These little animals are known as the hive janitors. They happily munch on mold that grows where it's not supposed to. Given their slow speed, they can also be used as a forum board, and often have advertisements and public notices taped to their shells.
Nyandroid
Effect: Earns 1 AP outside of Affiliation Duties. Adds +1 EXP to all depicted dragons in the Naki Alliance. Can only be used by members of the Naki Alliance.
When creating a custom skin, it must appear as a bipedal feline robot.
Cats are cute, but what if they were also bipedal? After the first generation of Nyandroids were produced, they had their answer. Mischief. Lots of mischief. The project was cancelled, but somehow new ones keep turning up.
Ahuizotl
Effect: Earns 1 AP outside of Affiliation Duties. Adds +1 EXP to all depicted dragons in the Shéar Rebellion. Can only be used by members of the Shéar Rebellion.
When creating a custom skin, you may change the species to any small dog breed, as long as it has thumbs and water elemental effects.
This creature stalks the rivers of Shérok, pulling enemies of the land to their death. Should they encounter an ally in need, they deliver them to safer shores. It is common for people to bring dog biscuits when traveling through strange waters in case the creature cannot decide what to do.
Soulstealer
Effect: Earns 1 AP outside of Affiliation Duties. Adds +1 EXP to all depicted dragons in the Erré Coalition. Can only be used by members of the Erré Coalition.
When creating a custom skin, you may change the species to any fish, as long as it glows and has jellyfish-like souls nearby.
Despite its name, this creature is more like a collector. It swims along the deepest parts of the sea floor, gathering the shreds of souls that were too faded to become Phinae. Over the course of centuries, it can grow from a few inches to a hundred meters in length. This familiar is just a fry, though. It won't grow bigger unless you feed it.
Slime
Effect: Earns 1 AP outside of Affiliation Duties. Adds +1 EXP to all depicted dragons in the Abrendese Militia. Can only be used by members of the Abrendese Militia.
When creating a custom skin, it must appear as a single-colored slime with no markings and one eye. It can be shaped as anything. It may be shiny, but it won't look like it's made with glitter.
Slimes are a common occurence around Abrendese laboratories. They could be test subjects, test materials, results of a successful experiment, results of a failed experiment, something that came out of the drain, something that a lab rat barfed up...really, the list goes on.
Aphyd
Effect: Adds +1 Affiliation Point to all Attyceps Network art duties. Adds +1 EXP to all depicted dragons in the Attyceps Network affiliation.
When creating a custom skin, it must appear as an aphid-like creature with a tank of neon-colored liquid for a butt. It may have glittering particles, such as sparkles or shaped glitter. The tank does not need to be circular. They may have up to four tiny insect wings of any insect species.
These adorable creatures live in and around Attyceps hives. Some Attyceps even keep them as companions for their journeys. In exchange for safety and food, they provide a delicious honeydew to their caretakers. Its effect varies depending on what the Aphyd is fed. Aphyds that reach old age can shed their exoskeleton and reveal a small, winged, youthful version of their old selves. Their wings fall off after a few uses and their life cycle repeats.
Ixipxiptla
Effect: Adds +1 Affiliation Point to all Quetzalcoatl Feathermage art duties. Adds +1 EXP to all depicted dragons in the Quetzalcoatl Feathermage affiliation.
When creating a custom skin, it must appear as a combination of any monkey/ape with a large mane. Its pattern should match that of a living cat species, breed, or mutation.
These ill-fated monkeys are used as practice for the feathermages, due to their similar body structure and uncanny intelligence. They are treated with just as much respect as the ixiptla.
Yauhtli
Effect: Earns 1 AP outside of Affiliation Duties. Adds +1 EXP to all depicted dragons working with the Quetzalcoatl Feathermages. Can only be used by allies of the Quetzalcoatl Feathermages.
When creating a custom skin, you may slightly adjust the size of the avian traits, but it should be recognizable as avian. You may also add as many nudibranch traits as you like, and the coloration may take from any nudibranch species.
Then the ruler of storms flew down and laid low the mortals and heathens; Only her children remained, and their feathers coursed with the magic of gods.
Will-o-Wisp
Effect: This familiar can be soulbound to dark Riders. If their dragon is using dark magic, they gain +1 EXP.
When creating a custom skin, it may appear as any ethereal, skeletal skull or an empty flame.
Deep in the marshes, in the dark of night, these malevolent creatures try to lure their victims into the deep. When they lure the victim close enough to their place of death, they can possess their skeleton to pull them into the mud.
The Lone Ranger
Effect: If the Lone Ranger is included in a submission, all dragons in the submission receive the friendly Familiar bonus. He must be depicted with a cowboy hat and mask of some sort. This Familiar does not take up a Familiar slot.
Use this item to create a MYO Familiar slot. Before submitting, make sure to include info on the Rider you are attaching it to.
To find the lost, save the weak, right the wrong, and fly beyond the horizons. That is the duty of the Lone Ranger, who is never truly alone.
Kermode
Effect: This familiar can be soulbound to earth Riders. If their dragon is using earth magic, they gain +1 EXP.
When creating a custom skin, it may appear as any bear cub.
By all accounts, there's nothing magical about this familiar--unless you're counting that weird, ethereal shimmer. Or maybe the trail of stars it leaves behind with its tail. Or possibly the fact it never appears to age. Other than those things, it's a perfectly normal bear cub.
Capripotamos
Effect: This familiar can be soulbound to ocean Riders. If their dragon is using ocean magic, they gain +1 EXP.
When creating a custom skin, it must appear as a combination of any fish and any cloven-hooved mammal. (The species must not be extinct.)
Bestia placed his goat stables too close to the domain of water spirits, leading to a bit of mischief. This was not his first mistake, nor his last.
Yeti
Effect: This familiar can be soulbound to Storm Riders. If their dragon is using Storm magic, they gain +1 EXP.
Use this item to create a MYO Familiar slot. Before submitting, make sure to include info on the Rider you are attaching it to.
When creating a custom skin, it may appear as any white-furred animal with black or blue-skinned extremities and horns.
The Yeti climbs using its hind legs to grip the branch and forelegs to grasp at branches, which causes some people to mistake it as a small monkey. There are tales of thousand-year-old yetis growing huge, gaining a voice, and walking on the ground like a human...but those are just myths, aren't they?
Gryphon Hatchling
Effect: When a dragon is depicted with gryphons, they gain +1 Loot and +1 EXP.
Use this item to create a MYO Familiar slot. Before submitting, make sure to include info on the Rider you are attaching it to.
When creating a custom skin, it may appear as any mammal and bird combination. The mammal chosen must have toes of some sort. The head will always have a beak. It must be a small hatchling, not a fully grown gryphon.
What a fierce-looking cutie! Perhaps it will grow up to be something amazing.
NOTE: This will update to 'depicted with officially uploaded gryphons' in the future.
