TOPIC | Familiar Upgrade???
I have no idea if anyone suggested this as of yet but it doesn't appear to be on the mods list so here I go. I think it'd be awesome if the lair got an upgrade where of course you still have the familiars and everything but when you put them with a dragon they appear like a piece of apparel on your dragon. Like either laying next to the dragon or on the dragon or even playing with the dragon. Of course still keeping the original function of familiars of course.

I think that would be cute! I'd love to see my dragons playing with their familiars (sort of like the cat apparel).

However!!
There are way too many familiars to do new art for them all. As much as I love this idea, I don't think it would be practical to ask the mods to take on a project of this size. So, unfortunately, no support.

Possible compromise: only festival familiars have this feature. Still a big job, but not impossible!

No support. I want to keep using familiars without having them effect my dragons visuals.

Maybe there could be a way for Familiars to be available to affect the visuals of a dragon. Possibly an apparel item?
With whatever it is turned on or equipped, it would put the already-made familiar image next to the dragon, or maybe behind the dragon or in front of it. This would mean that you could have a familiar with your dragon, or not. This would be the familiar equipped.

I do art, and stuff.

While I think it would be great to have 'apparel' familiars I don't think they should be tied to having the true familiar item or not. IE make a series of 'sprites' where people can buy them and place them on dragons (however they should not have the name sprite appear in their name at all, just basically use the artwork/style) or coliseum familiars etc...

I think it would be cute, and if they could use the same artwork they already have for the familiars then it wouldn't be as much work, or shouldn't be.

I wouldn't mind awakening the familiar resulting in an apparel version being awarded, as extra incentive to bond. I wouldn't want it to be automatic, though.

I also don't think the artists should have to make new familiar art to fit every dragon. If it's possible to make them look good with minor edits to the current art, I could see this working~
