we've been talking a lot about our lore in FRD lately, and i'm curious if familiars exist as familiars for your lair. for me, they don't, and it's just a game mechanic. some dragons have Beastclan friends that are displayed as familiars on their profile, and i even have a dragon whose home acts as a refuge for Beastclans. that being said, none of my dragons have, for example, a "familiar" or constant companion following them through life, if that makes sense.

i like the idea of my dragons having (possibly stabby) pets

@atrocities extremely understandable. and the animated objects from notn are fun to think about too, like a little [item=overwatered seedling] hopping around
Yep they do, I try my best to incorporate them into my dragons lore
A few Beastclan members do exist in my lore, mostly serthis who help in the library and one who helps tend to the graveyard, but there's also a longneck wandering in there somewhere. Some of my dragons do have lore familiars as well, good faithful companions that sometimes bite.

Sometimes! It usually depends on the dragon and companion. Danyl's harpy companion is a big part of her lore, but Holm's Robotic Tender is only slotted as his companion since 1. I find it funny and 2. I like all my permas or semi-permas to have companions

The foreword indicates that these are best told in the dark. The black and white illustrations throughout are crude, sketchy, and haunting. Don't read the one about the neck ribbon.
Same, I almost completely ignore familiars in lore. Especially beastclan ones, it makes no sense to me to keep a sentient creature essentially as a "pet". I'm sure people that do use beastclan familiars in lore make it out to be more of an equal relationship, but it's still a very "gamey" mechanic which imo makes for boring lore regardless of whatever quirky twist you want to put on it.

I don't usually implement familiars in lore and none of my dragons have fixed familiars, but my clan has Noodle who is a familiar carer and her helper Eliaar who is a clumsy idiot.

That said, the familiars Noodle takes care of are all beastly. The humanoid familiars 100% don't exist in my lore. IMAGINE a dragon taking a full grown sapient talking Maren for a walk. In a leash. NOPE.

Yes! In my clan lore the beast clan familiars play an especially important role- since Hemlok is a merchant group the beast clan familiars are basically representatives of their own groups who want to conduct business with them.
