Encounter: Zoinks, a frog with the head of a cowardly stoner; when equipped as a familiar, it claims to be able to find food anywhere, but any door or compartment is suggests you open is likely to contain some sort of monster, in particular anything that had been chasing you but you thought you had lost.
Item: Ceramic Catpig mobile food storage unit, the size of a standard pig but completely hollow; compulsively swallows food whole and preserves it perfectly for future consumption. Only problem is that if there is any empty space inside it will seek out anything edible and add it to its storage compartment.
Encounter: Sriracha Rooster; when equipped as a familiar, the player selects a type of creature and the Rooster develops an irrational hatred of them, attacking them on sight and imbuing them with a delightful spicy flavor, aka granting them Flavored Enemy status.
Item: the Friend of Decay, a plush construct whose mere presence causes everything in twenty feet to slowly gain a musty smell, colors fade, paper yellows, cloth wears, drywall moulders, glue stops holding…
Encountaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa (ahem) sorry, let me start over
Encounter: Charlie, construct-familiar that enjoys casting Thaumaturgy and Confusion at random moments; also, screams a lot. Favorite food: expired candy
