These monsters take toughness to a whole new level.
So today, let’s examine the most useful types of familiars players can summon in Dungeons & Dragons.
However, one of the best uses a player will have for this familiar is its medium size.
The main special ability it has is a reaction, known as Burst of Ingenuity.
23Quipper
Quippers are a very interesting familiar choice, as they only function within the water.
Outside of it they are easily the most useless familiar option available, since they will quickly suffocate.
However, if a campaign or adventure hasled itself underwater, they can offer incredible value.
WIth 60 feet of darkvision and a 40-foot swimming speed, Quippers can easily maneuver around a battlefield.
They are able to move up to 80 feet in a single turn with the dash action.
This makes them one of the most ideal familiar options when traveling underwater.
22Spider
Spiders are a niche familiar choice that can be surprisingly effective.
With +3 perception and +5 stealth, Weasels have some of the best skill utility of any familiar.
20Cat
Cats are a familiar option that offer a very similar utility to that of weasels.
However, the tradeoff is one of mobility.
While weasels have thirty feet of movement, Cats have forty, also boasting a useful thirty-fourty climbing speed.

For campaigns that are likely going to include a great deal of water, amphibious familiars are a must.
Because you never know when you need another NPC stat block.
Additionally, it should be noted that Frogs possess darkvision with a range of thirty feet.
