Description
Aavoloths are small, mischievous yugololths that prowl the lower planes in search of food. Aavoloths are sometimes summoned to be familiers for powerful wizards.
Variant: Aavoloth Familiar
Spellcasters who are interested in unusual familiars find that aavoloths are eager to serve someone who has magical power. Unless its master is strict, a aavoloth familiar can be unruly, behaving aggressively toward other Tiny creatures. A aavoloth serving as a familiar has the following trait:
Familiar. The aavoloth can serve another creature as a familiar, forming a telepathic bond with its willing master, provided that the master is at least a 3rd-level spellcaster. While the two are bonded, the master can sense what the aavoloth senses as long as they are within 1 mile of each other. If its master causes it physical harm, the aavoloth will end its service as a familiar, breaking the telepathic bond.
