Distorted Familiar

     Distorted familiars are but shadows of what familiars usually are. Summoned through an unstable ritual, they carry the very essence of Limbo with them, changing the ground whereupon they walk momentarily into liquid, flames or gas. Likewise it is difficult to determine the true nature of the original familiar, for nothing it's form holds is permanent. the familiar might appear as a goldfish with centipedes legs and a cats head, only for it to change shapes in the matter of seconds to a dog with eagles wings.

     Unpredictable in nature. The distorted familiars are creatures in constant pain and frustration over their continual shifting of forms. This makes their behavior very unpredictable, as it acts as a conduit to the chaotic energies of the plane it was shifted by: the Limbo

     Conduits of chaos. Even if tiny in size, the surrounding around a distorted familiar are sure to draw attention easily. Radiating a tint of violet light, and seemingly distorting everything around in an effect that resembles a creature looking through a crystal, the familiars are agents of chaos. 

    Unreliable servants. Due to their explosive temper, the distorted familiars rarely get far from where they originally spawn. They usually linger in small packs around their masters and summoners, but wander off easily while distracted. Their masters include the mad chaosmeld sorcerers, the slaadi and experimental wizards.
