Homebrew Awakened Beast (Awakened Familiar) Species Details
While familiars and animal companions are commonly kept as pets and helpers for various magic users and adventurers, some lose their bindings when their owner passes away or they are awoken through magic, divine, or some other means.
Adaptation of The Awoken
Newly awoken creatures must adapt quickly to their new life or fall to the dangers of the sentient world. Through their newly found intelligence, creatures will often practice the use of civilized constructs such as tools, language, and magic.

More often than not, Awakened creatures choose a life of adventure, seeing as much of the world as they can with their newfound freedom.
Awakened Creature Names
Awakened Creatures often take on the names given to them by their masters, some however leave their old name in the dust. As such, they have any number of names.
