No problem. Actually, My Coyote shaman's Diesel the Weasel is a regular weasle
with a bunch of quickened "increase attribute +4" spells. (Getting that
Increase Quickness to take was a bit of a bitch, let me tell you). Smart
little bugger. (Just waiting to find a street doc willing to try fitting him
with a cerebral booster...)

If you wanna get hideous (and silly) with it, try a swarm of ally spirits,
each in a pirhana... Make better spies, too...

Lamest familiars list:
Jellyfish (you basically got the old Phlumph from AD&D...)
Cow (regenerating steaks!)
Toad (You have to lick it to get magical assistance from it)

Hey. How about plants? Wouldn't be overly useful to shadowrunners, but I can
just see druid type with a spirit in a huge oak (maybe he lives in it... no
need to worry about vandalism, eh? Auto burgular alarm... no astral
intruders... to check the weather, just ask or use sense link...)

Whoa... whoa-whoa-whoa... just hd a thought here. A colony of insects could
easily be thought of as a single organism. How's about the spirit ally of an
insect shaman, say, being a swarm of bees/wasps/whatever? Terribly nasty. Not
much good against hardened armor, but impressive, and spies without peer...
"Lord of the flies" indeed, but with wasps.
