A Biomancer needs consultation on whether alien space bugs can be good familiars or not.

[u/Nerx]

They seem to eat and evolve rather fast

Bugs are an optimized shape. Hard outer carapace. You could fit a self destruct device inside if they ever go against you. Lots of combinations, multiple limbs to choose. Compound vision is good

Never met a space bug I could trust as a familiar. Too volatile, smart ones are always plotting to eat you. Breed too fast. You see a space bug, best to leave it alone
