description
Spellcasters who are particularly attuned to the elemental planes or are inherently familiar with the desert's dunes may occasionally find and bind a desert cat familiar, especially those spellcasters who embody the desert cat's curiosity and propensity for chaos. A bound desert cat's behavior is erratic and varies greatly depending on its master's influence. Desert cats also are exceptionally skilled at reaching otherwise difficult-to-reach locations to cause trouble, especially around precious gems and metals. A desert cat serving as a familiar has the following trait.
Familiar. At the GM's discretion, warlocks with the Pact of the Chain feature can choose a desert cat as their familiar, in addition to the forms listed in their class. While the two are bonded, the master can sense what the desert cat senses as long as they are within 1 mile of each other. If its master causes it physical harm, the desert cat will end its service as a familiar, breaking the telepathic bond.
