Pet Idea

The Sniler

Description: a Tiny common-looking mouse, except for its pitch black tail and its especially long whiskers.

Functionality: The Sniler can teleport inside small spaces, like pockets, small bags, empty sheaths, loose socks, etc., that are of property of its owner. The Sniler mostly sleeps and eat, but when it’s awake it can do two things by emitting a squeak:

Outside of an encounter: The Sniler squeaks and the owner has advantage on all Nature and Animal Handling checks.

In an encounter: The Sniler squeaks and a d4 is rolled.

The owner of The Sniler gets teleported in a 15ft radius from their starting point of their choosing.

The Sniler grows in size and becomes a Medium Sized. It uses the Giant Rat sheet with the added Action of Teleport (see Blink Dog). Reaching 0 hp makes The Sniler return to its normal form and teleport to an empty pocket of its owner.

The Sniler squeak sounds like a monstrous roar, making any enemy creature in a 30 ft radius frightened of its owner. This effect lasts 1d6 round(s).

The owner of The Sniler turns one size smaller, along with its equipment, and their speed raises by 15ft.

To trigger a squeak the owner needs to feed The Sniler with an 5cm cube of cheese that was previously soaked in beer. The Sniler will engulf the cheese in one bite and proceed to squeak, it’s completely possible that the squeak is actually just a burp.

The Sniler will take only 3 cubes of its delicious cheese before sleeping or refusing any more, accepting it back only after a long rest (of the Sniler).

If the Sniler isn’t offered a cube of special cheese in 3 days it will squeak only outside of battle, hiding from its owner in battle, if it’s not fed a cube of special cheese in 6 days it will disappear with any cheese and beer the party has in a 10ft radius from the owner after a long rest.

Even if the cheese and beer are inside a Bag of Holding.

Feed the Sniler.
