Grotesque

Much shorter write up for this one.

In the world of the Freeport setting, the gnomes of a land named Iovan have developed a secret technique to enslave Gargoyles, which they used to beat back the Kobolds who would attack them every year. They then, drunk on that success, picked a fight with the Dwarven nation to their north and got soundly rebuked. The nation is named after Iovan, the Gnomish Sorcerer who first developed the Gargoyle-enslaving technique, and I decided to create some feats to allow for these techniques to be available to the Iovan Gnomes. The first feat allowed the Iovan Gnome to get the services of a Small Gargoyle (called a Grotesque) as a familiar at 6th level, and the second feat would allow the Gnome to 'grow' his familiar into a full-sized Gargoyle. (Iovan himself, suspected to now be a lich, is said to have developed a third level of proficiency, and has a Large Advanced, and possibly Fiendish, Gargoyle as a familiar.)

In any event, the idea of Small Gargoyle familiars appeals to me. In Golarion, they would be connected to the appropriate Demon Lord (Xervoran?), explaining their Chaotic Evil bent and love of ruins.
