You gain the service of an otherworldly spirit, which manifests as a little animal in an unoccupied space of your choice within range. This creature uses the Otherworldly Familiar stat block. If you already have a familiar from this spell, that familiar transforms into the new one but retains its memories; you don’t get a second familiar.
Whenever you cast the spell, choose the familiar’s creature type: Celestial, Fey, or Fiend. Also choose an environment: Air, Land, or Water. The familiar resembles a Tiny animal of your choice—such as an owl, a cat, or a frog—that is native to the chosen environment. Both choices—creature type and environment—determine certain traits in the stat block.
Combat. The familiar is an ally to you and your companions. In combat, it shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It obeys your commands (no action required by you), but the familiar can’t attack unless you use your Reaction on its turn to command it do so.
If you don’t issue any commands, the familiar takes the Dodge action and uses its Move to avoid danger.
Disappearance of the Familiar. The familiar disappears if it drops to 0 Hit Points, if you dismiss it as a Bonus Action, or if you die. When it disappears, it leaves behind anything it was wearing or carrying. If you cast this spell again, you decide whether you summon the familiar that disappeared or a different one.
Remote Viewing. As a Magic action, you can see what your familiar sees and hear what it hears until the end of your next turn.
