Animal Mas1c ltem Slots The vast diversity among species of familiars and animal companions often makes it difficult to determine what kinds of magic items are suitable for certain creatures to wear. While wearable wondrous items typically resize themselves to fit a creature trying to wear them, the situation becomes a little more complicated if the creature simply lacks the requisite appendage or body part. The following table presents all of the animal companions and familiars available to characters, divided into general categories that loosely definetheir body type as well as which magic item slots are available to them. Available slots followed by either "(saddle)" or "(horseshoes)" denote that creatures of that body type can only wear magic items in the appropriate slots as long as they are either saddles or horseshoes, respectively(for instance, a hoofed quadruped can wear a saddle efthe sky-river, but not a belt of dwarvenkind). Creature body types marked with an asterisk(*) are able to grasp and carry one object at a time in their paws, claws, or hands, including weapons, rods, wands, and staves, though they may not be able to use such items effectively(GM's discretion) and take penalties for nonproficiencyas usual. Specific animals may be able to wear different types of items as specified in their original monster entry. A complete list of familiars and their sources can be found on page while details on animal companions can be found in the books indicated by their superscript 10, citations below(animal companions without citations can be found in the PaffifinderRPG Core Rulebook and those marked with two asterisks [**] can be found in this book). If you are using animal companions or familiars from another source, you can use the information in this table as a guideline for those creatures. Additionally, GMs may use this table as a guide to determine what kinds of magical gear non-humanoid monsters can wear and use. Note that the rules in this section are merely suggestions, and ultimately it is up to the GM to decide what kinds of animals can use particular types of magic items.
