While not particularly large or threatening, this is a perfectly round stone ball that is mentally attached to an owner, usually a spell-caster and circles its owner looking for playtime. It barks and sniffs like any puppy, except this is a stone sphere. It fiercely protects their owners, just like a puppy would.
If mentally questioned, it has the intelligence and interests of a standard puppy, protecting its owner, playtime and treats. It seems to be from the elemental plane of earth, but no one is quite sure how it comes to be a spell-casters familiar.
