Known Abilities
Pyxai are native to the plane of Exoma, and by themselves they are formidable predators. They have a breath attack that deals chaos damage, is extremely accurate, and does very high damage. They have the expected claw and bite attacks of a typical feline as well. They can breathe water and can run rather quickly, but cannot fly and do not have night vision.
Petting the Familiar
You pet Felix with your right hand. You sense elemental energies flowing from Felix's body into your spirit.
This replenishes 1 spellpoint per action and provides a modest increase to elemental resistance skills.
Attribute Modifications
Bonding to a pyx grants a very large bonus to Dexterity, moderate bonuses to Intelligence and Perception, and a small bonus to Constitution.
Specialty Bonuses and Access
Bonus specialty degrees and access are provided as follows:
Tier 1

Towards the end of "very frail" bond strength:
- Acid Resistance
- Chaos Affinity
- Earth Resistance
- Escape
- Fire Resistance
- Killer Instinct
- Showmanship
- Swimming
- Water Resistance
Tier 3
These bonus specialties are granted either just before, or just after, the Tier 4 group:

(...and possibly others)
Tier 7
At "resilient" bond strength, the bond will attempt to add more resistance skills, which again require free specialty points. If none are free, the bond will attempt to make free whatever is required:
(possibly others)
Also at "resilient" bond strength, the second tier bonus specialties are increased to 2.

Additional Bonuses and Powers
Towards the end of "very healthy" bond strength, the pyx grants a breathe attack that does chaos damage, and a phlogiston reserve that can be viewed with the command "show phlogiston reserves". The attack uses the Eructation skill for both attack rating and damage.
Traits granted
Chaos favour will naturally come along with the specialties in chaos affinity.
