Bonding Requirements

Some combination of social skills is required, based on the failure message:

You sense a lack of social regard from the female mastodon, as though her considers you
ignorant about what it takes to be a member of a community.

It is difficult to say exactly which skills are required, but this familiar was obtainable fairly easily after joining the Brotherhood of Wine and Song and cycling through various easy-access trainers of social skills.
