Editing Familiar

[[File:Rewrite_Familiars.jpg|thumb|The image features the three most commonly seen familiars, from left to right: Chibimoth,  Key(Kagari) and Sakuya Ohtori  ]]
'''Familiars''' (魔物, ''mamono'') are artificial creatures used by the [[Summoners|summoners]] of [[Gaia]] to fight [[Guardian]].

Familiars can be made from any substance (living, dead, or near death); some objects like dolls and toys can become familiars if given enough life-energy by summoners. True familiars are sown together using parts or dead creatures and plants or even created from fossils and bones. Some humans can become familiars by various reasons such as [[Kotarou Tennouji|Kotarou]]'s and [[Sakuya Ohtori|Sakuya]]'s over-rewriting of themselves, [[Takasago]]'s turning the dead parts of his body into familiars, or [[Akane Senri|Akane]]'s brain cells turning into familiars through the disease of the ''[[Holy Woman]].''

Connections between familiars and summoners are forged through a '''contract''' (契約, ''keiyaku'').
