Notes

The raven is the only standard familiar given a specific name: "Quothe". This is a reference to Edgar Allen Poe's poem "The Raven", and probably also the raven Quoth who appears in Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels (himself a reference to "The Raven").
All of the Find Familiar variants are mutually exclusive; a character can only have one familiar summoned by them of any type. This includes the special summons such as Shovel and Scratch, so be aware of this if you are a Familiar summon-focused class like a Warlock with Pact of the Chain.
The Find Familiar spells ARE independent to the Ranger Beast Master skill Summon Companion, allowing the Beast Master to have two summons simultaneously.
