The original tressym is strangely more durable than a goblin, but other than that, it’s a perfectly serviceable and enchanting familiar. There is another 2e monster that is that is virtually identical, the Jana-qitat, found in the Al-Qadim bestiary, with less magical powers but a giant version. — SaltyGoo
