A familiar is a creature that has been magically bound to a person as a servant. The actual type of familiar varies greatly; it is typically a small animal (such as a witch's cat), but can be anything, including demons or even human beings. Similarly, the type of bond can vary: in some cases, it is nothing more than the ability to understand what the familiar says (if it speaks) while in others the familiar is the source of the character's powers. But there must be a specific bond; just having a magical creature as a companion doesn't count. The "master" need not be a sorcerer, either — many stories have a normal person gain a familiar by accident, often resulting in trouble.
This is based on the medieval belief that Satan granted demon servants (in animal form) to witches as part of their pacts and that "cunning folk" (white witches, herbalists, folk healers) were assisted by good spirits. The idea has since evolved greatly in fantasy fiction, and even some Science Fiction settings have similar concepts— (telepathic pets, for example, or even a Robot Buddy, especially if animal-like). Compare Bond Creatures, Empathy Pet, Mons, and Right-Hand Cat. The familiar usually acts as an Animal Eye Spy to their master.
Because All Witches Have Cats, cats, especially black ones, are the most common variant for female magic users. Frogs and toads, bats, owls, small imps, and sometimes snakes are also very common. In theory, however, a familiar can be just about anything.
Most modern witches draw a distinction between a "familiar spirit", which is more like your "personal demon/daimon", and an animal "familiar" which is an animal you bond with. Sometimes the term refers to your own alter ego behaving independently; your Shadow Archetype self. In any case, the "familiar" is so called because it stands in a close personal connection to you.
One possible subversion of this trope is for a wizard to (intentionally or accidentally) form a familiar bond with a human being, usually causing hilarity to ensue.
See also Sapient Steed and Mentor Mascot. In Japanese Mythology, a similar creature is called a shikigami; see Onmyōdō for details.

In Pact, familiars are gained by enacting a ritual such as the one found in the book Famulus to contract with a willing Other. Any Other who partakes in the ritual will then take on an animal form. Familiars are important for practitioners because they give them a power source outside themselves that isn't (necessarily) a Faustian bargain and the Familiar gives them a range of additional abilities. The familiars consent to this for varying reasons but mainly to have a foothold in the mortal world and share in the practitioner's power. The personality and traits of the familiar and practitioner are often complimentary. For example, Blake Thorburn's familiar is Evan, the spirit of an 11-year-old boy who died of exposure while trying to escape a demon that Blake later defeated and bound with Evan's help. Evan gains the ability to shapeshift into a sparrow and is kept from having to "cross over" into death, and Blake gains a major power boost and a familiar who excels at finding escape routes and using terrain and opportunity to his advantage.

Pale, set in the same universe as Pact, elaborates upon the familiar-practicioner bond: The familiar bond is an ancient ritual that defines the relationship between man and Other, and often is an indicator of how twisted the relationship between practitioners and supernatural creatures has become-some take familiars as little more than extensions of their will, while the Musser family attacks practitioners who they feel are treating familiars with undue respect to take the unfortunate familiars for their own. Avery Kelly consciously defies this trend when she performs the familiar ritual with Snowdrop, vowing to share freely with her familiar as a friend and companion, and staging the ritual in the realm of the Lost, Snowdrop's people.

In A Night in the Lonesome October, each of the main human characters has an animal companion. Jill the witch has the traditional cat, Jack has a dog (who is the story's narrator), and so on. The nature of the relationship varies; Snuff is an equal partner to Jack (and actually better than him at some kinds of magic that are usually handled by the human), while some of the other characters have more coercive relationships (Owen's squirrel familiar is bound by magic, and when his master dies is quite happy to go back to being a normal squirrel).

Sleepless Domain:
It's implied that some magical girls can have familiars. In Chapter 2, Tessa remarks upon the possibility of a mysterious golden creature being one, though whether or not it actually is remains to be seen; if it is one, the girl to which it is bound remains unknown.
In Chapter 5, Techno Blitz is shown to have the power to create, remotely control, and see through her kiwi bird-shaped familiars.

Daughter of the Lilies: "Familiars" are demonic Drath spirits bound into living or dead animal hosts, to generally gruesome effect. These beings are intelligent and can serve as protectors, aides, or "supplements" to spellcasting, so long as one doesn't mind a shadowy companion that intuitively knows one's deepest insecurities and most painful secrets.

Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney, dealing with magic spells, has "Famalia", which summons a witch's familiar. It's actually a Red Herring, as the spell never actually comes into play during the game and is instead suggested in cases of deliberate misdirection. How the Shades would accomplish enacting it is anybody's guess.

In Master of Magic, familiars are defined by the Wizard's book picks and colored accordingly: Life gives Dove, Death - Cat, Nature - Snake, Chaos - Imp, Sorcery - Beetle. These serve as announcers of events and appear in the magic research cutscene — that blue beetle is bigger than the man's head, by the way.

In Bleach, all Zanpakuto spirits are this on a spiritual level to their respective Shinigami/Soul Reaper. Learning to communicate with and subjugate the spirits within the sword are key components of receiving more power from them.
In the anime, the bounts have something that fits the traditional archetype more closely than Zanpakuto spirits: The dolls. They are servant creatures that bounts can summon to do their bidding. They are bound to the bounts via a contract of power. This means that the bounts must always prove that they aren’t weak and that they are worthy to wield the doll’s power, because if the dolls view their masters as too weak or unworthy, then the doll will turn on its master and kill them.

Honor Harrington: Treecats are a sci-fi telempath version of familiar. Treecats are biologically telepathic within their species and able to pick up the emotions of humans to a fairly granular level. When they encounter a suitable human, they form an intense bond with them, and for the rest of their lives, the treecat and human can, at a minimum, share emotions (and the treecats can communicate knowledge of things like murderous humans via meaningful posture and gestures). The main character of the series has been able to further the bond to the point of also being able to pick up emotions. The "rest of their lives" part had a downside for a long time in that treecats normally live around 200 human years, and would commonly suicide when their bondmate finished their normal human lifespan — in the modern days of the series, this has been mostly nullified by prolong extending human lifespans.

Miraculous Ladybug: The kwamis of the series basically serve as this to the bearers of their respective Miraculouses. While they are meant to stay by their master and must obey any command given to them by the bearer, the type of relationship each kwami has with their bearer varies. Marinette treats Tikki like a friend and mentor, Adrien treats Plagg like an annoying "friend", Pollen acts like a servant to whoever holds the Bee Comb, Hawkmoth treats Nooroo like a slave, etc. The magical connection comes from the Miraculouses, and the kwami can change their bearer into a superhero via an activation phrase. In return, the bearer protects their Miraculous and provides them with food and shelter.

Mother of Learning: Familiars are acquired by bonding the souls of the mage and the animal together. It's technically possible for any two beings with souls to do this, but since the bond tends to result in a subconscious dominance contest, with the stronger soul reshaping the weaker to more closely resemble and become submissive to itself, it's generally a bad idea for both parties to be sapient. On the other hand, by bonding with humans, animals typically get increased intelligence and improved control of whatever magical abilities they possess. Zorian becomes unable to form a familiar bond, since that would risk disrupting the soul marker that is keeping him aware of the time loop.

In Lyrical Nanoha, Arf, the Lieze twins, Linith, Zafira, and the movie versions of the Materials serve Fate, Gil Graham, Precia, Hayate, and Yuri respectively. Zafira says he is a "guardian beast" rather than a familiar, but Arf retorts that it's the same thing. (Yuuno plays a somewhat similar role to a familiar for Nanoha in the first season, and is occasionally taken for one; in reality, he's a shapeshifting mage.)

Familiars are the back-bone of the Shin Megami Tensei series, being a Mon series. Generally Demons are obtained by contracting and negotiating with the demon itself instead of being summoned (though this does tend to happen often enough in the games), and one can combine 2 or more demons with each other to produce a third one. Another difference with the more traditional familiars is that they tend to be stored on computers, and what binds demons to the summoner will is not a spell, but rather a computer program.

Dragaera: Familiars are one of the few things that witches can receive through magic that sorcerers cannot. Vlad Taltos used witchcraft to obtain Loiosh, a jhereg with human-level intelligence. He later gains another jhereg familiar. Lazlo, another human witch, also gains two familiars, a dog and a cat that can change into a wolf and a Dzur respectively.

In Hero Chat, Jagged Stone's pet crocodile Fang is characteristed as his familiar. His link to Jagged means if the Witch/Rock Star is akumatized, then Fang is as well. Fang is able to communicate to his master, which comes to play when Fang shares the conversation between the heroes about Luka Couffaine possibly being Jagged's son.

Harry Potter:
The only pets allowed at Hogwarts are animals traditionally thought of as familiars — owls, cats, rats and toads. They don't appear to have any special magical connection to their owners, although owls, like Harry's, can be very useful, however; wizards tend to use them to deliver messages to each other.
Dumbledore's phoenix, Fawkes, is a familiar in the more traditional sense.
Voldemort's snake, Nagini, though she is also a horcrux.
Strangely enough, the animal that most closely matches the traditional role of a familiar is Filch's cat, Mrs. Norris. This loathsome creature prowls the school grounds for troublemakers and apparently has the ability to summon Filch to her location when she finds them. This is odd, as Filch is a squib, and apparently lacks the magical talent to create such a bond. We later meet Mrs. Figg in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, another Squib, whose many felines serve as her scouts.
The spell "Expecto patronum", which repels Dementors and allows communication over long distances, summons a patronus, a guardian spirit in the shape of a spectral animal that protects the spellcaster. The species of the patronus is distinct to every wizard or witch and reflects the character of its summoner. Thus, Harry's patronus is a stag, Hermione's is an otter, and Ron's a Russell terrier.

Discworld: Played with. Nanny Ogg has a cat, but he's just a pet; Magrat has tried various animals, but none of them lasted for long; Granny Weatherwax has avoided getting a familiar, for fear it would be too familiar. Mrs Gogol's black cockerel Legba, in Witches Abroad, would be the straightest example, except that she privately admits that he's just for show. In The Wee Free Men, the talking toad hanging around with Miss Tick says he's not a familiar, he's just a bit presumptuous. Although Granny Weatherwax is temporarily adopted by a phoenix in Carpe Jugulum.

Final Fantasy XIV:
Arcanists in A Realm Reborn gain the ability to summon Carbuncles, which are arcane entities created to support the Arcanist who summoned them. Upon promotion to Summoner, the former Arcanist can upgrade some of their Carbuncle forms to Egi forms, miniature versions of the Primals fought in the main story, though a side quest can be done to unlock the ability to change the Egis' appearance back to Carbuncles while keeping the upgrade in effect. On the other hand, the other promotion for Arcanist, Scholar, retires the Carbuncles entirely, and instead use a faerie for a familiar, to aid in healing.
In Shadowbringers, the nu mou frequently have familiars called Porxies, small pig-like beings that fly by flapping their sizeable ears. And the Dragon to villain Vauthry, Ran'jit, has a serpent familiar he is capable of merging with to enhance his combat abilities.
In Endwalker, in the area of Elpis, the thinness of the player character's aether (and other characteristics) gives them away as not one of the humans of that world, so they are forced to pose as an unusually gifted familiar belonging to a notable individual. There's also a lot of mention of familiars in that area, and a few familiars of various kinds are seen.

In World of Warcraft, there's a minipet called Kirin Tor Familiar. It looks like a small mana elemental. Some NPC mages have familiars, such as cats, dragonhawks, or servants. Warlock's demons could be considered Familiars, especially if you spec demonology when they provide various beneficial effects for the master.
Frost mages' water elemental might also fit this, as well as the Death Knight's ghoul.

I Woke Up As a Dungeon, Now What? has the taming ritual, which allows anyone who knows it to bind a dungeon minion or a wild animal to their soul. The tamer essentially starts paying the creature's mana upkeep out of their own personal reserves, including the double upkeep if the tamed creature is not adequately fed. The link allows the tamer to wordlessly command their minion and each has a general idea of the other's location, but they do not share senses. Boss monsters and minions with human-level intelligence cannot be tamed, nor can you tame a creature that someone else has already tamed (though the tamer can pass the bond to someone else). Technically there's no limit to the number of creatures you can tame, but very few people have the mana reserves to sustain more than a couple of tamed creatures at once.

Blackwing gets his own Evil Counterpart in the Linear Guild in the form of Qarr the Imp, who's assigned to be the familiar of the Guild's wizard, Zz'dtri (but it turns out Qarr was lying about that and has his own agenda).

Exalted has the Familiar background which gives an Exalted character a supernatural animal companion. At one or two dots the familiar is simply loyal and a bit smarter than a normal animal, starting at three it also acts as an Essence reservoir. Lunars have a note that their choice of familiar is limited by their Totem animal, a rabbit probably wouldn't want to bond with someone who turns into a wolf but a raven might.

The Marat people in the Codex Alera series form intense spiritual bonds with animals they call their chala. These bonds allow them to understand their chala, affect their moods, and the bonding process changes the color of the marat's eyes to match the color of their chala. Typically, a Marat will take on a chala belonging to their tribe or intended tribe (Kitai, for example, is part of a tribe that binds with giant, sloth-like gargants, but she wants to join her aunt in the horse tribe). However, it turns out that Alerans can also become chalas.
Alerans themselves have furies. Furies are nature spirits that when bonded to a person give them control over their respective element and other abilities related to that element (such as earth crafters getting enhanced strength). Strong crafters can even manifest their fury which usually takes on the form of an animal formed out of their element.

Pathfinder, being based on the 3rd edition of D&D, retains familiars as an option for wizards and sorcerers (but no longer has it as the only option in the core) and makes them the source of witches' magic. In addition, any character (except for a scattered few class options that specifically prohibit having familiar-style arcane bond) willing to invest in the feats can gain a familiar through lingering magical potential in their bloodline.
Basic familiar can be from any animal species of sufficiently small size. More powerful characters can bond with more explicitly magical creatures such as fey animals, small elementals, and similar entities.
Each of the main outsider species also has a very low-ranking caste or subspecies, generally the very least and weakest of their kind, that is commonly summoned for use as familiars by mortals of matching alignment who have become powerful enough to bond with them — thus, powerful wizards, sorcerers, and witches can be seen accompanied by things such as angel-winged living helmets, sapient celestial cats, winged mechanical orbs, colorful and airborne wormlike creatures, impish devils and demons, balls of flesh bound in metal and bristling with blades, and the like.
Particularly exotic options include small constructs, including animated dolls; spirits called to possess the character's hand; and an option for Alchemist players to grow a sentient, mobile tumor capable of detaching itself from their bodies and acting on its own.

Daemon Bride is a Fighting Game that's a cross between Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and the Guilty Gear series. Each character is contracted to either an angel or demon that serves as their familiar. An example is Eve having the demon Beezlebub as her partner.

Sabrina: The Animated Series: Like the live-action series, the younger Sabrina and her family own a wise-talking black cat who was once a powerful wizard. A few episodes had her dealing with a witch-hating enemy whose familiar was a magic sniffing anteater. In the spin-off, "Sabrina's Secret Life", Sabrina's Alpha Bitch witch rival, Cassandra, owns a white rabbit who may also have once been human.

The Stormlight Archive:
The ten Orders of the Knights Radiant gained their powers from bonding with spren, though these bonds have not been seen for millennia. Each Order had a different type of spren, which granted access to two different Surges, as well as other abilities. Spren could also transform into Shardblades if the bond was strong enough; all current Shardblades are just the corpses of dead spren, killed when the old Knights Radiant abandoned their oaths.
Honorspren granted access to Gravitation and Adhesion, and made their Knight a Windrunner. Kaladin begins bonding one in the first book, though he thinks she's a simple windspren for most of the book.
Cryptics (also called liespren, though they don't like that term) are the spren of the Lightweavers, granting access to Illumination and Transformation. Shallan gains one in the second book, who she names Pattern. Actually she's been bonded to him since she was a child, but when her mother tried to kill her for being a Radiant, Shallan used Pattern to kill her, and Shallan was so horrified that she blocked out the entire event and tried to forget it, which nearly killed Pattern.
Small, shadow-like spren which Word of God names as inkspren give Elsecallers access to Transformation and Transportation. Jasnah has one named Ivory, though he doesn't like it when she speaks of him to other people.
Explicitly defied by the Stormfather, who makes it clear that he will neither be at Dalinar's beck and call nor be transforming into any Shards. That said, as one of the three spren who are a category of their own, he still grants his Bondsmith the powers of Tension and Adhesion.
Cultivationspren are bonded to Edgedancers and give access to Abrasion and Progression Lift is bonded to one of these called Wyndle, though she insists he's a Voidbringer, mostly because it annoys him.

Dungeons & Dragons:
Early editions have a spell for wizards to summon a familiar; most are animals, but there is a small chance to get a weak monster.
3rd edition makes familiars a class feature of wizards and sorcerers, who can summon or replace them with a magical ritual. It adds feats to obtain more powerful creatures as familiars, for other arcane spellcasters to acquire familiars, and for shadowcasters to obtain a familiar-ish shadow creature. Certain evil classes in the Book of Vile Darkness, once they reach a certain level, automatically gain a minor demon (or devil) as a familiar, whether they want one or not; if they already have a familiar, their new one eats it.
4th edition makes familiars minor spirits that any arcane class can acquire; they can take various forms and can reform after "death" as long as their master lives.
5th edition makes summoning a familiar a first-level wizard spell, potentially usable by wizards or anyone with the Ritual Caster or Magic Initiate feat. There is also an unspecified ritual to make an already existing animal (such as a Pseudodragon) into your familiar. Both the spell and ritual have upsides and downsides, with the spell giving a mystical spirit that's closely tied to your character, while the ritual gives a more independent familiar that can act on its own without receiving orders, but lacks many of the spell's mystical properties.
A homunculus is a magical construct created through alchemy, which serves much the same purpose as a familiar.
The Al-Qadim setting for AD&D 2nd edition features a special type of wizard called the sha'ir; they cannot prepare spells on their own, so they gain a minor genie familiar called a gen to travel the planes pilfering magic for them to use. The consequences of a gen trying to steal divine magic can be most unpleasant.

The Goosebumps Series 2000 book Revenge R Us has a witch named Iris whose crow, Maggie, actually seems to be the source of her powers: petting Maggie while making a wish will cause it to come true. Since she runs a "revenge" business, it's possible this only includes curses. Also, you can only make three wishes per day, or the fourth will rebound on you.

In Never Tear Us Apart, Harry Potter becomes bonded to Lilith Aensland. As it turns out, the part of Morrigan's power that would gain sentience and become Lilith was accidentally released and fused with Lily Evans' unborn child. From then on, she was present as Harry's Not-So-Imaginary Friend, until the events of the Tri-Wizard Tournament caused Lilith to finally break out and gain a physical body. Their bond also has some shades of Magic Contract Romance, as growing up together has made them feel love towards each other.

Appa in Avatar: The Last Airbender would appear just to be a Loyal Animal Companion to Aang, although that it has been hinted that he's more than this and that all Avatars have an 'animal spirit guide' to help them in their life. The first Avatar, Wan, had a Cat-Deer named Mula, Aang's predecessor Roku had Fang the dragon, and his successor Korra has Naga the Polar-Bear-Dog. They have the ability for their spirits to communicate with the next Avatar after death, and they appear to be able to share dreams.

Steven Universe:
Lion seems to behave as a familiar to the title character. He's connected to Steven's mother in some way and he sometimes helps Steven with missions and his powers. Eventually, we discover Lion is a dead animal who Came Back Strong thanks to Rose's powers. The same thing eventually happens to Lars.
A Show Within a Show example, Connie's favorite book series is The Spirit Morph Saganote the first book is called The Unfamiliar Familiar, a fantasy series where people in the world have animal guides as familiars. One joke has Steven saying he doesn't understand what the familiars in the book are, even though he basically has one.

The Young Wizards series has a few characters who fit the bill. It's explained that human wizards who use magic around the house (read: basically all of them) may find their pets getting smarter than usual and developing strange talents due to the exposure. So far we've had a parrot and several koi with prophetic abilities, a dog who can take "walks" through alternate dimensions, a bardic cat, and (at a stretch) Dairene's sentient laptop/wizard manual Spot. In something of a reversal, there are also perfectly normal humans who may or may not (probably not) realize that their pets are wizards.

Shaman King has the guardian spirits. Each Shaman has at least one and a person's strength and potential as a shaman is directly reflected in the guardian spirit they partner with. The type of spirit also has a large influence over what form the shaman's abilities will take (such as Horohoro bonding with a nature spirit from his home in the artic and getting ice-based powers) and what type of medium the shaman uses (like Yoh using a katana as a medium for his samurai guardian spirit Amidamaru).

The Scholomance: Wizards bond animals as familiars by spending time with them and imbuing them with mana, after which they'll act independently on the wizard's behalf. When Liu swears off Black Magic, she starts to do this with the mice she'd been sacrificing. Gwen Higgins, meanwhile, is such a Friend to All Living Things that animals show up and volunteer as familiars now and then.

Nocturne (RPG Maker) allows the player to summon random encounters as familiars after they drop a "core item". The familiar starts with the same stats as the random encounter version, but can gain levels and can customize its stats and abilities via sorcery items. One of the antagonists, Ristill, has Maxwell familiars that can possess a living body. The most remarkable case goes to Khaos, who created a sentient familiar who is almost exactly like a human in a botched attempt to revive his lover.

In Three Dark Crowns, most people living on the island of Fennbirn have a gift. Naturalists are those whose gift connects them to nature — and each of them at one point (usually in childhood) gets a familiar. These range from a small woodpecker to a mountain cat, depending on the strength of gift. Most naturalists seem to have birds or dogs as familiars, but we also see a sea lion (this happens on an island, after all). Familiars share the feelings of their humans, help them in everyday life, and can fulfill their orders — but it is hard to force them to do anything against their will.

Practitioners typically get themselves animal familiars in Faking It while Dipper was unlucky enough to accidentally make Bill his familiar (getting a demonic familiar, even unintentionally, would at least mean jail time). Which of them is actually in charge is also a point of indignation, since while Bill holds all of the power (which is a lot), Dipper is both incapable of being harmed by him and is the only one who can get either of them into the Mindscape.

The spell Familial Bond in Tyrion Cuthbert: Attorney of the Arcane allows the caster to form an unbreakable bond with a creature. Normally this is an animal but can also be a demon, like in Beatrice's case. The mage can communicate telepathically with the familiar over any distance, see through its eyes, and cast spells from its location. There are three familiars in Episode 4 alone, and all of them play a part in the case.

The Death Gate Cycle:
Haplo's dog is somewhere between a familiar and a Soul Jar, being Haplo's soul given independent form. There's probably some deep philosophical meaning behind the fact that Haplo's soul will run off and pilfer sausages if Haplo neglects it, but the books don't go into that.
From the same series, Zifnab and his dragon have this kind of relationship. That is to say, Zifnab is the dragon's familiar, not the other way around.

Familiars are a branch of magic in the Pony POV Series:
Porcina from G1 turns out to have originated as the familiar of a member of Hydia's family named the Glass Witch. Her witch eventually tried to eat her when she made a mistake...but Porcina ended up turning her to glass instead and Porcina became a powerful force in her own right. The rest of Hydia's coven left the Glass Witch to her fate, as killing one's own familiar is considered abominable even by their standards.
Lemon Hearts, one of Twilight's old friends at the School for Gifted Unicorns, has lemons as her special talent. She applies this talent in numerous impressive ways, but the most impressive is using it to create a number of familiars. The most impressive of these is a Kaiju.

Kekkaishi:
The eponymous practitioners summon familiars called "landlords" to aid them in perfecting their abilities. These are basically dog spirits that wear collars to limit their powers.
An actual Landlord formed by a Kekkaishi looks a lot different. Masamori's is a black carp, and Yoshimori's is... something. Possibly a lot of things.

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX also references a bond like the Pharaoh's Memory arc by having some duelists share such a strong bond with a particular monster that they become their spirit partners and thus can communicate with their partner from time to time. (The biggest examples are Winged Kuriboh [to Judai], Ruby Carbuncle [to Johan], and the three Ojamas [to Manjyome], although all three of them can talk to most Duel Spirits in their decks.) Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds also shares this with certain duelists, particularly ones with powerful dragons (such as Luna with the Ancient Fairy Dragon or Yusei with the Stardust Dragon).

Pathfinder: Kingmaker:
The wizard Vordokai has a raven familiar. He speaks through it to taunt enemies from afar and try to trick them into revealing their names, as some of his magical warriors become more powerful if they know a target's name.
Protagonist wizards also have familiars, but these are only represented on the character sheet, not visually depicted. The choice of animals is: cat, centipede, chicken, dog, duck, hare, jerboa, lizard, monkey, rabbit, rat, tarantula, or viper. Each will help the wizard in certain skills, for example, a cat familiar boosts Stealth and Perception.

The One Piece pirate Charlotte Linlin, also known as Big Mom, can create such creatures as part of the power of her Soul-Soul Fruit. She can extract pieces of soul and lifespan from individuals. These pieces of soul can then find their way into various inanimate objects or animals and bring them to life as creatures with human intelligence known as "Homies". Big Mom always keeps three particular Homies with her: A cartoonish-looking sun named Prometheus, a storm cloud calld Zeus, and her bicorne hat, Napeoleon. These three are explicitly stated by Big Mom to be more powerful than normal Homies since they're given life with Big Mom's own soul. Each has powerful abilities in battle, respectively fire, lightning, and the ability to become a sword. Napeoleon has also displayed an ability to get signals from elsewhere and keep Big Mom informed on goings-on around her kingdom of Totto Land. Zeus is later captured by Nami, so during the Wano Arc, Big Mom creates Hera — a new cloud/lightning Homie — to replace him... and devour him, since he's effectively betrayed her. By the end of their battle though, Zeus has officially and willingly joined Nami, having survived Hera's attempt on his life and merged with Nami's Clima-Tact.

What Worse Luck:
The bond allows the mage to draw on their familiar's power to augment their own, and if the familiar has a wild talent the mage gets access to it as well. In addition, a familiar and their bonded mage can always understand each other, regardless of species or language.
Familiars do not have to be non-human. In fact, it's apparently possible to have a non-human mage bond with a human familiar.
The bond between mage and familiar is always supposed to require mutual agreement. Some creatures (such as cats) are impossible to bind without explicit consent by both parties, while for others it's possible but highly unethical.
Familiar contracts are usually written down in the setting's present day. Plagg and Tikki's contract was made verbally, but that was both because it was a long time ago when the traditions were different, and because they had to make their pact in a hurry for some reason.

In Fate/Zero, familiars are briefly mentioned as well as bringing up a certain disadvantage: Magecraft can easily be used to trick or fool one with illusions, so Kiritsugu attaches cameras instead as they are not so easily fooled. Caster also fights entirely through the use of summoned familiars, though they're actually bound to his Noble Phantasm instead of him.

In Fate/Grand Order, it's eventually discovered that the Team Pet Fou is Merlin's familiar, that he sent to Chaldea so he could keep an eye on the situation from Avalon. It turns out that in Fate, the Round Table did not destroy the Cath Palug, and Merlin turned it into his familiar afterward... oh, and Cath Palug/Fou is actually the Beast of Gaia, and has the potential to become the fourth Evil of Humanity, known as Primate Murder. Fortunately, Merlin's and Chaldeas' influence has prevented Fou from going down that path.

Yukari from the Touhou Project games has a familiar (the term they use in Japanese is shikigami, which is related to Onmyōdō) called Ran, who in turn has a familiar called Chen. Apparently, Yukari is so powerful that her familiar can have a familiar of its own. The benefit of being a familiar is that, in return for being a servant, the creature in question shares its master's powers.

Yu-Gi-Oh!:
Yu-Gi-Oh!:
The series' monsters either subvert and play the trope straight depending on what part of the series you're looking at. The bare basics of the card game imply the player is the master and any mon they summon acts as a temporary familiar. Some players don't add any attachment to any particular monster to such an extent and the ones that do don't necessarily add any benefits to the monster in question. The first example of a modern duelist who could see and interact with the Spirits of the monsters in his deck and felt a personal relationship with them was Raphael. It's unknown whether they actually talked back to him when he talked to them.
Occasionally, some cards are seen making independent choices. In the first series, the very first duel between Yugi and Kaiba has the latter attempt to cheat by putting the Blue Eyes he stole from Yugi's grandpa on the top of his deck, then drawing and summoning it instantly. The dragon immediately self-destructs, allowing Yugi to call it back to his own side with Raise Dead (Monster Reborn).
In the Pharaoh's Memory arc where the monsters and their summoners originated from to make the modern-day card game, however, it is played much more straight where the summoners can summon any ka (monster) they can access in exchange for the monster tapping into their master's ba (life energy), but every person also has a primary ka that serves as the embodiment of their soul and is not only much stronger than other kas the summoner can use but whose well-being also affects the health of the summoner directly.
Yu-Gi-Oh! GX also references a bond like the Pharaoh's Memory arc by having some duelists share such a strong bond with a particular monster that they become their spirit partners and thus can communicate with their partner from time to time. (The biggest examples are Winged Kuriboh [to Judai], Ruby Carbuncle [to Johan], and the three Ojamas [to Manjyome], although all three of them can talk to most Duel Spirits in their decks.)

While its engine and gameplay are based on D&D 3.0, Neverwinter Nights diverts from the source in a number of ways, familiars being one of them. Perhaps to make gameplay easier, a wizard or sorcerer PC's familiars are largely combat-oriented (save for one which works as a replacement rogue). They're still animals or weak monsters... but this game lets a wizard have a frickin' panther. Or a hellhound.
For the record, the sequel doesn't do this. You do get a familiar but it can't do much; it is, however, hilarious to see the grumpy, snarky wizard Sand summon his adorable cat familiar.

Come the fourth season, Teekl was killed by fellow Lord of Chaos Child, severing Klarion's anchor to the mortal plane. Klarion temporarily took on a school bus (alongside its driver and passengers) as a familiar in a bid to locate and join forces with Dr. Fate to take Child down. As part of this, he ends up taking on a new cat familiar, also called Teekl.

The Servants in Fate/stay night and Fate/Hollow Ataraxia are technically familiars due to possessing the same type of contract, but the scale is vastly different. A Servant is a legendary hero or villain with even the weakest having powers far beyond all but the most powerful mages or vampire lords. Due to their immense power, they are placed into classes that reduce their burden and are further supported during the Grail War by the Grail itself.

In The Crow, the titular animal is effectively a familiar for the main character although, unknown to the main character, the crow also serves as the main character's Soul Jar — wounding it will remove his Healing Factor, and killing it will make him mortal again.

Warhammer 40,000:
Imperial psykers are often accompanied by a familiar of some sort that boosts their psychic abilities. These range from cybernetic and cloned birds (usually in the form of ravens or two-headed eagles) to the more macabre Cherubim (cyborgs built from vat-grown infants who have mechanical wings and propulsion devices installed) and Servo-Skulls (skulls of particularly loyal servants of the Imperium fitted with an antigravity generator and a machine spirit so that they can continue to serve even in death). To be used as a familiar, all of these are a specialist variants of otherwise common technologies (perhaps with the exception of the psyber-eagle) and are rare and to expensive to make, meaning only the wealthiest or most connected Imperial servants get to make use of these.
The familiars used by Chaos Sorcerers generally take the form of small mutated beasts of daemonic creatures that will, depending on the edition, enhance their sorcerous powers, fight to protect their masters or, in 8th Edition, give the Sorcerer far greater adaptability. One notable exception is Chaos Lord Lufgt Huron; though neither a sorcerer nor a psyker, he was granted the Hamadrya, a small daemonic familiar which casts psychic powers on his behalf.
Aeldari psykers are sometimes able to form a mental bond with the lynx-like creatures known as Gyrinx. This mental bond enhances all the psyker's mental abilities from their Psychic Powers to their basic speed of thought. Human psykers sometimes form bonds with Gyrinx as well, but this is rarer.
Wyvachs are small dragon-like animals that can form similar bonds with pyskers. A wyvach's master can see and hear through their familiar's eyes and ears, but if the two are separated for extended periods of time they become physically and psychologically weakened.
Patriarchs and Magi of Genestealer Cults are often accompanied by Genestealer Familiars, small alien creatures created from the solidified psychic residue of their master. These Familiars perform a variety of functions, depending on their type, such as enhancing their master's psychic abilities or defending them from enemy attacks.

Simon Dark: Gaius, Suzie, and Marty were all once human and transformed into monsters to be summoned to do the bidding of sorcerers. Despite being called familiars none of them have ever cooperated with those who summon them instead killing them for treating them like slaves and trying to bind them. They choose to become Simon's familiars because they're fond of him and need a magic user to tie themselves to the human world, but they're not bound by him in any way and are more friends who can lend him power if they please.

Villains by Necessity:
Valerie's raven Nightshade is hers, doing things such as spy or perform small tasks she orders. She also has genuine affection for him — he's more than just a tool.
Good mages also often have them, usually birds as well.
Kaylana also has a wild cat who acts like this, along with many other animals.
Fenwick's sun eagle is also one, and it spies on the villains for him.
However the downside is that having a familiar requires a kind of psychic link, so any harm is shared. Sam and Arcie quickly exploit the fact when Valerie takes over the group by holding Nightshade hostage until she gives up her amulet. Later, Nightshade fights some familiars of Good mages, and kills two in one go this way.

Yokoka's Quest: Misha is a talking cat who is Azha's familiar. According to Misha, in the Moon Clan, it's a familiar's job to carry their master's belongings (by keeping them in a "storage dimension"). Misha can also shapeshift into a big saber-tooth cat, allowing Azha to ride her, though that may have nothing to do with being a familiar. When not doing any of the above, she mostly just acts like a pet.

Yu-Gi-Oh!:
The series' monsters either subvert and play the trope straight depending on what part of the series you're looking at. The bare basics of the card game imply the player is the master and any mon they summon acts as a temporary familiar. Some players don't add any attachment to any particular monster to such an extent and the ones that do don't necessarily add any benefits to the monster in question. The first example of a modern duelist who could see and interact with the Spirits of the monsters in his deck and felt a personal relationship with them was Raphael. It's unknown whether they actually talked back to him when he talked to them.
Occasionally, some cards are seen making independent choices. In the first series, the very first duel between Yugi and Kaiba has the latter attempt to cheat by putting the Blue Eyes he stole from Yugi's grandpa on the top of his deck, then drawing and summoning it instantly. The dragon immediately self-destructs, allowing Yugi to call it back to his own side with Raise Dead (Monster Reborn).
In the Pharaoh's Memory arc where the monsters and their summoners originated from to make the modern-day card game, however, it is played much more straight where the summoners can summon any ka (monster) they can access in exchange for the monster tapping into their master's ba (life energy), but every person also has a primary ka that serves as the embodiment of their soul and is not only much stronger than other kas the summoner can use but whose well-being also affects the health of the summoner directly.

Familiars are fairly common in the Nasuverse and not much notice is really taken of them unless they are exceptional.
In Tsukihime and Kagetsu Tohya, we get the first introduction to familiars in the Nasuverse: A mage takes a dead body, places a soul inside it, and reanimates it by forming a contract. The new being is neither of the two things that went into making it and usually acts as a servant or assistant to the magus, such as being used for surveillance, combat, or use of special abilities. A magus generally needs to supply mana to the familiar, which limits how many a normal mage can possess, but Len has adopted some succubus traits and is thus capable of feeding on her own by manipulating dreams.
The Servants in Fate/stay night and Fate/Hollow Ataraxia are technically familiars due to possessing the same type of contract, but the scale is vastly different. A Servant is a legendary hero or villain with even the weakest having powers far beyond all but the most powerful mages or vampire lords. Due to their immense power, they are placed into classes that reduce their burden and are further supported during the Grail War by the Grail itself.
Tohsaka also creates bird familiars out of crystal while Caster uses dragon tooth bone golems. They're both pretty weak.
In Fate/Zero, familiars are briefly mentioned as well as bringing up a certain disadvantage: Magecraft can easily be used to trick or fool one with illusions, so Kiritsugu attaches cameras instead as they are not so easily fooled. Caster also fights entirely through the use of summoned familiars, though they're actually bound to his Noble Phantasm instead of him.
In Fate/Grand Order, the Demon Gods/Pillars are ultimately revealed to be the 72 familiars of King Solomon. It speaks volumes as to how powerful Solomon is that he controls 72 such beings, as each of them can match a team of multiple Servants in combat.
In Fate/Grand Order, it's eventually discovered that the Team Pet Fou is Merlin's familiar, that he sent to Chaldea so he could keep an eye on the situation from Avalon. It turns out that in Fate, the Round Table did not destroy the Cath Palug, and Merlin turned it into his familiar afterward... oh, and Cath Palug/Fou is actually the Beast of Gaia, and has the potential to become the fourth Evil of Humanity, known as Primate Murder. Fortunately, Merlin's and Chaldeas' influence has prevented Fou from going down that path.

Zoo City refers to these as Animals. They appear to someone who's suffering from trauma-induced guilt, usually but not always relating to someone's death. It seems that their owners always feel affection for them—at the very least, the "animaled" will suffer severe panic attacks if they're ever separated from their Animals. Animals can live indefinitely while their animaled lives and will survive for several months if their animaled dies, but if an Animal dies, a mysterious darkness will appear and swallow up the corresponding animaled. (The animaled also gain a supernatural power, but this power may or may not have any relation to the Animal.)

Negima! Magister Negi Magi:
While Chamo and Negi really don't seem to have a special bond, Negi officially makes Chamo his familiar so the latter has a valid excuse for staying at Mahora.
While animal familiars seem to exist, as Chamo suggested becoming Negi's familiar himself, humans are more often than not the familiars of mages. The pactio system specifically is stated to be exactly this — a master/servant relationship magically connected by the ritual. And while there are tons of people shown to be involved in a pactio, almost nobody has been shown with an animal familiar.

The Hollows:
People using ley-line magic can use animal familiars to help them in handling the energy of the line safely. This is somewhat hard on the familiar as an accident in handling the energy will hurt the familiar instead of its master.
Demons use sapient beings such as humans, elves, witches, or even other demons for their familiars. This is considered to be a Fate Worse than Death and is often a result of making a Deal with the Devil. Demonic familiars are slaves to their masters and suffer physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. Even worse, the Black Magic used by the demons creates harmful "smut" that can pollute their aura, but the demons transfer this to their familiar instead.

Mage: The Awakening features Familiars for the title mages, creatures that are actually manifested spirits capable of using Numina (spirit powers) at will. Those with a good knowledge of the Spirit Arcanum even have the ability to summon temporary familiars at will. Mages decently versed in Death magic can bind ghosts as familiars instead.

In The Familiars series, a familiar is an animal, that usually has magical abilities, with whom a wizard has found a magical connection and communicates with via spell. However, unlike most fictional works and hence the title, the series focuses mainly on, not the human wizards, but the familiars themselves. Particularly three familiars:
Aldwyn, a seemingly ordinary cat who actually has telekinesis.
Skylar, a blue jay who can create illusions.
Gilbert, a tree frog who can see visions in puddles of water.

Baldur's Gate (mostly) follows the second edition AD&D rules, but makes the familiar summoning a lot more forgiving, albeit still rather harsh. Which familiar gets summoned is determined by the mage's alignment: for example, a fairy dragon for Chaotic Good, an imp for Lawful Evil, etc. Familiar gives the mage a hit points bonus plus some other small benefits; but if it is killed, the mage loses one point of constitution permanently.

In Ars Magica, Hermetic magi often have familiars because they are amazingly useful. They can help you not botch your spellcasting rolls, resist mind control, resist physical damage (and heal it when it happens), not drown, starve or die of thirst, and resist aging. And that's just from the magus-familiar bond. You can add special powers later in the lab. Magi from House Bjornaer (who have the special power of Voluntary Shapeshifting) are unable to form the magical bonds necessary to create a familiar, and "No Familiar" is a flaw available to other magi; taking this flaw sometimes causes one to be mistaken for a Bjornaer magus.

Durarara!!: The Headless Horseman Celty has a black motorcycle that is actually her familiar; he normally takes the form of a horse but transformed into a motorcycle to hide in the modern world. It's mentioned that Celty has the ability to un-summon him, but without her head, she's lost the memories of how to re-summon him, and she's not sure what would happen to him while he was gone.

Familiars play a fairly important role in Kingdom of Loathing, and certain familiars are vital to complete some of the higher-level quests. This being KOL, they are somewhat stranger than in other fictions (Sabre-Toothed Lime, Blood-Faced Volleyball, Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot, etc.). They have several possible functions, such as restoring your HP and/or MP, damaging your opponent with physical and/or elemental attacks, weakening and/or disrupting your opponent during a fight, increasing the number of items and/or meat, and/or stats you get when you win a fight, or any combination of these. Black Cats deserve special mention because they create bad luck for the player: they reduce the number of items and stats you're awarded after winning a fight, they regularly strip you of beneficial status effects and drain your MP, and they usually prevent you from using skills, spells, or items in combat. Basically, they do everything short of attacking you directly. However, using them exclusively can let you permanently unlock Bad Moon, a special harder-than-hardcore difficulty level.
Additionally, pastamancers have a variety of pasta-based entities that they can establish contracts with and summon in combat up to ten times a day, which are probably closer to traditional familiars.

Charmed (1998), of course. Familiars guide new witches until they can fend for themselves. The sisters had a feline familiar, who was turned human because she guided good witches. Inversely, an evil familiar got turned into a warlock when he killed his witch.

In Aura Kingdom, all Envoys are partnered with an Eidolon when their powers awaken. Gameplay-wise they act as partners in battle, able to perform combo attacks or soak up damage for you. In the story Eidolons also share a Psychic Link with their Envoy, letting them sense their emotions (Whether the Envoy wants them to or not).

The Charmers in Yu-Gi-Oh! may count. In their artwork, small monsters can be seen alongside human spellcasters.
They definitely count, if the closely-related Familiar-Possessed archetype is anything to go by.

In Queen of All Oni, the Evil Sorceror Lung the apprentice of the by-then deceased Daolon Wong, tries to force Jade into becoming his, so he can command all her forces. Not only does she not submit, but this attempt gets him killed by her vengeful minions.
The Matriarch, Jade's future self, is shown to have a snake familiar called Mohinder.

In There's More Magic Out There, Alix Kubdel's attempt to subdue full-moon werewolf Chloe Bourgeois ends up turning the latter into her familiar after she uses the wrong spell. The familiar bond allows them to feel each other's pain and emotions, enough that not only can be akumatized at once, Alix could siphon the transformation pains when Chloe is under a fullmoon. The pain was so intense that Chloe broke the bond to protect Alix.
After rekindling their familiar bond, they then gain a Psychic Link that lets them share each other thoughts.

The Owl House: In the Boiling Isles, most witches have a "Palisman", an animal familiar that can transform into a magic staff, which their witches can use to fly and cast magic. Teenage witches used to carve their own Palismen from the wood of a Palistrom tree as a coming-of-age ritual, but as Palistrom trees have gone nearly extinct, the Hexside students and Hunter get to adopt existing Palismen instead, by voicing their deepest wish and letting a Palisman choose them based on their emotions.

To a lesser extent, Rei Hino's twin crows, Phobos and Deimos. In the manga, they have the ability to transform into Sailor Senshi themselves.

Come the fourth season, Teekl was killed by fellow Lord of Chaos Child, severing Klarion's anchor to the mortal plane. Klarion temporarily took on a school bus (alongside its driver and passengers) as a familiar in a bid to locate and join forces with Dr. Fate to take Child down. As part of this, he ends up taking on a new cat familiar, also called Teekl.
