Sabrina Familiars Guide
Every Witch Needs a Familiar
In the world of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, familiars are far more than pets — they are goblin spirits bound in animal form who serve as companions, protectors, and advisors to their witch or warlock. The bond between witch and familiar is one of the most sacred in all of witchcraft.
Salem Saberhagen
Sabrina's familiar takes the form of a black cat and is perhaps the most famous familiar in pop culture. Salem is fiercely loyal, occasionally sarcastic, and willing to sacrifice everything for Sabrina. His transformation from goblin to cat — and the nature of his true form — adds layers to his character.
Other Notable Familiars
Vinegar Tom (a dog) served as the Spellman family's long-time familiar before Sabrina received Salem. Stolas, a raven familiar, serves other witches in the coven. Each familiar has its own personality, abilities, and relationship with its witch. Explore familiar lore in our lexicon.
The Familiar Bond
When a witch receives their familiar, it is a moment of profound magical connection. The familiar provides magical protection, enhanced spellcasting, and emotional support. Losing a familiar is considered one of the most devastating experiences a witch can endure.
