Gukumatz' relationship to Ran'jit

[Anonymoose]

Gukumatz is classified as a "familiar," born of "forbidden foreign magicks, passed down from general to general." Ran'jit refers to its summoning and use as something to be mastered, and the hunt mark Huracan is Ran'jit's father's familiar, suggesting everyone has their own version. (Huracan should have dissolved when he died but he was corrupted by a sin eater and Huracan just...wandered away.)

I'd guess the process has more in common with summoner faeries than not, though it's probably not a 1:1 comparison.
