New Familiar: Groundhog

Groundhog Day is already past (we celebrate midwinter differently in Italy, however), but I found nonetheless strange that there are no familiar stats for this pet in Pathfinder. Oh, well. Here they are.

Round shining eyes blink at you before this plump furry animal produces a shrill whistle to alert all its family.

Groundhogs (or whistlepigs, or woodchucks) are burrowing rodents that made their dens underground. Many types of these animals exist, living in different habitats. Groundhogs are typically 16-26 inches long and weigh 4-9 pounds. They are surprisingly good at noticing danger, and use a high-pitched whistle to alert all their colony.
The master of a groundhog familiar gains a +3 bonus on Perception checks.
