M20 has expanded "Bygone" beyond the Bygone Beastiary from Revised edition. These mythical bygones still fall into this category. Also included under this category are: Constructs (Bioconstructs, Material Constructs, and Mental Constructs), Familiars (living spirit), Objects (NPC inanimate familiars), Reanimates (NPC only "zombies", "frankenstein", flesh golems, etc), or Robots (no robo-mages).

For our purposes all "bygones" are either Custos (consors) or Familiars.
