How to create a Living Potion
Should a wizard or artificer-- especially an Alchemist
artificer-- choose to use a potion as a consumed material
component of their Find Familiar spell, they create a Living
Potion of that type. Stronger potions, such as a Living
Greater Potion of Healing, may require higher level spell slots
to create, but expending a spell slot of the same level later on
will allow you to resummon that Living Potion until you
summon a different familiar.
Living Potion Variants
Any potion can be animated into a "living potion"-- a special
kind of Flubber-like ooze that takes on the properties of the
potion that it's made from.
For example, a Living Potion of Water Breathing might
have a swim speed, removes the Dissolvable trait, and allow 1
creature to breath water while it's in their mouth. A potion of
poison could create an ooze with a poison attack, dealing as
much damage as the potion would normally do, but the
Living version would need time to recharge itself before using
it again (Recharge 6 perhaps).
Have fun with this idea, and work with your DM. If you
are the DM, think about making the next potion your
party comes across wave at them from inside the bottle!

Innate Healing Properties. During a short rest, the
Living Potion of Healing can slowly help heal
another creature by sacrificing a part of itself. The
living potion may roll any number of its hit dice to
heal a target creature. If it rolls more than one dice,
it can target a new creature for each dice rolled.
Dissolvable The Living Potion takes 1d4 damage the
first time it touches water on a round.
Actions
DRINK ME. The Living Potion of Healing jumps into
the mouth of a willing or unconscious creature, and
is drank. That creature heals for 2d4 + 2 health, and
the Living Potion dies.
