what purpose do familiars serve besides being dragon companions? can they help archive lists (like tomo and scribbles)? can they help with the groceries/hunting? what else do they do?
Familiars can assist in a wide variety of endeavors. What a Familiar is capable of depends on the intelligence of its species and the individual themselves.
For example, a companion animal amaranth moth would likely not be capable of sorting through clan records, while a befriended sapient member of a Beastclan may choose to help your dragon with that. Of course, just because a familiar can perform a task does not mean that they will. They may have their own tasks they wish to attend to.

What is the lore for new food and familiars being introduced? Are they species created by the deities, did they evolve, or were they simply never known to exist until now?
Many of the materials, flora, and fauna were known and had existed all along! It's only with the item introduction that you as a player can actually collect them.
A minority of the items are "newly discovered" or made public enough that an average dragon would be aware of its existence.

When do you plan to re-release the cycled items? Do you have a time-frame for them to be cycled out or is it a non-set date for their return?
Cycled items have the possibility of re-releasing on a future date. Many items do not have set dates to cycle back in, but others do. For example, seasonal items are on a set schedule as they follow the seasons (spring, summer, fall, winter).

Would it be possible to see one of your own dragons in the Random Dragon showcase on the main page, or can you only see someone else's dragon?
It is possible. The random dragon is the same dragon for all players at the same time and updates every minute! Any dragon that is not exalted is eligible.

Of all the numbers that could've shown up when you had an unread message, why was it 51?
The couriers received 51 messages on their "account". As they are not a player account and do not actually have an inbox...strange things happened as a result!

If I scatterscroll my custom progen, will there be a chance for her to get any of the new colors or will she still be locked to the original colors since she's a progen and not a new hatchling?
If you scatterscroll any dragon - including progenitors - there is a chance to be randomized into any of the 177 available colors.
