We have our favorite animals, but let's be honest: what animal would you be?
I would be zebra shark, basking shark or aye-aye.

I would like to be able to fly, but I don't really wanna be a bird, so I would pick being a bat. They are unique and interesting animals.

I would also like to know what it would be like to be other non-human social animals, like for instance bees and hyenas. Social animals can be quite complex or have complex hives, packs etc, and it'd be interesting to see what it would be like to live in one and how they communicate and behave and understand how their minds work.
I think animal behavior is fascinating.

Sloth. All day long. Life at that pace looks perfect.

Well, I already am an animal... :nerdy:



But if I had to be another animal I'd be that animal. LuLu is a brave and happy cat.

I think I am a parrot. They make perfect sense to me.

A snake - like in this thread - it's my animal form :) Even if I don't like snakes and I'm afraid of them.

Bonobo, I already consider myself quasi-spiritually a bonobo to begin with so this question is a no brainer

Neat! :) Did you ever figure out what sort of snake you were? I kept a couple once - they were completely unlike each other. The python was sweet and curious and the venomous snake was aloof and grumpy. They were both clever but in very different ways.

I wouldn't mind a playthrough as H. erectus.

Australopithecus might be interesting too.

If goblins count, I might be a goblin. :nerdy:

I see myself as a thin, light brown snake but I don't know what sort of snake it could be :)

Is it a real snake, or an imagined one?

An imagined one because this is what I see myself as in my mind's eyes :D
