If you had to adopt and raise one wild, extinct, or mythical animal...

Something sentient. Can't think of a mythic/fantasy sentient animal right now (dragons don't count, too much controversy over their sentience in mythology and fantasy), but if I'm going to be raising it, it better be sentient!



Perhaps a spren dunno if it's considered an animal tho ...

A dragon.

Not one like Smaug or Targ dragons, but like ones in The Chronicles of Pern.

Toss up between a fire lizard and a dragon for me. A fire lizard would be a lot more useful in the day to day, "where the fuck are my keys?" sorts of things. Whereas dragons can fly, but thats pretty much it unless I need something set on fire in a big way.

Oh so many. Where to begin?

A cheetah, a dragon, Ghost the Direwolf, a griffin, a mermaid, a unicorn, a wyvern, an elephant, an eagle to send messages to all my enemies, a phoenix, a Bengal tiger...

So I'm considering this, and here are the criteria I'm using:



1. Is it likely to eat me or members of my family (or turn us into stone)?


2. Would it fit in a NYC apartment?


3. How much work does it require (does it need walks, do its living quarters require mucking out, does it shed, does it need a special diet)?


4. Does it come with any ancillary benefits (wishes, protection, etc.)?


5. Coolness factor.



Weighing all these factors, I'm going with something similar to Lady N. I want a Brownie. I'd be happy to give it its fill of milk, honey and porridge.
