Does it have to be a wolf? Options

[Domi]

I like the idea of a guardian animal, but the thing is, wolves as companions are so overused in the fantasy literature it's not even funny. There are wolves in Jordan, Martin, Hobb and gods only know how many other lesser authors. How about say a spotted lion, bear or some other animal instead?

If you are taking suggestions on a diff. guardian. I have a few suggestions. Since Azure is a Druid so on a earthy/nature style how about a raptor(bird of prey) or like a polar bear, on the lines of the one that they used for a vodka add a long time ago. or if you are going on a fantasy stlye how about a unicorn or even a dragon?

Remember that it needs to be an animal that has ingame animations. While there are birds in the game, they cannot really be used on creatures, as they are more like a part of the scenery.

Polar bear doesn't make much sense so south in Faerun and Dragons are not really supposed to help anyone but their own ovesized ego. But the unicorn is a good idea. I think there was a discussion on unicorns here on the BWL, I'll have to check to make sure. But even if the animation is working, i am not sure if it has any stances different than NORMAL, since I haven't seen it myself.
