I'm about to look at the list of animals more thouroughly, but one can never go wrong with cute AND murderous! The snow fox leopard caribou thing sounds cool!

I'm biased bc I love eels, but eel hounds are pretty cool. They're slender, fast, and can run on water. They probably wouldnt work though. There's not much room for many people to ride on :E

I actually really like the sound of fox-leopard (slightly biased b/c foxes are my favorite animals XDD) but I feel like it can be both cunning and cute.

Maybe the shape of a fox, the spots of a leopard, and a size mixed between a fox and a leopard? (This actually sounds really cool. Lithe, cunning, and sometimes cute :P If a hybrid of our own making ends up being the winner, someone should draw art of it XD)

I would definitely draw something like that ovo (it may or may not be the only thing I draw for a while -cough-)

I actually love the eel hound. I think they are cool, but might be a bit intimidating to most people (plus I feel like Zasi my little bundle of bubbly cuteness would be terrified of it.) Yeah, it would be pretty cool though. I also like the idea of the fox leopard. Ugh I'm so torn between ideas!

We could have an eel hound, but it would probably have to be slightly smaller in size than what is shown in the picture. I was thinking maybe no bigger than a horse or bear.

So about the size so only one person or maybe two lighter people could ride it at once?

I found this mongoose lizard and thought he was pretty cute! o: I'm getting a big Toothless vibe from him (the dragon in the movie How to Train Your Dragon). Just like the eel hound, though, we'd have to imagine him a little smaller because he looks huge in this image haha!

@ rumi: I don't think we should get an animal that can fit a bunch of people on it, because that animal would have to be pretty large and our group has to be able to hide and sneak around fairly easily. I think what Drac said was smart -- that if someone gets injured and needs to get away fast, or if our characters need help getting through some type of terrain or obstacle one by one, we have a mount to ride. And it can carry supplies otherwise. I'd say a size that can fit 1-2 people on it.

Yea that's what I meant XDD sorry if that wasn't clear. And the mongoose lizard seems like an interesting choice too ovo

Lol! Please do! I would love to see something like that. M'kay, Kemi, I think fox-leopard is my final suggestion :thumbsup:

A smaller eel hound is a good idea, too. And the mongoose lizard does kind of look like a dragon! But I like foxes a bit more than eels, so I think my vote will stay with fox-leopard. Also, how would we get that small of an eel hound/mongoose lizard? Is it a baby, or...?

Yeah that seems logical havign a smaller animal. Also I love How to Train Your Dragon. (I'm a bit obsessed) I've watched the movies, and all the tv shows about it

As for the smaller sized companions, they could be runts that the circus doesn't want (if we want an eel hound or the mongoose lizard)
