    A dragon, if mythical animals are allowed. Awesome magical powers, and kicking a great deal of ass. Also, the power of flight. Otherwise, I'd be a cat...sitting on my lazy ass all day being fed, petted, attacking toys, small objects, and birds. Yep, that's the life :)

    Hey Eze, I agree with you, a snake sounds pretty cool. Oh and 8people I hadn't originally intended it to be mythical creatures but its fine.

    A raven or a crow.

    Not because it's scary/spooky/cool/black, but rather because I bet it'll be fun and practical. You get to fly, which is probably real tizzite. And you don't have to worry about food - plenty of roadkill, which I've always wondered tasted like. Hygiene? Well, there's always preening. I guess disease is a problem, but, hey, how many sick crows have you seen?

    Wow, someone finally stole a thread of mine! I feel flattered! :p ;) :D
    Well, my choice would go to three different animals, belonging to three really different habitats: the Tiger, the Royal Eagle, the Killer Whale. Three great symbols of freedom, IMHO.
    Also, being an insect (or better, a spider) would be very interesting, a cool change of perspective.

    [​IMG] IF it were to be a mythilogical creature I would say a griffin but if not then definitely an eagle or a wolf.

    A Bengal tiger. They really don't give a **** about anything, they just sleep and eat, and mate with other tigers.
    Or a sloth, so I could sleep for once.

    A dragon, it's so cool flying around and burning everything :evil:
    But if I have to go with a bit more regular animal it would be a raven (as long as I can fly...).

    I think I'd be a tortise. They live over a hundred years, and get to hang out in the ocean. Looks like a fun life.

    If not that, a lion. I want to be Aslan.

    Dunno. I'm not sure I would want to be an un-intelligent being. If I had to pick one, I would probably pick either bobcat (*rather* easy living), or a tortoise (hey, *one-hunddred-years* :cool: )

    We had this thread before, and I said then I'd like to be a spoiled, lazy, pampered housecat. But now I've changed my mind: I want to be a Queen Bee. I'd still get to spend my day being spoiled and pampered, but this time by my loving subjects who are so eager to please me that they try to anticipate my every whim! :roll:

    yes but just think that most of your time would be given up to child birth.

    tortises are land turtles mostly arid habitats. you probably want to be a sea turtle.

    Yes, what a great life that would be. Spend your whole life running from people who are after your shell. Probably end up been eaten by some hungry shark.

    For those of you wishing to be a tortoise so you could live and swim for a hundred years, I HIGHLY reccommend Loggerhead Sea Turtles. They've actually been able to figure out that they can live over 140 years (very different DNA setup from ours) and they swim and are too big to be eaten by anything. :) Kind of like the sea turtles in Finding Nemo...

    As for myself I'd either want to be a Bengal Tiger (I've loved tigers for as long as I can remember) because I'm totally nocturnal and I rather like that and it'd be wicked fun to pounce on things. Otherwise I'd want to be a Canadian wolf or an Amazon parrot that way I'd be super-pretty and could fly around and sing all day :D
