Obligatory: What do you think your Dæmon would be? (lemmy.world)

When I was a kid I decided on a border collie for some reason, but now I very much think I'm a house cat. Lazy, likes the safety of home, antisocial. Not sure what I would name him though, maybe Boris lol.

What about you?

There didn't seem to be any correlation with the main form of the dæmon and who the person was. Some characters I would have though would have had creatures considered "strong" had what would otherwise be prey animals. There's even the tale about the person that didn't like water, but became a sailor to be close to their dolphin (?) dæmon.

So as much as I'd like to choose an animal I would like, random chance would likely decide for me.

Are you sure? All the servant's dæmons are dogs (obedient), and Asriel's is a snow leopard (adventurous). They most definitely correlate to your personality.

All of the soldiers of Bolvangar had dog dæmons too.
