Topic: If you could turn into ONE ANIMAL and retain your SENTIENCE & SPEECH, what would you be?

Posted under General

Basically, I'm asking you what your favorite animal is and why you'd like to be them.

I guess it's no surprise when I say, I'd like to be a Possum or a Rat.
I like trash mammals and their degenerate-like behavior/portrayal.

But the prosepct of being able to think & talk is an added bonus, cause now I can find better ways to get into your house and steal your food.
I can also break into stores and steal all your hard earned money and there is nothing humans can do about it

cause who would believe you in saying "A possum robbed my store" or "broke into my house" I mean a possum & raccoon breaking into your house is almost a given...

WHAT WILL YOU GUYS BE?

Troodon.

Basically just raptors with thumbs anyway, and I get to subsist entirely off meat, no more of this vegetation bullshit, plus, fuck you, I'm a fucking dinosaur.

Tough one because...

how to use items with no thumbs?

Unless we mean like, any animal, real or fake, in which case I have some ideas.

Being an animal in a human society sounds like it would be hugely inconvenient.

That said, I'd like to be a lynx. Anthro if possible.

Are we talking about real-life animals here, or do fantasy ones count?

Because if I can be a dragon, I'll be a dragon.
And if I can't, I'd rather just stay human. I like my opposable thumbs and human-sized human-shaped amenities too much.

I would be a human! Because humans are made in the image of God!! :3

...

... I would be a submissive domesticated cat... qwq

I'm pretty sure any anthro would have quite the opportunity to make a killing on Onlyfans.

If we're talking a sentient feral, though, that gets into complicated ethical territory.

It would have to be a rascal.

A delinquent.

A confounding nuissance in the space it inhabits as it meddles with and wanders through with endless inquiry and reckless abandon.

It would have to stick out like a sore thumb that still comes and goes from sight with effortless ease while still perceiving all things around itself.

To carelessly intrigue and entertain an audience as it's poise and antics garner the attention it neither thought to earn or achieve.

It would have to have irrefutable soul in it's eyes and make a lot of silly faces and many loud noises, and give at once the impression of deep thought and a childish mindset.

To be Of and yet Outside Of, as both a feature of and a witness to, Nature.

Some thing universally recognized in mythology as both a joy and a terror and a being capable of doing others a concern.

Sovereign and beholden to nothing but it's own passions which bind it to unceasing pursuits of fulfillment.

It would probably be orange and able to jump six feet at least, too but alas,

I can't place my finger on what the creature could be.

Everything you said sounds like a Raccoon, Possum, Rat, Mouse, Monkey, Tanuki.
But since you said orange
I guess you mean Fox

Tabby Cat.

I am very content with being a human... that I didn't make the most of it, it's another thing.

If I have to be one feral animal, just for experience, guess I'll choose to either a Fox or a Raven. The Fox, because of the "Yiff" ( =P ), and a Raven to be accompanied by intelligent and interesting friends.

There is no relevant upload on this site to express my bitter discontents.

Is this a permanent transformation or a werewolf-like power?

Either way; a jumping spider, they’re the cats of the spider-verse

That red Panda from the Disney Movie?

By the way, before I forget again, "sentience" is what most animals you interact with on a day to day basis have, we're sapient.

Okay, pedantic nonsense over.

wait... what?...

are you telling me that I've literally been using these words backwards my _entire_ life?

But... why?

=(.

I certainly haven't expressed myself as William James in an inspired day, as someone did...

But still, I guess that a joke with the word "Yiff", would not be considered as rude in this site.

I promise I will elevate myself.

=).

If it's feral and not anthro, a Border Collie because they're so cute. No predators either. Being a cat sounds nice, but I hear them fight all the time outside at night and I'm generally a non-confrontational person.

it's not permanent, you can transform between the two interchangably. But ONLY to that one animal you chose.

AND YES feral guys. FERAL

Good, I was afraid if you shifted to another animal for two hours, it became permanent.

I would be a fucking Silverback Gorilla, piss me off and I'll rip then beat you to a grotesque pulp, also being a gorilla probably be fun to mess around in the streets by messing their mind from a talking gorilla.

Alright, but do try to keep the maiming to a minimum, my guy. 👍 Do that too many times and the next thing you know you'll have 5 stars and swarms of animal control officers after you. Also, you could challenge Mike Tyson. I think he wanted to fight a gorilla once.

Perhaps the last small anthro pegasus, or maybe something cool like a wolf. A stork maybe? Who knows.

Coyote. Permanent. Even losing speech and the "human" part of my mind, no question.

I hate this human body I'm stuck in.

Maybe you should think that through a little more. Wild animals don't exactly have long and pleasant lives. No medical care, guaranteed food, guaranteed housing or even the ability to communicate.

I hate my body, too, but be realistic.

I've considered it plenty. Pressing the button. Coyote me.

Depends on where I'm going to use that transformation.

It would probably be in a McDonalds, and prior to the transformation I would eat a Big Mac.
Then, I would complain to the manager of a awful stomach ache, and collapse on the ground.
While the staff is confused, I start to shift and transform into a bovine, causing mass panic along the customers of that said McDonalds.
And, after a while, I would be taken to a secret facility, never to be seen again while McDonalds goes out of business.

Otherwise I would just be a Meerkat

You win the thread

Probably a jellyfish, that way if I'm about to die of old age I can just turn into a jellyfish and circle back into being young again. Plus, I get to explore the sea

I have many favorite animals, but if I wanted to be an animal, it would be either a sloth, because you can be lazy all the time, or a koala, because you can hang on a tree all day long and have soft fur, or a fox, because fur and all that. I don't know difficult choice.

probably a housecat..... have you seen how they get to live?????

or if fantasy creatures are valid a dragon bc i love them to death (source: my sona)
