Pallas’s cat
This is the only correct answer.
A bear. They are just adorable and silly and cute until they eat you completely for no reason.
A bear walks into a bar and says “I’ll have a …....…...….….….….….. beer.” The bartender asks: “Why the big pause?” The bear responds: “I don’t know, I was born with them.”
(Pic in OP relevant. Even bear cubs have big paws.)
It’s nice to be on even terms.
Tall horse 🦒
Stupid long horse, but yeah that would be a sick
Assuming their domesticated enough to listen to my commands and ignore their pray drive, on like a magical level, Tiger. Hands down. I would go to the Renaissance Fair with them and commission a blacksmith to forge armor for them. I would ride it into battle whenever necessary.
Edit: I was also assuming no one else has a magically domestic animal. If everyone in this thread also has one, I’ll choose Rhinoceros
With those conditions I would pick a bear/panda or platypus respectively.
I’m pretty sure a Rhino would wreck any kind of bear, the only animal I think i would need to worry about is an elephant, would a platypus be able to penetrate a rhino’s skin?
Hear me out: a bear is useful, fuzzy and could probably squeeze through doors.
A platypus is just perfect, I don’t need it to have combat proweses when I can play with a platypus instead of fighting.
Being the only one with a bear would of course make fighting an option but still I wouldn’t want it to get hurt.
I like and really appreciate how you think. I definitely wouldn’t attack you with my Rhino, but I, personally, will not pick something that would leave me vulnerable against someone else who might. I hope you and your platypus-bear live in harmony🙏
Edit: but just so you know, a platypus wouldn’t leave you completely vulnerable, because they do have poisonous barbs. I’m not sure how effective those barbs are against large animals or humans, but I’m sure it would at least be a good deterrent
So, essentially, you chose violence, be it through He-Man (Battle Cat) or the Teenage Mutant Turtles (Rocksteady).
I just want to be ready, in case everyone else chooses violence.
If, all of a sudden, there were a handful of people that had a magical connection with an otherwise dangerous animal; I imagine, either those people would fight each other or team up against someone with a robot army. Either way, a tiger would have a lot of weak points, even with armor.
Fair point.
For a truly scary animal to have on your side, what do you think of wasps? Airborn, vicious and capable of team work.
You would need at least an entire hive, the rules state only one animal. But if you got a Queen, you probably could control an entire hive🤔 you’ve given me something to think about for sure
Capybara
x2 for the chillest little dudes
Straight up, chill coconut,
Mountain Lion, for home defense. Hard to act tough when your buddy just got dragged up to the balcony by their broken neck and stairs weren’t involved in getting him there.
That is not domesticated. It has dual passive income, no housing costs, and a source of free meals that is more convenient than eating said source of meals. That thing will maul somebody if the arrangement is no longer convenient and aligned with it’s interests.
Point taken. I still think it’s cool though.
i get you but it seems the animal has some kind of sickness that makes it weak
this is crazy
Fennec fox or fruit bat. Perhaps raccoon, or maybe otter. Seals are neat too if there’s water. There’s a lot honestly
Fennec fox
just LOOK AT THESE THINGS
ears
👂
This actually seems realistic, foxes have been domesticated in a short period of time, and fennecs are adorable
Tigers are just big cats.
Red Panda. I want to steal one from the zoo every time I go.
Don’t know quite how things would work out, but definitely domesticat the North American beaver because they’re one of the coolest animals and you can’t convince me otherwise.
Wolf, I call dog
Tbh, a pet that’s friendly and tameable like a dog but physically a wolf would be cool. I think wolves are very cute.
Kind of surprised that I’m not seeing honey badger or wolverine or tasmanian devil.
Pallas cats look very soft, I’d love to be able to cuddle one
Parrots can be extremely intelligent, but are still dinosaurs.
Ocelot
BABOU!!
Lana! He remembers me!
How do you titilate an ocelot?
