What kind of animal would you like to use as your Animal Motifs?

What animal or animals would you like to choose as your animal motifs? And why

You may choose the wolf because is badass, or the shark because is scary, or the penguin because is funny.
Any SFW reason is valid.

Note: Fictional animals like Dragons or Chimeras are allowed too.
Note 2: You can only choose two animals at most. No more than that.

My animal would be the Peacock.
Flamboyant, funny, weird looking, snake killer, aggresive when provoked, I don't know, I just like the peacock. I think it fits me.
Plus, I'm a fan of Lord Shen, Peacock, Cyber Peacock, so yeah, I like peacocks.

Alternative motifs: While I like birds in general as well as cephalopods, I choose the Phoenix, because symbolices the fire, a cool element, as well as Resurrective Immortality because Resurrective Immortality is a cool power (of course, under positive circumstances, like not die by impaling and resurrect WHILE your body still impaled). Also, I like birds.

At first I would have gone with Grey Wolf. Because they are so Badass and Majestic. But then I realised they are not vegetarians. And I am vegetarians.

So then I went with the Crow, because they are smart. But they like shiny objects a bit too much.

So then I thought turtle, but turtles have a hard outer shell. And they are rather slow.

I am going to go with Humming Bird.

For fantastic creatures, I go with the Kitsune.

Snake, Cat. I'm too tired to list reasons, will return too later.

Cats and spiders.

I am obsessed with cats. I make no attempt to hide this. They're mysterious and independent and want love on their own terms, and they're also adorable and hilarious. I can be a bit aloof and mysterious too, but when I care about someone I make it known in my own way, like a cat.

Spiders because it fits in well with my love of knitting... making things with string. Plus I think spiders are awesome. ::::)

I knew you were gonna say cats. Thought the spiders thing actually surprises me.

Snakes, definitely. Jellyfish, as the second option.

Birds, probably.

Cats, obviously. I sleep a lot, have really sharp teeth, and I'm small, cute and distractable. I've actually been compared to a cat by other people. *bats at nearby string of paper cranes*

I like wolves quite a bit. And the phoenix has a very big importance for me as far as mythical animals go. (Some might even say that much of my life consists of rising again after doing something to cause myself to crash and burn. )

Probably the Magpie. I'm rather intellectual and get distracted by shiny things. Also the sparrow, as I like to do things with quickness and grace and find myself flitting from place to place.

Bunnies. That will be all

....Although I will also say Crows are a good fit.

I seem to use lions and variants of them in my work a lot. I'm pretty much connected to cats, in general. I feel like I have a cat's personality in a human body - introverted, don't care what you thin, I'll do what I want and so forth. I am also excessively fond of gryphons and their "part earth, part heavens" symbolism.

Lately, however, I feel like Life is telling me that the Phoenix is my true totem animal because I seem to burn down to ashes and rise up strong a lot.

I have long, claw-like fingernails and a massive beard, as well as a Badass Baritone and a broad torso. The animal people liken me most is a bear, and I enjoy the motif.

The other one I'm often compared is a wolf, because I've been told I kinda look like a werewolf due the fingernails plus beard.

So I'm either a Mormont or a Stark.

Despite my username, I feel like the walrus would make a better motif for me. I like water, and cold weather. I also like how they're Gentle Giants, and not very aggressive. Also, we both eat a lot.

Actually, I have a lot of favorite animals. Maybe my animal would be an Omega Flowey-esque combination of all my favorites.

No, but seriously: Either the walrus, or maybe the octopus. A very creative, unique animal with interesting skills. And, like I said, I love the water.

Cliché but despite me being not super fond of cats I feel like they would probably fit me the most since i'm really lazy, kinda self-centered and i get distracted pretty easily.

I've already been called "Black Oni" in Japan along with a crow (aka carrion-eater). This due to the creepy amount of the number 4 and 9 in my life (to them), along with almost nothing but black clothing. When I practiced karate there, I heard the dogi I wore belonged to a dead guy.

Was a weird time.
