Animagus Registry #321-340
#322 - exoticrooftile - European Otter
On being presented for my animagus choices, the European Otter immediately stood out to me. I make no pretence to be any sort of animal expert; this initial connection was based upon nothing more than a memory of reading Tarka The Otter as a child. (Admittedly the Sea Turtle also appealed to me because of Finding Nemo, but perhaps it is better that I do not base my animagus form on 150 year old hippies riding the EAC)
The more research I did, the more solidly I was comfortable in choosing the otter. European Otters have not always had it easy. In 1978, there was a sudden widespread decline in their population, and for many years they were endangered, even becoming extinct in some areas of Europe. Now, although their populations are still small, thankfully they are on the up again. I like that the otter has experienced ups and downs. I like that it has been able to bounce back from adversity and has proven that it is not such a pushover. Although I have never experienced anything truly terrible in my life, I consider myself pretty resilient and am proud to share this characteristic with my animagus form.
Resilience was not the first thing I noticed about my animagus form. That was independence. I was pleased to see that all four of my options were fiercely independent creatures, pretty solitary and capable of looking out for themselves. This, more than anything is something I need my animagus to have. And I think more than any of my other options, the otters have this balance right.
They each have a large territory - many kilometres squared and are protective of it. No other otter of the same sex may enter their territory, and I strongly identify with the whole ‘my space - GTFO’ attitude. But they are not loners. Their territory will overlap with than of the opposite sex, and they may spend time in pairs. This echos one of my goal is life (one of the goals in I suspect most people’s lives) - to find someone to share your enjoyment with.
Female otters are also the more responsible of the species. They take on the job of raising their children, and they do so by themselves. They clearly have the inner strength and the physical ability to look after themselves and another life, a quality I value very highly.
One thing that made me choose the otter above my other options was its versatility. I stated that the ability to roam was a necessity for me, and otters do that brilliantly. Not only do they have large territories - which some of my other choices also had - but they roam in a vast range of mediums. They are land creatures, but they also spend much time in the rivers, and this particular subspecies of otter may often be seen swimming in the sea. About the only thing they can’t do apparently is fly. Which, you know, would have been cool but I can’t think of a single animal that can claim it’s territory to be spread across land, sea, AND air. So perhaps that would have been too much to ask.
There is one final reason I love the European Otter so much. This quote: The otter prefers to eat fish and eels, however it usually eats whatever is easiest to catch. Excellent. I don’t want my animagus to be too proactive - I work very had to maintain my degree of laziness so my otter damn well better too :)

#323 - rhetoricians - Great Dane
I am so excited about my Great Dane option! The first thing I think of when I think about Great Danes is how tall and gangly they are - they step on everyone and everything and honestly have no idea how they can be in the way, they're just so happy to see you and people and everyone and anyone they can get their paws on. They have no grasp on their size, and consider themselves lap dogs even though they're very clearly not. I love cuddling, and I have a very large chest, so sometimes I'll go in to hug someone and have no idea that it's just not feasible for me to do something like that. I can look mean - and so can Great Danes - but I'm actually really sweet and affectionate underneath the gruff exterior. I don't exercise a lot, but I love to run around outside with my friends, and Great Danes definitely love to run. I'm really easygoing and a people-pleaser, and above all I just like to lie around with my friends and make them happy - I love making others happy. I feel like a Great Dane is the most perfect fit for me, and I'm ecstatic to have it.

#324 - katshakespeare - Genet
I have always felt a connection with cats, having grown up with them and been around at least one cat for my entire life. Though the genet is not related to cats, it is a very cat-like animal. Besides its similarity to a cat, the genet’s tail drew me in immediately. Genets have tails that are almost as long, if not longer, than their body. They use their tail for climbing and to maintain balance. Their markings, mainly bands and spots, are beautiful and attractive to me, something else that I find important. While I don’t always look good, I like to look good.
Adult genets are relatively solitary creatures. They do not live and rely on packs. They prefer to be alone, which I do as well, unless they are with family. I find that I enjoy my family’s company a lot but prefer to spend lots of time alone too.
I have also determined that genets are very clean animals. Domesticated genets can be trained to use a litter box and like keeping it and themselves clean. I don’t necessarily mind clutter, but I dislike dirt and uncleanliness. I prefer to live somewhere clean and well kept. A genet does have a smell, which I will admit turned me off a bit, however their smell comes from secreted glands and it released to get rid of predators. I think this, when coupled with a genet’s agility and ability to get away quickly, is a great trait to have.
Genets use both their tail and their semi-retractable claws for climbing. While I personally do not have very much upper body strength, I appreciate my animagus form’s ability to climb with claws. I enjoy being high up and hidden among tree branches and leaves.
Of the forms selected for me, this is the one I honestly knew the least about. However, immediately upon my beginning my research, I knew this was the form that I felt the most comfortable with. The genet is a small creature without being tiny. It knows how to fight of predators, is playful and curious, and has an awesome tail. I really feel like my connection to cats comes across in my form being a genet. I will still get along with cats without being one, without the territorialness that happens when female cats get together. In this case, I will be able to exist alongside them, as I do in my human form.

#326 - confluents - North African Hedgehog
I've chosen the North African Hedgehog (also known as the Algerian Hedgehog, the African Pygmy Hedgehog, among other names) as my animagus. This is a small animal tame enough to keep as a pet. Like me, they are nocturnal and often hard to track in terms of population and preferred habitat-I work overnights and am usually asleep during the day, and my real life friends often don't hear from me for long periods of time. Not much is known about these animals, much like me.
The North African Hedgehog is smaller than it's European counterpart, and I can certainly sympathize with that; I'm barely over 5 feet tall myself, much shorter than many people my age. It's the only one of four African species of hedgehog to be found outside of Africa (I do like to travel, and wish I did more of it). This hedgehog can be found in many different environments, from grasslands and pastures to gardens and parks, so they're adaptable, like me. Their spines are typically white with darker banding, which often resembles my hair a few months after it's dyed--my original color is a darker blond, and I like to dye it a lighter color.
Although this is a very cute animal, threatening or scaring it can be a bad idea. When provoked, they curl up in a ball with their quills pointing out, though tame hedgehogs rarely do this. I identify with them in this way, as I'm very friendly and sociable, but you wouldn't want to get on my bad side (though I suppose I'm the “tame” version--my friends can get away with a whole lot, and it's very hard to make me truly upset).

#327 - nathaniel_hp - Orca
My first thought when received my list of animagus choices was "Orca? Brilliant!", the second "An orca is a pretty inconvenient animagus form, isn't it?". Now, what to do? In the end, I decided that I can always Apparate to the seaside if I want to transform. I also decided that I would more likely use my animagus form for escapist purposes than anything else. And the orca seemed like the best choice for that.
I like the fact that I wouldn't have any natural predators and that I could make myself at home in all oceans, thus not being restricted to a small habitat.
Since I have an affinity for Antarctica, I think it's pretty neat that I'd be able to spend my Animagus time e.g in the Ross Sea.
Orcas are social animals, yes. That's not necessarily my strong suit. Then again, I don't have anything against small, close-knit groups, so that would work out fine after all. If all else fails, I'll just become one of those orcas who live by themselves mostly, only joining groups when they feel like it (and to mate, although I think I might forego that part of the deal).
While weighing pros and cons, I already knew that the Orca would indeed be a perfect choice for me. I love the water, and I love swimming. In fact there are few better things than to jump into a lake or the sea and everything instantly becomes quieter and calmer.
For various reasons, I don't go swimming nearly as often as I like these days, and it would be neat if I could make up for that in my animagus form.

#329 - muhnemma - Raccoon Dog
On receiving my choices, I was pulled immediately towards two animals: the European Mink and the Raccoon Dog. During my research I discovered that I had a lot in common with the latter, and learning more about some of its fascinating traits increased my initial interest. After a lot of thought I’ve settled on the Raccoon Dog as my animagus.
The Raccoon Dog is a secretive and quiet animal, so much so that unlike other dogs it doesn’t bark but makes noises similar to those made by domestic cats. This is something I can relate to as I’m very quiet around people I don’t know, and avoid crowds whenever possible. I can also see my tendency to form deep bonds with one or two people reflected in this animal’s behaviour. Despite its solitary nature, when the Raccoon Dog finds a mate they remain together for life.
In Japanese folklore the Raccoon Dog, or Tanuki, is a mischievous trickster figure with the ability to shape shift. Parallels can be drawn between myth and reality as the Raccoon Dog often plays dead as a defence mechanism to avoid predators. In this ability I can see two traits that I take great pride in: adaptability and perseverance. This adaptability is further reflected in the diet of the Raccoon Dog; they are “opportunistic” in their search for food, sometimes climbing trees to reach fruit, utilising “man-made supplies of food” or, in the case of those living in coastal regions, scavenging crabs and fish.
I can also relate to several features of the Raccoon Dog’s physical appearance. Like me, they are small in stature with short legs. Their coat becomes extremely thick during the winter, which is similar to my very long hair. We share a dislike of extreme weather: in the spring they can be seen sunbathing and they spend the winter in hibernation. They are largely nocturnal, and I have always been most active and productive at night.
Further endorsement for the Raccoon Dog came from a friend who has seen one. Asked whether he could see any similarities between me and the animal, he replied: “It looked grouchy and sleepy - It’s you all over”.

#331 - duskspoken - Melanistic Jaguar
Since I have an incredible love for large cats, well felines in general, I have chosen the Melanistic Jaguar for my anigamus form.
I chose the Melanistic Jaguar over the clouded leopard for many reasons. The ‘black panther’ big cats have always been a favorite of mine but while reading out the different cats I feel the jaguar would better suit me than the leopard would. Jaguars live mostly in the rain forests and around areas with water sources, they hunt in or around the water and use streams and rivers to move around their territories as well as to keep themselves cool. They sometimes spend up to half of their day in water. I personally love water, when I was younger it was hard to get me to come out of the pool or lake. As I’ve gotten older I tend more to only use water to bathe and keep cool rather than to play.
Jaguars are solitary creatures, they come together only to mate and then leave each other once that is completed. Cubs only stay with their mothers for two years before going off on their own. I’m fairly solitary. I enjoy doing things on my own and being by myself. There are occasions when I enjoy being with other people but for the most part it’s not something I seek out everyday.
”They seem to wait for you to open the wrong door or stand too close to the fence so that they can get hold of you.”
I found that quote in a book I read about jaguars and I interrupted it to fit me in the sense that I am wary of people. I tend to wait for the other shoe to drop and for people to disappoint or backstab me in some way. I think in that way that quote about jaguars fits me very well.
Jaguars are said to be nocturnal animals and rarely seen during the daytime. This fits me perfectly in the sense that I am more awake in the later hours of the day time. When I was younger I would stay up until dawn and sleep during the day. Since I’ve gotten older the latest I can stay up is about 2 am but I’m really not good to anyone before 10 or 11 am.
The biggest reason I chose the Melanistic Jaguar is because of my vast amount of freckles. Both the black coloring in jaguars and my freckles are forms of genetic melanism. Freckles are concentrated melanin that is visible and usually found on people with fair skin. It is genetic and passed on and appears after unprotected exposure to the sun.

#332 - adonniel - Great Roadrunner
I feel that the Great Roadrunner is the most appropriate animagus choice for me. I am not the most social person, and this bird also tends to stay out of the flocks in favour of hanging around solo. It is not large, nor overly aggressive, but it is not an easy prey either. Similarly, I prefer to stay out of the scandal’s way, but I would not tolerate getting ‘pecked’ either. The bird had versatile skills, it can fly a little, it can run, and it builds its nests in the rather prickly spaces, near cactuses. In my life I have moved from place rather often, and in each environment I had to learn various skills to help me get by, so flying, skipping, hiding, and running are all metaphors to some of the changes I had to undergo to adapt. The bird’s coloring is grey, which means it does not stand out from seven miles away, and similarly I do not favour the spotlight or being some great leader at the center of attention. Yet, the bird’s colouring also contains minor bright details, such as blue markings above the eyes; and I interpret these marks as signs of my creativity that distinguish it from the regular grey world. This bird lives in the hotter country, associated with the heat and the sun. I always felt connection to things which are sunny. I am not a grim person on the average day. So adaptable, creative, self-reliant and sunny, are definitely things that can be applied to me and to the Great Roadrunner, and for this reason I choose it to be my animagus.

#334 - pickle_breath - Tayra
The first thing that caught my eye while researching my options was that the Tayra was noted often as being playful, fun and easy to tame. Maybe it's my unhealthly need to be liked, or strong desire to please everyone but I feel as if my form would have to be able to be around the regular population. The Tayra is also exotic, interesting and (at least in my social circle) not well known. The Tayra is also just on the edge of being classified as an endangered species, I do like to fancy myself as one-of-a kind and different from my peers. The body form: slinky, long and sly, is very appealing to me. The ability to sneak around and squeeze myself into small spaces would be quite a bit of fun, not to mention useful! the Tayra and I also have several favorite foods in common, eggs and honey! (Though unlike the Tayra, I don't think I'd eat them together...) All in all, though before this process I had never heard of this animal, I feel strongly connected to it after my research. I guess you never know what animal is going to jump out and say "HEY BE ME!"

#335 - deevice - Grey Fox
Hands down HAD to be the grey fox (going with the english spelling here because the american one gives me hives). Starting with the superficial, my natural hair colour is a light, almost grey brown with strategically placed auburn highlights. A case of what happens when you mix irish and greek. The greek also gave me big brown orb like eyes, which I also share with the grey fox. They can be wide and full of wonder, or dark and narrow, full of warning. The grey fox is smaller than the red, but can weigh as much. A little deceiving, just like me. People always assume I weigh less than I really do based on my height (5"2). They also have shorter legs and are stockier, mirroring my own proportions perfectly and, like me, if food is readily available they can get a bit of a paunch. Which I most definitely have done as of late.
Digging a little deeper, the grey fox has truly unique behaviour. A little (lot) like me. It's the only canid (apart from the raccoon dog) to be able to climb trees. And BOY, do I love to do that. I always wanted a tree house growing up but we were too poor, so, I just took the bare essentials like a book and pen to highlight what I liked and cross out what I didn't, and made my way up to the topmost branches where I'd sit in isolation for the better part of the day. They do it to escape predators (in my case parents), but also seem to do it just for the fun of. Practical AND playful.
They often make their dens in trees too, in hollows or stumps, where they sleep during the day and stave off the cold of winter. Did I mention they're nocturnal? *squee* I love being asleep when everyone is up and active during the day and playing when everyone is tucked up in bed. I also get chilly very, very easily so tick and tick.
The grey fox, although not as widespread as its red counterpart, is way more aggressive and domineering. In a case of both kinds wanting the same stomping grounds, the grey fox will stave off a red invasion and hold steady. MIGHT have something to do with the fact that they're super territorial *another squee*. It's not something I'm super proud of, but, seeing as it brings me closer to my animagus form, I'm going to go with it being a good thing for the time being. I can be a little cho, when it comes to jealousy. I guard and covet the places I love and find it very difficult to share them. The safer I feel in a place, the less likely I am to invite anyone else into it. If anyone tries to force their company on me, I feel VERY threatened. And often lash out in a less than stellar way.
This animagus is perfect for a ravenclaw with gryffindor leanings. It's a good thing that's what I am. I love this little fella, and am so, so glad I got the chance to choose him as a representation of me. I think we suit.

#336 - ayanamiii - Ocelot
Though I was also suggested the Margay, a very similar animal to my choice, I had to choose the Ocelot. It's an animal I absolutely love as far as aesthetics go, and I was shocked to find just how much I could relate to it.
The ocelot is incredibly territorial and will fight to the death to protect it's territory and it's offspring. While I'm not a particularly outgoing or aggressive person, I will fiercely protect those I care about. Whenever anybody I love is at all in trouble or victimised in any way, I absolutely must protect them and fight for them, especially when I know that nobody else will. When the Ocelot is threatened, it will snap and fight tooth and nail to protect its home, itself, and its kin. This is a trait that I can especially relate to, and it's actually the trait within myself that I admire most.
However, the Ocelot does not really have many that matter to it. They are usually solitary, usually only meeting with other Ocelots to mate. They do sometimes share their space with another Ocelot of the same sex, which is sort of how I exist: I'd rather be alone than in a herd of people, and I only choose to spend my time with others when they really matter to me and on my terms. I don't like being pressured into socialising, so a solitary animal definitely fits with me. It definitely only accept socialisation under its circumstances, which fits me very well.
Although fierce, the Ocelot can be very adorable and cute once she is drawn out of her coldness and ferocity, and this is similar to myself. Those who are close to me see my gentle, loving and yes, even cute side. Ocelots are very much capable of being tamed by others if they offer enough time and energy to them, and this is exactly what it takes to "tame" me: time, energy, and commitment.
Lastly, physique. I wanted something quick and agile and resembling my physical appearance, and the Ocelot does just that. It's petite and lithe, but bigger than other jungle cats like the Margay. Also, it spends some of its time in the trees while resting and sometimes hunting, but is also very much a ground animal, able to exist in both. It's nocturnal, like I am--or would like to be--and it lives in a warm climate but still under the cool canopy of the rainforest.
Overall, I'm absolutely tickled to have my form be an Ocelot! :D.

#337 - muffinpatronus - African Wild Dog
When I first saw my choices I was convinced that it was going to take me ages to choose and I almost doubted I would be able to single one out at all, because all of them were so damn awesome! I did it in the end though, after some reading and thinking and wondering and shouting and screaming I decided that the African Wild Dog fits me best.
They are pack animals and while I'm not a fan of big crowds, I like it better than being alone for long periods of time. When they hunt they make sure that everyone, even the sick and old, get their share and they handle disputes over food or dominance by "talking about it"/begging rather than by fighting. Especially the last point just screams me, because I like to stay out of fights and feel much more comfortable talking about things even if it sometimes means that I have to "lose". They also switch the babysitter jobs around, so that even mothers can join the hunts every now and then, and I like this little hint of equality (and fun, because I think hunting is fun and in the video clips I've seen of their hunts they really look like they're having the time of their life) for everyone, because I care about that myself.
I read somewhere that even though the colour of their fur seems really random, members of a family actually have similar patterns and amounts of colour and that's how they recognize each other. I thought I'd mention this because it's been noticed so much by me and others how much I look like my parents and grandparents, and I think it's cool how the African wild dogs recognize each other so much by appearance, like humans do.
Last but not least, some superficial stuff: they hunt and eat meat, and meat is one of my favourite things! They are also adorable and so pretty and I just love the way they walk (I watched some video clips)! Aaand I also think the African Wild Dog will get a special place in my heart because of my sometimes freaky love for African wildlife documentaries... Lions, hyenas, zebras, meerkats, giraffes, elephants, dogs, and everything!
They just seem very caring and social to me, more than a lot of other animals, two things I consider myself being. They are also fast, smart and they eat meat, which is important to me. And they just have this amazingly cool appearance, which is a very nice plus. I am an African Wild Dog and it is awesome.

#338 - sibyllevance - Maine Coon
I'm picking the Maine Coon. As I said in my application, cats are very independent (I like being in the company of other people - I enjoy solitude as much as I enjoy meeting new people and dancing with a group.) and carry an aura of self-confidence I carry too, I do my own stuff. I feel very close to cats in that way.
They are mostly active in the morning and in the evening, which is exactly how I am, too. The popular opinion according to which "falling cats always land on their feet" describes me so well - so far, in stressful situations, I've always managed to work hard to land on my feet.
I'm particularly proud of the species I was given. I don't know if the voter had any idea just how perfect this fit is. The Maine Coon seems to me to be more interesting than most other species of cats (Wiki describes it as having "a distinctive physical appearance", and I agree), for one. Let's start with the funny things - its popularity used to be threatened but recently "the Maine Coon made a comeback and is one of the most popular cat breeds in the world". I love that idea. When I was young, I wasn't very popular but I am today very proud of being, if not popular, at least respected and with more friends than I ever had. The Maine's tail is quite distinctive and long - "the Maine Coon's pride and joy is his tail. In fact he is often referred to as 'the tail with the cat on the end'." I'm very into sexual innuendo and I find this hilarious and spot-on, even if I'm female.
The Maine Coon's ancestral origins are eerily connected to my own life. Let's start with the obvious - I'm a Ravenclaw and this cat is believed to be connected to the Vikings because of its resemblance to the Norwegian Forest Cat which traveled with Vikings. It honestly couldn't be more perfect, except I found another legend that has the Maine Coon being the descendant of Marie Antoinette's Turkish Angora cats. I'm French and I thought this connection was particularly fitting.
It is also believed the Maine Coon is the product of the mating of feral cats and posh long-haired cats and the mixture of the two encompasses me really well.
The Maine Coon isn't a lap cat, it possesses above-average intelligence and isn't clingy but is very playful yet dignified, which describes me really accurately. They have a quiet but extrovert personality which I also have - I'm a thinker but I'm very loud and opinionated.
Just one last word to show you how perfect this is - I'm a huge seafood lover and I've always wanted to live near the Atlantic Ocean. I used to want to live in Brittany but now that I've read extensively about Maine, I think it might just beat Brittany! It's known for its lobster (my favourite food along with ice cream), it has a high percentage of French Americans and honestly, how can you not fall for the randomness of this: "Maine is the number one exporter of blueberries and toothpicks". That is so me, too - love of food and yet dignity to the very end. In short, I love being the emblem of this state.
I don't know if the voter had any idea just how fast I would warm up to my animagus form. I'm a Maine Coon and as proud as can be. Meow!

#339 - ledbylove - Siamese Cat
Upon presentation of my choices, I knew instantly that the form I would connect to most was that of the Siamese Cat. I have always felt a strong affinity for cats. My household was full of them growing up and I can't imagine not having a feline in my life. More specifically, the Siamese breeds have always been my favorite. I have kept cats of multiple breeds as pets, but there is something about the Siamese breed that I have always been particularly drawn to.
This part of one of my votes struck me as particularly fitting - They are often quite friendly and like to be around people, though they do not easily adapt to the changes of environment or to strangers. This absolutely fits my own temperament. I am generally friendly and I like being around people, but I am not extremely quick to adapt to a change and I am slower to open up to strangers.
One other aspect of the Siamese cat's personality is that they have a tendency to bond with one person more than any other. This is something that holds true for me, as well. I have the tendency to be friendly with many people, forming many casual friendships, but I tend to have only a small handful of close friends.
Cats in general tend to avoid water except for the case of mine, who likes to play in the sink and they love to bask in the sunlight. This is a trait that fits me as well. I love to sit out/lie out in the sun and just be lazy and I am also the queen of napping. Naps are seriously awesome. I love them.
I short, I have always felt more connected with felines, particularly the Siamese breed, and I think the Siamese cat is the perfect fit for me as an animagus.

#340 - slashfiend337 - Sphynx
I've never felt a connection to any animal quite the way I do the Sphynx. Rare and gorgeous, but often misrepresented, these hairless cats are my personal favorites. I encountered my first knowledge of the Sphynx in a Baby Sitter's Club book at the age of 9. Dawn's friend's mom had a hairless cat named Tallahassee. I decided to look them up that day and fell in love.
I've always planned to own Sphynxes in my lifetime, as I find them enchanting. I believe I share certain characteristics with the Sphynx, as I do with all cats, and some that are specific to the Sphynx in general.
Like all cats, the Sphynx is ideally nocturnal. Cats CAN function during the day, but when left to their own devices and free of human interference, will be most active at night. Similarly, if left to MY own devices and free of work, school, friends, and societal expectations, I would sleep all day and stay awake all night. Cats, of course, have a serious dislike of birds, and interestingly enough, so do I.
I chose the calico variety of Sphynx as my color because I often dye my hair, so my real coloring is never quite the same. I thought that having multicolored spots would be the wisest choice, since I currently have brown, red, orange, and black in my hair.
Cats are equally at home in social settings and in solitude. Cats in the wild form small bands of cooperating cats, usually female, and they work together for the good of the pack, with one in the alpha role. My own social circle is very much like this, with myself and a few others in almost constant contact at all times. I'm not the "alpha" cat in my circle, and I'm quite fine with that.
As far as Sphynx-specific traits, due to the sensitive nature of their skin, Sphynx are very susceptible to cold and must be in a temperate climate. Some sphynx owners even go as far as to put sweaters on their cats. I'm averse to the cold, to the point that as I write this, in my sixty-degree room, I'm covered in a blanket.
The biggest selling point for me was that Sphynx are hairless. I've long been a fan of the hairless animal, partially because they're so different from other animals. I own a hairless rat at the moment, and there's no way my affinity for hairless animals will stop there. I'm not hairless myself, of course. As a child I was never quite like the other kids, and I feel like Sphynx are the "weird kids" of the cat family.
Sphynx are a rare type of cat, and I, much like the breed, am a rare type of person. I cannot imagine a better fit for my animagus form than the noble, beautiful, regal sphynx cat.
