What would your daemon be?

Postby Paint the Sky » Thu Jan 03, 2008 12:34 pm

Hey everyone, I recieved His Dark Materials trilogy for xmas, and have started reading Northern Lights, the first book. As some of you know this has been made into the movie The Golden Compass.

Anyhoo, according to the story, when younger you're daemon can change form into any kind of animal, but when you become older, the daemon settles on one form, and no longer changes.

So, what would your daemon be?, and why?

Ok, seeing as I'm doing the asking, i'll start.

Mine would be an emperor penguin, because they manage to survive the most inhospitable conditions enduring the worst that nature throws at them. Also, in one environment they are slow,clumsy and ungainly, but in the other they are graceful, sleek, and completely comfortable.

Mine would be a Basset Hound because we share the same philosophy.

I have not seen the movie nor read the books, but I think I know what you're talking about. I strongly suspect I am, in actuality, Mrs. Gorn's daemon; that probably disqualifies me from having one of my own.

well the 'daemon' comes actually from the philosophical concept of conscience, it was a 'dàimon', a inner demon who guided you through life.
that being said {such an useless coment} my dàimon would be a black wolf, because it's lone, strong and never complains, just goes on
black because they're the strongest

I also got the trilogy for Christmas as well as seeing the movie just before Christmas. I don't know what mine actually would be but I would hope it would be a big cat, preferably a Tiger because I love them so much. They're quiet but strong and sexy and powerful and beautiful.

I think I'd be some kind of dog. I'm loyal, I'll do anything for anyone and I'd do my upmost to make someone smile, comfort them if they need it and protect them with all that I am.

But on the down side, I don't cope well without people around me.
Be safe. Be happy. XxXxXx

Wishing Peace, light and love to everyone.

I would be a Lion because I am so loyal and protective. No matter how big the enemy I will fight it if need be.

Crow. Enjoys dumpster diving, digs flying overhead and expressing opinions, thinks graveyards, winter landscapes, and agricultural fields are fun to hang out in.

No, wait. I changed my mind. I think mine would actually be a recently decapitated chicken.

Excuse me, I need to go frenetically run around, bumping into walls.
