Daemons are, in essence, a person's soul in an animal's body. This animal is of the opposite sex (in almost all cases) and its shape is representative of their human's personality, both obvious and repressed traits. Young children, before reaching adulthood, have daemons who change into other animals at will because their

Aurican | Dragonlance

[returnsmagic]

Aurican's daemon Oriana is a tiny hummingbird, fluttering around and around his massive golden head. Her feathers are a strange shimmer of metallic colors: copper and brass, silver and gold and bronze. She speaks waspishly and fiercely, and she is emotional and quick to action.

[leading3men]

Zoey's daemon, Vito, is a coyote with the fur of light brown and red, with patches of gray. He is gruff, but also has a sense of humor, and is kind and rather casual. His sharp wit is stinging, and his tenacity enduring.

Miles Edgeworth | Ace Attorney

[mentis_reae]

Edgeworth's daemon Lucia is a small, sleek beagle with clear eyes and an alert manner. She's deeply curious and, though somewhat cautious, quick to investigate and explore as soon as she's comfortable in her surroundings. She's kind, protective, and - though serious in demeanor - easily betrayed by her wagging tail.

[Guess whose daemon enjoys messing a bit with yours, Edgeworth? Adriana ye black panther is as much of a tease as her person, and she comes what's likely a little too close for comfort to plant her big platter-paw right on Lucia's back. Gently. No claws. Not even a prickle! But.]

[mentis_reae]

[And Lucia is a sturdy thing, but she's also quite small. That paw covers most of her back. Lucia is slightly more patient than her partner, and so she doesn't immediately twist and snarl at that pressure, but she does try to wiggle out.

Edgeworth, on the other hand, is glaring at Tyki.]

Call your cat off.

[phaseshifts]

[Tyki seems as sedate as Adriana, at least right now. Both of them are predators, capable of bursts and storms of violence.

Adriana crouches to swipe her tongue over Lucia's head.]

Hmm? She's not hurting her.

Re-l Mayer | Ergo Proxy

[proxysearch]

Re-l's daemon is a puma, very sleek and very...very large. Large enough for him to be downright embarrassing when she walks around because everyone's afraid of the lumbering animal following at her side.

[mentis_reae]

[Edgeworth is deep in thought as he comes walking down the street, his similarly pensive daemon trotting at his heels. He doesn't see her at first.]

[proxysearch]

[She does, though, pausing. The cat at her side perks his head up, ears turning back. She eyes the dog at his heels.]

Cute.

[mentis_reae]

[He hears that word and coughs, his head jerking up, frowning uncomfortably.]

I beg your pardon?

[Lucia's tail, though, wags tentatively.]

Shikamaru Nara | Naruto

[underachieves]

Shikamaru's daemon, Sei, is a petite sika doe. She is a slender thing, fragile in appearance, and stands no taller than three feet. Her fur is more silver than brown, her eyes wide and black and alert. She rarely speaks, but when she does, her voice is low and smooth.

[mentis_reae]

[Edgeworth walks into the room a bit brusquely, but the daemon trotting at his heels looks friendly enough. He regards the young man with the deer daemon for just a moment before sitting down behind his desk.]

You are...Nara Shikamaru?

[underachieves]

Yeah.

[Sei's ears twitch but Shikamaru remains still, hands in his pockets. He doesn't sit because he hasn't been invited to.]

[mentis_reae]

[He nods thoughtfully, looking down at the file before him.]

Please, tell me what it was that you witnessed.
