I have this feeling my dæmon would be a goat. Standing still all day, pondering the mysteries of the universe while chewing thoughtfully on a straw.

However, I'd want it to be a wolf or a hawk. Or perhaps some kind of cat-animal.

Don't goats eat everything in sight? Mebbe his goat could eat everything to Death?

It could be a black goat, with a scyth.

Just laugh, your joke gave me an idea! His name will be: Goat of Almost Inevitable Death!

What kind of animal could you see as Death's Dæmon then? (Just to make it clear: I'm not fond enough of rats to have one as dæmon; although I know you are ).

I think it should have red eyes too, and halitosis. (So it can..breathe people to death? )

Why Almost?

Death should have a snake.

Between its cloves, of course. Duh. Red eyes and halitosis is a good idea.

Because only two things are certain: Death and taxes. She is not Death, she is a goat (although a very Death-ish goat).

Nah, snakes are too...sneaky. Death is not necessary dangerous (depends on what you've believed in life), and thus Death's dæmon should not necessary look dangerous.

But when it's supposed to be scary, what can be more scary than a goat? Imagine a red-eyed goat standing in the middle of a meadow...staring at you with those big round eyes...watching...waiting...as if to say "I am waiting"...

Oh, understood.
It's a SHE-goat? Death-ish SHE-goat?
Hehe, I want that as my new title!

Oh, agreed! *Glances over shoulder* I could've sworn I just saw a goat's shadow behind me just then....
*Horror music plays in background*

It has to be a she-goat. I'm a male, and not one of those who have a male dæmon.

How about a raven then? Ravens are often linked with death in certain mythologies.

A raven with a scythe and halitosis doesn't work.

What was your Dæmon, Eärniel? A frog?

A raven would be interesting...but as Lin said, it wouldn't be able to carry a scyth. But I like the idea...will have to think some more on this.

I haven't posted any possibly dæmon for me yet, I think. I know which animals I would like as my dæmon, but according to the book, the animal has to fit your personality. That makes it a little more difficult. So far I was leaning towards a little goldenhaired lionhead monkey. But a frog..... you know, you may be on to something here.... Still, there are many kinds of frogs possible.

Who says the animal has to hold a scythe? Dæmons don't have to carry atributes. A raven is its very own connection with death. Ask the MorrÃ*gan. Forget the little black cape, its plumage is more sinister than a little piece of fabric.

And as for the halitosis, I can't say I've been close enough to a raven (they're nigh extinct in Europe) to smell that, but given the things it eats, I doubt that's far off the mark.

May I suggest a choclate-coated one?

Alright then...but it got to have red eyes.

Then you and your dæmon would never be parted.

True...It could look like the raven in Poe's The Raven. Burning, fiery eyes (blue flame then).

But I still like the thought of a goat with a scyth. Very original.

Yeah, but it would also be very dead. And myself aswell then.

I like that. You could call it 'Nevermore'.
