We-ell, if it is a penguin like Human Pie's rice-fed ones, then the dementors will most likely have nightmares afterwards.
I was thinking more along the lines of her Flying, Deaf SuperPenguin. The one who replaced the eagles in TLA. Not that the likelyhood of dementors having nightmares decreases any...

Oh yes, like the vengeful one that was constantly following Zandalf. Aaah.. good memories. But yes, that would be a reasonable defensive patronus too.

My petronous would have to be the most feared animal on the planet... the poison footed, mamal fur having, egg laying, duck billed Platypus!!! Serious the platypus is proof of gods sense of humor... that little freaky animal has no place in the world... its a mamal, but it lays eggs and has a duck bill... is it a bird? Or a mamal? Or a reptile? The enigmatic nature of the feared platypus would confuse any enemy enough to use its mighty poisonous back feet!

I heard of the liger. I think I saw a program on Nova or Discovery featuring this gi-NORmous liger, I mean HUGE. That liger was huge.

That liger in the picture looks definitely overfed but not larger than it should be, IMO. Yet I doubt it would have enough space to stow another dementor in there.

Dunno, The picture is misleading. Even my puddy-tad looks twice his size too when he stretches. Cats are suprisingly stretchable.

But judging by the height of the hips, the liger's size still seems reasonable compared to normal tigers. Taken in account of course that being bred in captivity (good, regular meals, less exercise and no risk for injury during hunting) would probably mean bigger individuals than their wilder counterparts.

Still, would make a strong patronus... If he doesn't eat you as easily as the dementors.

Can patroni eat? And is it Patronuses or Patroni for the plural?

Actually I read in National Geographic Kids that Ligers never stop growing. I can try to find the article.

Actually, Earniel, they are lacking the growth inhibitor gene - they have growth dysplasia - wiki article - so they would be way way bigger than the tiger.

hehehe, the first guy from the right, the one that's "bottle feeding" the liger looks like Nicolas Cage

and to answer lady marion magdalena, since Rowling uses "latin" words, it would be more assumable (imho) that the answer to your question is Patroni.

and no, Patroni can't eat, they're just "ghost-like" forms that CHARGE after Dementors, they don't really attack 'em physicly, the dementors just run away(even though one dementor got swooped up by the harry's stag's horns)

Interesting article. Trust cats to mess up their genetics.

*wonders which tigers she has been seeing then that she still think ligers are not all that much bigger*
