Mostly bored and curious to see what others would say, but I chose the North American beaver as the species for my main because I really like beavers and because of The Angry Beavers cartoon.
That was a pretty sweet show. The Christmas episode really spoke to me as a kid.
I cannot say I remember the Christmas episode. I’ll definitely have to look that one up. But the Halloween episode definitely spoke to me because of how chaotic it is.
I had a dream about hyenas.
I know that sounds pretty lame. I’m not really sure what caused it, I don’t have furry-related dreams. Hell, my dreams are usually pretty boring. But this one was about hyenas for some reason. The next day I was idly doodling in a notebook instead of studying and I was thinking about the hyena dream and I drew this very rough drawing of a little hyena guy.
A few weeks later I was introduced to Second Life and I knew pretty quickly I didn’t want my avatar to be a human (this is back when you could only start as a human, I think nowadays you can immediately start with a furry avatar) so I went to a store in game with a bunch of free furry avatars of different species. I saw there was a hyena one and picked that.
Fifteen years later, here we are and my main character is still a hyena.
im quite goatly
I picked a sloth because they’re cool and chill. They’re never in a hurry from a human POV and I want to be like that.
I picked a dragon because I like dragons
