Category:Animal Spirits

Animal Spirits are terrestrial creatures endowed with higher intelligence and other mystical attributes.

Trivia

 * While their name may suggest the contrary, animal spirits are not actually spirits. The word "spirit" is used to denote their magical status and superior intelligence and distinguish them from other members of their species.
 * Many human myths and legends often described animal spirits as either being possessed by a spiritual entity or spirits that take animal form; this was likely to account for their supernatural abilities and sentience.
 * The difference between animal spirits and magical animals (e.g. unicorns and griffins) is that magical animals come from an inherently magical race whereas animal spirits belong to an otherwise mundane race but develop powers that are not typically common to their kind.
