Any of the 11 real animals, 12 (komodo dragon) of the Chinese year animals.

But really... wouldn't the "animal" be dependent upon the region?

Example, Aztec's had no idea what a horse was until the Spanish arrived. From that a horse would not have been on the list, but it could be on the 'list' any way.

So just what sort of region/environment are you thinking as I have a feeling you'd like it to make logical sense.

well yes and no....some may be actual wild animals in the wild and some may be.....more....

as for the fox idea, i actually added that one just a few minutes ago before reading this, lol, so good idea, jagua isn't a bad idea, but i decided to overlook most of the other large cats, since i already have a tiger lion and panther, and technically, a jaguar is a type of panther anyway... but again, good suggestion, thanks

Keep em coming guys

I also added

chameleon: regenrative abilities, stealthy,climbing,protective camoflage
Mouse-small,though timid,fast,smart,learns from actions

Thought I would mention that you should add "fast" or "speed" to bear since a Grizzly can run at speeds up to 25 mph. That's pretty fast for an animal that stands 8' tall and weighs up to 850 pounds (Grizzly). In fact, it is a good bit faster than the fastest human.

Their weakness? Hibernation...

T-Rex. It can eat you in one bite... assuming you fall into a properly calibrated time machine

modified it a little bit, still dont consider that fast compared to a tiger/cheetah squirrel, almost every animal i labeled as fast can move over 40mph when really going, distance equivilant to size that is. But they are good runners, so i modified it a bit and added "hibernation"

not going into dinosaurs hehe, or insects, prefer mammals/birds
as for snakes <spoiler alert> snakes will be able to choose their type, keeping the overall generic.

I have considered getting my work copyrighted so far, all my outlines etc so i am protected, then i just might put the first few chapters on my space for peeps to see... i'll keep yas updated, and as always, thanks for suggestions
