1. Phoenix. This fiery fowl can become a family heirloom to be passed from generation to generation. Why buy multiple fish when you can get a single bird?
2. Al'mi'raj. The perfect rabbit for over-protective fathers with teenage daughters. Simply release the al'mi'raj on any guys who come calling.
3. Sphinx. These feline creatures can help your child their homework, if you can pull them away from their riddles that is.
4. Hippocampus. Enjoy a vacation to the beach with this aquatic creature and ride the ocean's waves.
5. Cockatrice. Discourage the neighborhood children from raiding your garden with this frightful beast. Just be sure to have a antidote for petrification handy.
6. Golem. What tasks will you assign the family golem?
7. Pegasus. With a winged horse, your child will not have to wait for the bus to go to school.
8. Chimera. Unable to decide on a pet? A chimera allows you the best of three different creatures!
9. Dragon. Temperamental beasts, they are not recommended for everyone. But to those who can earn their respect, a dragon becomes a loyal companion.
10. Sylph. A excellent pet for pranksters, the invisible sylph is capable of performing many mischievous tricks.
Were sphinxes supposed to be knowledgeable? I thought they were just mean-spirited.
ReplyDeleteGreek sphinxes were malevolent, but Egyptian sphinxes were viewed as benevolent. The Greek sphinx is known for telling riddles, while the Egyptian sphinx were guardians of tombs and temples.
DeleteI've based the sphinx of today's post off of the Greek sphinx, with some elements of the Egyptian sphinx added. I imagine it as a surly tutor bound to the family due to having lost a contest of wits sometime in the past.
YES! A phoenix! I would definitely want one..then name it Wright or something in honor of Phoenix Wright. :P Or maybe Pyro.
ReplyDeleteHowever if I could pick one magic creature for a pet...in the WORLD...I would probably pick a Thunderbird, Phoenix or Brownie. Just because:
Thunderbirds are loyal and so are phoenixes. Plus you could do things like call up storms.
Brownie--think about it. Your own Arrietty is too good to pass up.
