Choosing an Animal

Parent page Awakened Animal

The best forms to choose for the awakened animal ancestry have limbs of some sort that can be modified. Even fins can be modified in awakened form. Limbless creatures like snakes might need extra accommodations to work. When talking with your GM about playing an awakened animal, talk about the specific type of animal so you can determine what’s a reasonable choice for the tone of the game.

Many animals have giant-sized versions of themselves in the game, and you can take advantage of that fact to make an animal of any size that you prefer—you can have awakened giant dogs or awakened giant bees if you want! While obvious choices are avians, mammals, and reptiles, the ancestry is built to be versatile enough to represent many kinds of insects and aquatic animals as well.
