Dhole (cuon alpinus). Wild canid in south/east Asia. Pack hunters that communicate with whistles and chirps. Barcode scanner dogs.

I'm thinking a goose, or a swan. Something where I get to fly but can also hang out on the water and just float.

Let's not forget Zeus turned into a Swan to have sex with the Queen of the Spartans. So that'd also be on the table.

Turkey Vulture probably

I watched a few videos about mink (minks?) a little while back, and they seem pretty neat. Semi-aquatic, tough as nails, and slippery little guys.

Black bear. I could explore the woods around my house with my new bad ass senses. I'd be the toughest dude in the hood, no other animals could fuck with me. It's illegal for humans to shoot me and we all love our bears anyway. I could finally figure out where the deer sleep and track down the coyotes I've never got close too. Plenty of fish in the creek and the swamp it comes from and plenty of trash cans in the hood. I'd chill out on people's car hoods and porches just to freak 'em out. What a lovely life.

BONUS: If I see the redneck hunter out there that hates me, I'd follow him at a distance every time he sets foot out there. 😈🖤

What about a tortoise? Don't they live longer?

Look, in fucking July, my species was renamed the fucking paradoxical sea Muppet (Australyichthys paradoxus), and I’m kind of fucking sore about it.

Fucking Muppet! I’m a fucking seahorse. Fucking look at me you fucking imbeciles. Human fucks! Always fucking with you, fucking shit up, fucking up naming shit, fucking up the sea, ffs they’re the fucking muppets

So, “seahorse” is my answer, thx

Most useless power is being able to perfectly know the time 🕰️

Some kind of big cat like a jaguar or tiger sounds cool. Agile, fast, and strong; but also cute, fluffy, and can cuddle in a warm sunny spot. Might be hard to be a vegetarian, though. Maybe I only eat in human form or something? Brb making a new Pathfinder character.

Golden Eagle. I could carry groceries.

has existed

fuck yeah i'ma turn into a thylacine

i'd get so many scritches

jumbo crow

how about a writing desk

and you gotta watch out for moose

Yeah, but how gruesome were the fly morphs. Even Cassie couldn't make that look good lol.

Eh, it was kinda necessary with the 2-hour time limit. You can imagine how many Andalite scientists were trapped in random morphs before they added that.

Oh, now I vaguely remember seeing him before. Never actually watched an episode, though.

Yikes, imagine having to learn to fly. Sounds rough. I'd be a different human that I would call Rex so I could go to the store without worrying about anyone recognizing me. I'd just rather not have to worry about seeing anyone I know when I'm not in the mood.

Whale Shark.

Orca eat moose, polar bears, and almost everything else, don't gotta watch out for shit. Except humans. Orca don't eat humans.

A worm

I need to check if he's telling the truth

You can sell power. I can't be arsed to figure out how much money he'd make, but it might be a good living.

Doesn't mean the question isn't speciest. Sounds like they are the type of person that says shit like "animals don't have souls and can't feel."

is that a real thing?!

so the idea is no real gotchas. you would have whatever natural instincts and aptitudes needed to function like the animal without it overwelming your judgement.

Nothing deep sea, I don't want to deal with other creatures in an environment I can't transform back.

Nothing flying, heights would scare me.

I am between an elephant and a racoon. Probably a racoon.

you know that is a good point. I mean flyer you might be able to transorm briefly and back and crushing depths is definately a no go. Your comment makes me more go to flyer to think about something ground based like orangatang which I kinda am feeling from a guys gorilla choice.

a brain eating ameba if I can choose a host.

otherwise, a Giganotosaurus. go big or go home, right?

Animals dont have souls. Souls are made up.

Cat.

Something with an incredibly short life span preferably

first thought is fruit fly but no gotchas so when you turn back you won't be incredibly old or anything. the transformation will not help you stay young or get old fast as a human but I guess if you stayed in fly form to long. that could be bad.

Don't spout your religious views as facts.

Brontosaurus or maybe a giant manta ray

thing about huge dinos is its going to make it hard to keep the ability on the down low.

I think staying in fly from sounds exactly like what I'm looking for. I guess I missed the whole turning back into a human part. As long as there's not some bullshit reincarnation clause or something.

Orson Welles. I want to turn into 1970’s Orson Welles.

That true, but you would be able to reach the tastiest leafs from the tops of the trees

Turn into a cat and go sit on my girlfriends lap.

Migratory bird of some sort. I'd go with a species that dies migrating the least often.

you know someone said the artic tern and I had considered it but the albatross seemed more efficient but I see the albatross is not as good over land. I just found out sea birds have a gland that let them drink salt water to. So im leaning toward the artic tern now.
