That's cool about turtles. I've like them also because my sign is the crab. Y'know - soft inside with a hard exterior. I wonder if anyone has a sea creature as an animagus. Octopus might be cool. If it was a mythical creature, then why not go for the big one - a dragon. I think peter liked the rat because it was small and unobtrusive and good at escape. Flight is a good thing for an animagus. I would want to be an owl except I like the idea of having a tail too much. Fenrir, however bound, must stay with the wolf.
