Figured I'd start my own thread, instead of necromizing an old thread. I'm pretty sure I've said this before, but it's a nice thing to talk about. Given we have zoos, and if you have enough money, I could get whatever animals I want. It would probably be a sizeable list, but I'd be real hesitant to morph anything really small. Not gonna be wild about morphing a fly, or flea, or anything that the bare bottom of the food chain.
But, to narrow it down, and choose some local morphs, I would go for anything in my state: Alabama. Looking up big animals, I've found that my state does have black bears, and cougars. Not really as good as a grizzly bear, or a tiger, but definitely big enough to cause harm. So they'd be good battle morphs. I'd kind of like to grab an alligator too.
For bird morphs, definitely getting a goose/duck, and an owl. I don't even have to go far for those. Maybe a hawk if I just want to fly around an area during the day, without people thinking it's too weird. We have eagles, but I think people will be more likely to point and gawk at an eagle than a hawk.
I would likely get a deer or wolf if I wanted to travel through the woods. A deer would attract less attention, except from hunters. Nobody wants to see a wolf coming out of the woods, through their back yard. Of course in an urban setting, a domestic dog or cat is a good choice. It's so easy to get those animals, there's no reason not to have them. Might get a horse for the same reason.
If I get something aquatic, it's likely to be the biggest fish I can find. Probably the same idea if I needed to be a bug. I guess I'd be afraid of going too small, for fear of being eaten. The bigger you are, the less likely it is to happen. any other morph I get is probably going to be for a specific mission.
Oh, and I would be grabbing some Human dna too. Just take samples from several Humans, and mix it up. I wouldn't be nearly as squeamish about that as Cassie was in the books.
