As much as I've always envied Tobias' constant ability to fly, I would never want to be trapped as a bird.
Being trapped as a wolf would be kind of cool, I guess. Higher up on the food chain. But unlike Tobias, it would be awfully hard for me to eat meat, as I'm a stubborn vegetarian. So I suppose some kind of herbivore, like a giant panda. Or for battle purposes, maybe a buck. Those antlers could probably do some damage, as could a panda.
