Discussion If you were given the option to permanently transform into a creature of your choice, would you do it?

[Okami]

Just curious about people's answers. Would you enjoy life more if you were something else? What would you transform into?

The creature can be whatever you'd like, whether it's something currently alive, extinct, or fictional.

To clarify, if you make the choice to go through with it, you wouldn't be able to transform back under any circumstances. You also wouldn't be able to speak (unless you turn into something that can, like a parrot). However, you'd still have the intelligence of a human.

To answer my own question, I'd take the opportunity without any hesitation. It may seem childish, but I'd choose to turn into a dragon and never look back.

I'm calling dragon here. You'll all have to make do with something else

Go on, who's going to be the unicorn? You know you want to...

Actually, I'd be a dog, as long as it's a well cared for family pet.

Edit, apologies, I wrote dragon and failed to see you called it already. Oh crap I'm a unicorn. Why do I always have to be a unicorn?

 

[so it goes]

My favourite animals are Orangutans so I'd choose to be one. Combined with still having the intelligence of a human, we're going planet of the apes, baby.

A unicorn's not too bad...

I'll cheat and say a shapeshifter

Oh that really is sneaky.

 

[AutoTap]

I’d stay human because animals can still be depressed and anxious. So id still be depressed and anxious I just wouldn’t be able to ctb as easy.

unless I turned into something that bad a short life span then maybe that idk

 

[waterstrider]

Some sort of Cyborg would be cool - like the ones in Terminator

 

[KleinerWolf]

Hot vampire? You can come visit me any time :)

Also, I’ll go with becoming a kitsune.

 

[Life sucks]

I don't want to transform. Maybe in a fictional world I'll be something else but not this world.

Mother Talzin for like 20 years or so


Just damn.
Apologies for the jar jar. =/

 

[xLosthopex]

I think I’d like to be a deep-sea sea creature because I’d love to be able to explore those parts of the ocean

 

[RedRed]

Everyone here being creative with hot vampires, intelligent orangutans, dragons, shape shifter (very clever btw), unicorns and stuff yet here I am just thinking of being a hecking bird...just a normal bird. Why didn't I think of anything amazing my god...I have no creativity at all and I'm a part time animator. Wtf *sobs

I just adore this creative community <3

Leviathan from hell.

 

[MindFog]

I mean i kinda want to be a witch. But that doesnt really... change much?

 

[ClairyFairy]

I would become the national animal of Scotland

Why on earth would you want to become a haggis?

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

Oh man, can’t believe I voted here a while ago but never said why.

I said I was unsure because I’m unsure of which animal guarantees complete happiness. Maybe I’d pick a cat because I’m lazy like that. Or maybe a bug so I’d have a much shorter life.

Sounds awesome!
That makes us two!

 

[stygal]

A.I. for sure.
Being able to just exist in the realm of the internet with endless knowledge and without the restriction of a human or any biological body sounds awesome.

 

[DocNo]

a bodyless life-form which exist purely as energy is on my mind since my teenage years.

the crazy thing is. for some time i even think that sooner or later i would also get suicidal in this shape of existence.
existence in itself gets for me a more and more a meaningless state.

today at a walk in the woods i thought existence without purpose is just a waste of time and energy.
but i also think for what to have a purpose cause existence itself is meaningless. so welcome to my mental feedback loop of terror.

 

[ClairyFairy]

It's a unicorn

 

[Mentalmick]

It's a unicorn

I'm from Scotland and I've never seen any unicorns. Seen plenty of haggisses running about. I wished they'd keep out of my bins. Bastards

 

[EWFTW11]

Either a sentient A.I. (if anything isn't off limits) or probably a humanoid Pokemon with hands.

A Gardevoir or a Lucario sounds nice if I can't become an A.I. that can interact with people and play videogames (maybe even start a Youtube channel)

 

[Callie Arcale]

I’d gladly turn into a mayfly. They only live for 24 hours.

Imagine that... 24 hours and then peace.

 

[FuneralCry]

I would probably choose a cat, my cat has a great life consisting of mostly sleeping. I would choose that over a human certainly.

 

[LONE WOLF.]

I'd be a Werewolf so l could on each full moon cause as much chaos carnage destruction and death as possible!!!

A Werewolf, huh... sounds like a nice plan.

 

[western_heart]

I would love to be an indoor/outdoor cat. Able to roam the world (which for me would maybe be a 3 block radius) with a loving home to come back to.

It'd save me the need to CTB. Assuming I became an adult cat, my natural life would end around the same time as my parents, and I want to stick around as long as they are alive.
