Wolf – You are known for your modesty. Your daemon, therefore, is a wolf. Proud and dependable, your daemon will guide you through any troubles you may face, but keep in mind that neither of you is especially outgoing or assertive.
Ermine – You are solitary and a bit fickle. Your daemon, therefore, is an ermine. This saucy stoat is not shy about helping you succeed in your endeavors, but, like you, is fiercely competitive and not entirely dependable.
Sparrow– You are easygoing and relaxed. Your daemon, therefore, is a sparrow. Breezing through life, your daemon can be fairly flexible and friendly if it is required to help you, but like you, prefers to let someone else take the lead.
Gibbon – You are quite spontaneous and sociable! Your daemon, therefore, is a gibbon. This friendly, gentle ape will help you in your travels, but since neither of you are known for being responsible, you may want to be careful.
Snow Leopard – You are a humble and dependable person. Your daemon, therefore, is a snow leopard. Soft-spoken but assertive, this big cat will assist you as needed, but like you, will not take charge unless it is absolutely necessary. – Jeremy None
