Flight Rising Discussion

@pixelspiral
Maybe a lizard? Or a fire bird, since her early concept art resembled that?

Oooor, thinking a bit more abstractly: a lion? Her fire looks a bit like a mane?

Light got the rabbit because lightweaver has rabbit ears.

Lightning got mantis because Stormcatcher's front legs.

So my guess for other flights bases on the appearance of deities.

Earth: Goat (the beard and meme)
Water: Bull/Buffalo (the horns)
Fire: Kangaroo or jumping mouse (Flamecaller looks like mainly standing on back legs)
Wind: Snake
Ice: Heavy horse or owl (Icewarden's fluffy feet)
Arcane: Bat or some kind of bug, butterfly maybe?
Nature: Deer
Plague: Porcupine
Shadow: Uhh, drooling dog?

I get the feeling that staffs will go with unpopular animals, so I don't think we will get fancy stuff like tiger or wolf.

^ so it could be....

A water buffalo?

Maybe they are using animals associated with Kung Fu fighting styles.

@Smoothy
Definitely. If they don't do a Plague Rat, I will be seriously annoyed. It just fits so well.

I totally agree it is based on the appearance of the deities! Here are my guesses:

Earth: Horned toad
Water: Lionfish
Fire: Chicken
Wind: Weasel-like creature with long body
Ice: Owl (with dem fluffy feets)
Arcane: Swan
Nature: Peacock (with leaves/flowers for tail feathers?)
Plague: Vulture
Shadow: Slimy Newt/Salamander

psh the next spirit is just a wildclaw

It could be some sort of bat, her wings remind me of bat wings.

Fire: Salamander/Monitor Lizard
Arcane: Pterosaur or Dragonfly
Plague: This or some gnarly spiny sea creature
Earth: Some kind of rock bull terrier OR a goat
Ice: Some kind of quadrupedal yeti or a yak
Shadow: Some kind of deep-sea fish
Wind: Feathery snake
Water: A blue lionfish
Nature: A stag

@Alixe
the chinese zodiac would have worked for the fact that we only needed 11, the 12 was a dragon and could be redundant. But regardless no zodiac *pouts*

I desperately want Shadow to get a fox or a bat.
