Five Animal Companions | #TopTenTuesday 286

You know I could have sworn I did a post about animal companions one or two years ago but for some reason I can’t find it when I search. Which is interesting. I think at the time I did it as a topic for top ten tuesday during Wyrd and Wonder.

In any case I’ll be doing it agian for todays topic of animals in books from Top Ten Tuesday (as always hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl).

Falada from Thorn by Intisar Khanani
A loving, but a little obnoxious talking horse that stands by Alyra in their own way.

Tannevar from Between Starfalls from S. Kaeth
Tannevar is the wolf companion of our main character in this book. Through mind powers she can bond with him which makes them stronger.

Wyverns from Guards!Guards! by Terry Pratchett
There is a certain lady in Guards! Guards! who breeds wyvern, a type of dragon. And these wyvern are simply the cutest, the quirkest and the weirdest little things.

Nine from Spellcaster Academy by Jennetta Penner
Nine is a talking cat and familiar to our main character. He has ties to the history that she knows nothing about (and isn’t sharing), but is fiercely loyal.

Gryphons from the Narroway Hunt by Rhiannon Williams
During their training you can learn to become a flier with which you get a gryphon to train on. It is always interesting to see which one you get. They are stubborn creatures but all have their own personalities. And once you gain their trust they are the best kind of companion to have.

What is your favorite kind of animal companion?
