I need help to pick an animal spirit, I am role playing a nord warrior( I know very original) who practices animism, the belief that animals contain spirits. I am trying to think of one that isn't incredibly rare or super common(wolf) because the animal will be sacred and therefore untouchable. Fell free to share any ideas or comments.

Sabercat?

Wait nevermind, they are pretty common and agressive.

Something like birds, maybe.

snowy sabercats are kind of rare so they might work. Thanks for the idea.

I would choose the snow bear, they're strong and they're from the north like the nords.

yea that could work and I've only seen snow bears up north(near windhelm and above) good idea I guess I have my role play set up now, thanks.

I was going to stay the Stag, which is a potent symbol of virility. I would imagine that to go hand in hand with a Nord warrior.

Wily as a fox...born in the North...Snow fox. Whenever they cross your path, consider it a blessing from Talos.
