If insects count as animals then I gotta say my favourite is Armadillidium Vulgare, the common pillbug.
If insects don't count then my favourite is anything fuzzy, with a preference towards cats and emus.

Mantis shrimp.

>Axolotl.

Oh! No wonder you had so much trouble remembering what the critter's name was. You've always been particularly fond of it's translucent skin and floaty acrobatics and beady eyes.

You've never told anyone that you love axolotls. Mainly because you can't pronounce axolotl, but there are other reasons, too.

You have to admit you do feel a little cheated on the eyes, though. How should you improve them?

Compound insect eyes.

Merge them into one big cyclops eye.

Laser eyes. Lasers improve everything!

>>447125
>>447124
>>447122
Single compound eye that shoots laser beams?

>>447128
This logic is infallible.

Especially if the laser refracts when it hits the compound surface of the eye. Omnidirectional laser spread!

>Compound insect eyes.

You make the eyes compound. Compound eyes are probably really useful, from a depth perception standpoint. You hope the axolotl brain won't have trouble interpolating the images into something coherent.

You also like the way they refract light. A slight turn of the head, and onlookers are treated to an optical fireworks show. It'll be stunning. Probably.

You think you're gonna go a little crazy with the mouth.

Giant mouth with pointy triangular teeth. The mouth starts in the normal place, but runs all the way down the neck and body, such that when fully opened, the Axolotl practically unzips it's body.

Mouth can be opened as little or as much as desired. This means it can limit itself to using just the bit on the front of it's face to pretend to be normal.

 

I have only one answer to this.

Chainsaw mouth. Serrated teeth that vibrate back and forth when regular chewing just doesn't cut it.

Tentacles that open up to reveal hidden chainsaw teeth inside, dragging everything that dare resist slowly and painfully into our gaping maw?

>>447139
I like having an impossibly wide toothy grin, yes.

>>447148
Brilliant. Wait, we were supposed to go over the top with this. Throw in some funnels from the stomach so they can also spray acid.

>>447155
Excellent idea good sir.

This isn't even going to be an axolotl when we're done is it?

No need to stop at one!

She's... unblemished. The pinnacle of what every axolotl wishes they could be.

Well, you assume it's a lady axolotl cause of the seductive eyes and prying tongues.

Your name. What is it, mistress of the lake?

Llotha

...I can't wait to see what it looks like when she tries to kiss someone. It will be beautiful.

Draw those teeth-tongues inside now, dear. The whole point of having something like that is the surprise you get to see in people's faces when you use them. (And you'll get to see it from 150 angles or so with your eyes!) We'll restrain ourselves to a toothy grin for now.

Brigid. 'Cus of Wikipedia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boann

Of course she's unblemished. Who would ever go near a monstrosity like that!

You stare down at your latest creation.

Maybe not your best work, but hey, who's judging. Even if someone was, who cares what judges think? Your opinion is always better than theirs, anyway. The last time someone insulted your pictures there were only three or four gallons of tears. You think you handled that pretty well.

Yeah, no pressure here, cause this one's just for fun.

You are Nekomousa, curious and scatterbrained. You hold only a pen and spiral-bound pad and wear nothing. You are waist-deep in a ball pit. All your finest moments of inspiration happen at the ball pit. It's a teenage ball pit for teenagers, even though it doesn't differ much from and can easily be confused with a child's ball pit.

Okay, maybe it is a child's ball pit. Whatever. No time for hair-splitting; you're a busy girl with busy girl things to get done. None of which you can recall.

None to worry, you're positive if they were so important someone'd try a little harder at making you care to remember.

Ahh. Freedom.

Brigid is amazing and wonderful. You should celebrate with a sandwich.

If horns were soft, stretchy, as thin as tissue paper, and allowed you to hear, then you'd have horns so awesome that no demonologist would dare not classify you as a demon. But a visit to the unfriendly demonologist would likely result in him demanding you stop wasting his time with your mouse genes.

God you wish this was your castle. What it actually is is your favorite gaming center. Or at least your favorite gaming center within walking distance, a distance you've been chained to for as long as you can remember.

>Brigid is amazing and wonderful. You should celebrate with a sandwich.

The game center has an eatery but a sandwich costs one coin. You don't have a coin.

In fact, most of the games here take coins. The electronic ones, usually. The ball pit is free. You're not sure if the balls are, though.

You consult the floor plan on the wall to decide where to go next.

>>447858
Super jenga room? Super jenga room.

Unbreakable loop? Sounds like a challenge to me!

>>447862
It's the unreachable loop. There's no path to it.

If you go to the arcade, you might be able to bum some coins off someone.
On the other hand, Super Jenga room looks like something amazing.

How is your walking distance chained? Exertion? Actual chains? An impenetrable force field? Bomb implanted in your head set to go off if not in proximity to the transmitter? Your mom told you not to go too far?

>>447984

Dynamite is the answer!

>>448008

She's a little girl in an arcade! No way she's going to be able to find the supplies to make dynamite in here, and she doesn't have the coin to buy it.

Good long term goal though.

You head east, to the Super Jenga Room, passing through the Hallway of Exalted Super Jenga Players, where professional Super Jengaers are temporarily immortalized.

Your transportation has always consisted of your legs. Your only friend within walking distance doesn't have anything but hers, either.

You arrive at the Super Jenga Room. To your left lies the warning sign "WARNING: HARD HAT REQUIRED FOR SUPER JENGA PLAY AREA". In front of you is a deep pit, which houses stacks of jenga blocks several stories high. The ceiling is twisted with mechanical struts, cords, and beams; this is the system that resets the towers and provides spiral scaffolding to the players.

You witness an in-progress loss as a couple thousand jenga blocks slowly hurl towards the floor. Moments later the soft roar of tiny planks hitting the ground fills the room. The sound makes your fur excitedly stand on end.

You don a hard hat and step down the ladder into the play area. The curses of someone in the fallen tower's scaffolding rain down behind the now-scattered blocks.

You peer up and remember why the coin it costs to reset the tower and set scaffolding isn't the only reason you don't play this game.

Take a careful look at all the dozen jenga towers in one shot, each with an elegant spiral staircase around them in magnificent detail.

You sure seemed to like the sound they make when a jenga tower falls. That is the point of the game right, to knock over all the towers? You don't have to climb the scaffolding for that.

>>448241
>>448242
This is... the best gaming center ever.

Let's check out the carousel since we're like, right there.

First, check if there are any coins lying around. If this kind of thing is what happens in the game center, I really want to see their sandwiches.
