Animals of Emory Haven
Animals are just that, animals. They are those within the animal kingdom be it mammal, reptile, aviary etc.
The sensitivities mentioned above still play a factor on animals, seeing as they are natural entities. This could play out in a number of ways. An animal that is partially sensitive to magic, may be spooked by it or seek to learn more. Those that are not sensitive could just be completely oblivious. The magic and the animal’s nature will be the factors in how it will react.
The unique thing with animals and their sensitivity to the supernatural is that if they possess the ability to even see or feel a bit of what is truly there, the animal may choose to seek out becoming a familiar of one of the various mystical beings. Some spells and magic may also help these animals communicate with mystical beings but natural animals do not talk as humans do.

Strength and skills seen in animals
- Loyalty: Animals, no matter the species, hold a general sense of loyalty, whether towards their fellow animals or towards their owners.
- Environmental Sync: Even the animals that spend their days indoors with their owner have an almost spiritual connection to nature.
- Strong Instincts: Animals are intuitive and keen to their surroundings by nature. Their behaviors are driven by inherent instinct in everything they do rather than rational thought.
- Resourceful: Animals work well with what they are given.
- Heightened Senses: Even though they lack any sort of supernatural senses, many animals possess far superior senses when in competition with humans.
Weaknesses and restrictions seen in animals
- Limited Communication: Their communication, unless altered by a spell, is limited to behavioral signals, and instinct rather than any written language or speech.
- Mortality: Comparatively, animals get the short end of the stick when it comes to life span.
- Vulnerability: Natural creatures, without any additive of magic, are rather squishy and easily hurt.
