PROMPT: Fictional Animal

Daily writing prompt
If you could pick any fictional animal to be your lifelong companion (like a Pokémon or fantasy pet), what would it be?

None of the fictional animals I’m aware of (e.g. Dragons, Minotaur, Hydras, Werewolves, Fu-Lions, etc.) would make good “lifelong companions” as they would not be conducive to a life that was long. Perhaps the kind of foxes one sees in Chinese and Japanese folklore, though those relationships also usually end poorly (not to mention being weirdly sexual.)

Tamed (Lyric Poem]

Mural in Mtatsminda Park, Tbilisi
Ah, so nice to be Tamed --
Never again the same.
What style of Wild do you
Think one could retain?

Being tamed would just be aces,
If one could keep some Wild, in traces.
