I want my dæmon!

I am so amazed with Dæmons (from the movie: The Golden Compass) so i asked myself, how would my dæmon look like if i had one? On the verge of being so desperate about the idea, i visited the official website of the movie and tried my luck if they have a quiz or game of some sort… it must be my lucky day, they have.. nyahahaha!

But first let me educate you with Dæmons. According to Wikipedia:

Dæmons are a key element in Phillip Pullman’s “His Dark Materials” trilogy (The Golden Compass (a.k.a. The Northern Lights), The Subtle Knife, and The Amber Spyglass). In the books, the dæmons are shape-shifting (mostly in animal forms) alter egos of humans that accompany them from childhood, and which finally settle into their true form when the humans reach puberty. The form in which the dæmon settles upon is representative of the human’s personality or station in life — servants typically have a dog or domestic animal dæmon, while powerful characters have more exotic dæmons such as leopards or snakes.


And below is my Dæmon:

Your profile reveals that you are proud, dependable, a leader, assertive and passive. You are therefore matched with the OSPREY Dæmon.

Your Dæmon Athenestia is one of 18177 osprey Dæmons within the total Dæmon population of 553951. Athenestia is a female Dæmon, as human and Dæmon pairs are typically the opposite sex.


And what are Ospreys? Below is the description according to our oh so available wikipedia:

The Osprey (Pandion haliaetus), also known colloquially as seahawk, fish hawk or fish eagle, is a medium-large fish-eating bird of prey or raptor. However, it is not the same as a sea-eagle. It is found on all continents except Antarctica although in South America it occurs only as a non-breeding migrant. It is widely distributed because it tolerates a wide variety of habitats, nesting in any location which is near a body of water and provides an adequate food supply. It is divided into four similar subspecies.

Because the Osprey has many unique characteristics, it has been given its own taxonomic genus, Pandion, and family, Pandionidae. It is a medium-sized raptor, reaching 60 cm (24 in) in length with a 1.8 m (6 ft) wingspan. It is brown on the upper parts and predominantly whitish on the head and underparts, with a brownish eye patch and wings.

As its other common names suggest, the Osprey’s diet consists almost exclusively of fish. It has evolved particular physical characteristics and exhibits some unique behaviors to assist in hunting and catching prey.

There.. curiosity satisfied. :lol:
