In the new book The Ninja Librarians: The Accidental Keyhand, the two main characters travel through a Narnian-wardrobe-esque portal into another dimension. Unfortunately, they accidentally bring a mongoose with them (long story), and he ends up wreaking as much havoc in his new home as he did in his former home.
If I could bring a creature with me on an adventure, I think I would want something more useful than a mongoose. I'd want someone who could be helpful in situations I might encounter, and probably a creature who is mostly self-sustaining and able to adjust to a new situation quickly. Strength and healing powers would be great, too. If I got to choose any creature to take on an adventure with me, I'd choose
Fawkes, Dumbledore's phoenix from the Harry Potter series. Fawkes has healing tears; he's loyal; and he's very strong. Also, since he can fly, he could carry me if I needed to get somewhere. And I wouldn't have to worry about finding him a litter box or special food or anything.
How about you? If you could take any creature (real or imagined) on an adventure, which creature would you pick?
