My Daemon
Thanks to Tasha at Kids Lit, I discovered that The Golden Compass movie site has a quiz you can take to discover your daemon. Here's mine:
What do you think? I'm not sure that I'm modest or humble, but the rest of it sounds right to me. My Daemon isn't fixed in form yet, so you can click on the link above to say whether you agree or disagree. You can also create your own Daemon at The Golden Compass movie web site.

Hmmm...Is that an ocelot, Sheila?
Yes, it is!
Today's PSA: Speaking of Ocelots, did you know that there are less than 100 Ocelots left in the United States? If you'd like to help, you can donate to help save the Ocelot.
My answer: Anicetos, the Wolf Daemon. Your profile reveals that you are modest, competitive, inquisitive, proud and humble.
I'm not sure if I'm surprised that Roger is an ocelot or surprised that Roger did it at all. Next he'll be doing meme's and then it will all go to hell.
I have to do mine, but I'll do it at home instead of work (where I just read blogs and comment).
Well, it looks like mine is no longer an ocelot! I chose the option to have my daemon not fixed in form, but I didn't know it would change so quickly! How cool is that? I'm not sure what that is, but it's definitely not an ocelot - maybe a lynx? I can't seem to find a way to find out.
Yours is a hare now Sheila !
Wow, that's really interesting. I think I liked the lynx better. But it may change again, so I suppose I shouldn't get too attached to any of them. I wonder why yours is still a tiger?
Mine is now a wolf - which I must admit I love, because I've long had a love of wolves...
I suspect the rapidity (or not) of change is down to how many people decide to respond to the "Is it a match" - the more people respond to it, the more likely it is that the Daemon's form will change.
Interesting. I love wolves, too. You may be correct about the rapidity of change being due to responses. It seems that Liz's has changed a lot.
Now I'm a tiger! I think I'm having personality issues!
I'm also a tiger ! Clearly our Blog readers have differing views of us ! It's going to be interesting to see what forms we settle in...
Great round up; I can't wait to see what everything ends up being once we're "settled."
Clymonistra the Chimp: Solitary, modest, humble, flexible and spontaneous.
Thanks, Liz. I find the whole thing rather fascinating and I admit I've spent far too much time on it. On the other hand, the visual DNA thing hasn't really caught my interest. Different strokes, I guess!
Oh, and it looks like I'm back to the lynx, at least for now.
Wow...this is so fascinating. I love my tiger, but I wish I had waited to "form."
Hello!
I started out as an ocelot, and then my mother turned me into a mouse (she ascribed more modesty than I actually had, she said). Currently, I'm a fox. I'll be interested to see how I and others settle.

I see that I'm still a tiger... Perhaps people have stopped responding to mine now ?
Mine is Boreallus the spider. We're solitary, modest, humble, dependable and a leader. Hopefully I don't creep people out as much as Boreallus. I chose to lock mine in.

What fun this is! I've been gone all day and just got back. I'll put up the new ones shortly.
OK, the changes are up. And mine is now a hare again!
I'm Olin the Crow. At least for now...
I tried this last week but when I tried to blog it the code didn't work. I did it again today and fooled around until I got it working. I got an Ocelot both times. That's just what I was hoping for so I don't want it to change! When I read the books a couple of years ago I was wishing for a cat daemon. Here's my post.
I found out how you can tell how many times your daemon has changed, and how long until it settles. If you embedded your daemon in your page, it doesn't show that information, but if you link to it on the Golden Compass web site, you can see it. To find it on the Golden Compass web site, you need to get the ID number for your daemon. If you don't have it already, here's how you can find it:
View source for the page which has the daemon embedded. Find the part of the code that looks like this:
<param name="movie" value="http://goldencompassmovie.com/goldenCompass_blog.swf?id=15823">
That number at the end (15823 in my case) is your ID number. Then you just go to the following page:
http://www.goldencompassmovie.com/?15823
Replace the 15823 with your ID number.
Mine says that my Daemon has transformed 8 times and has 11 days left until it settles into its final form. I hope it changes again - I don't want to be a hare!
Mine is a hare called Euthalias.
She can be found here
Mine is named Skaene, but it doesn't seem to want to settle. It is pretty consistent in being some form of dog or wolf. That makes sense, because I can really be a . . . oh wait, this is a nice kidlit blog, isn't it? :)
Maureen
Somebody help me! I'm stuck as a hare and I don't want to be a hare. Only 7 days until I settle. Waaaaah!
Not any more ! You're now a wolf...
I don't want a spider... *sadness* I was quite happy with my Tiger...
Oh, yay! I like the wolf! I hope I get to keep this one. Thanks!
Don't worry, Michele, the time left to settle seems to reset each time the Daemon transforms. So you should be back to 12 days. Hopefully it'll change again in that time. You were a tiger so long I really thought that was going to be its final form!
Oh really ? Then how does it ever settle ? I thought it was going to settle on the Tiger too...
I'm assuming that after a while it will stop transforming and then it will settle. I can't figure out if the transformations are directly related to someone rating your daemon characteristics, or if there is a random factor in there.
I have no idea about that either !!
Oh, no, I'm back to a hare again! Darn, I was hoping I would stay a wolf.
What an interesting website you have and life you lead. I started in publishing (textbooks), but an in another industry now.
My daemon's Euthalias a red fox. Pretty much (exactly?) the same descriptors as for your daemon.
