[QUOTE="Tyler Do'Urden, post: 425026, member: 4601"] Talking animals can be downright creepy if done right- think Son of Sam. Here's an idea from one of the Swashbuckling Adventures sourcebooks- A magical parrot (we'll just call him "Mad Jack") has been passed around from sailor to sailor over the years. This parrot, whenever it gets the chance, uses a [I]suggestion[/I] effect upon it's owner, ordering it to brutally murder helpless individuals whenever it gets the chance. Example: Captain Blarney has just captured a cog laden with booty bound for a distant shore. He's subdued the crew, and has them gathered on deck before him. However, just as he's about to tell them that they will be marooned on the nearest shore, Mad Jack immediately chimes in- "Sqwak! Kill them all! Kill them all and drink their blood!" Captain Blarney, missing his saving throw against the bird's suggestion, can't help but comply. A talking animal with a taste for blood can be very disturbing (and not at all cute). [/QUOTE]
