what year are you? how would you game-ize the zodiac?

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

Rabbit? Al-mi'raj of course, a big yellow hare with a black unicorn's horn on its head, with the abiltiy to blink.

As for the sheep, how about a Dire Ram?

 

[Calico_Jack73]

For the sheep how about a Bauriaur? Centaurs but with Ram features instead of horse features and the head has a pair of ram horns growing on it. It was a playable Planescape race.

I'd be a Minotaur... 1973.

c'mon the rabbit is an easy one....how many monty python fans does it take?


edit: and since the most memorable rakhasha was a tiger....even tho elephant and other forms were possible.

That's exactly what I was thinking. What do they call that little bugger again? I know they have a name for it in the movie, but we've always just called it the Vorpal Bunny...

A Water Minotaur, to be exact }

Kannik (also a water Minotaur)

What about Wererat?

sheep? lil' help on that one?

I'l agree Dire Ram of some sort.

what year are you? how would you game-ize the zodiac?

I'm a Dragon, fire element from what little I've read on it, everyone always never I was arrogant, self-serving, greedy, chaotic, and evil.

Edit: born 1976, May-ish.

They're apes.
