Heh, and here my spirit animals are wolf and bear and recently I have been considering ampicyons which actually combine the two.

Have you ever
noticed how you never see anyone who’s spirit animal is the dung beetle, or
the carp, or the spider, or the snail, or the mole rat, or any other critter
that’s either not cuddly or not a really cool mythological?

Same here for me, I found that my spirit animal is the gray
wolf and I share some of the traits. Higher sense's; I.E. smell, hearing,
sight, ext. And after finding that I'm part wolf, things about me make
more since. I guess thats what drove me to anthropomorphic art. Looking for,
drawing and such. Hell I'd like to change my email handle, but it wont
let me >.<;; Being Hunter X no longer suits me as a handle, lately with
most games I've been useing Kodoku Okami or some veryation of it.
Usually involving Okami in the name. (Kodoku Okami = Loan Wolf)

An example of that: Mine is a tiger. I feel that I have some of the traits
associated with Tiger, but desire others. I also happen to follow somewhat in
the shamanistic tradition.
However, that doesn't stop me from laughing
at some of the stuff Jim draws, or look at things differently as he presents
them. I rather like that, concidering things that most don't.

To a
great extent, that's very true.

I can't speak for everyone, but I would say that a
lot of Furs pick their avatars because they see something in that entity that
they wish to emulate. Whether it be wisdom, power, honor, independence, sexual
prowess, cunning, or whatnot, they are trying to imbibe or associate
themselves with some of that creature's traits. The other side of that is
people who already have (or believe they have) certain traits and choose an
avatar that they feel matches them already, rather then something they want to
be.
I don't see anything inherently wrong with either of these choices,
but as with all other things, they can be taken too far.
We've all heard
about Mr. DarkWolf BloodMoon who can shag a woman for eight hours straight,
has a 14' johnson, six-pack abs and will rip the throat out of anyone who
looks at him funny; but is actually a 15yo sweaty fat kid with a pizza-face,
no self-esteem, a chronic masturbation problem and has never touched a real
woman his entire life.
Or Mr. StarBringer LightShine who believes they
really are a Gryphon and doesn't have the time or desire to talk to "lesser"
beings who can't possibly understand him.
I'm sure that archetypes
within the fandom exist - but they're not universal. Most of the other Dragons
that I know are generous, friendly people who I enjoy hanging out with. Some
of the wolves I've had dealings with have been pretty shallow and
self-centered, but there are a few who are very good friends of mine and are
very valuable to me as such, and I won't take them for granted.
Foxes and
Rabbits, Hybrids and unique creations, everyone chooses an avatar as the face
they want to show the Furry world. How closely it resembles their "true" face
is a discovery we all have to make on a case-by-case basis. Unless we want to
try and segregate the
species...
