WIN a signed copy of #ACOTAR by Sarah J. Maas! Tell us, if you were a fae shapeshifter, which animal you would be and why using #24HrsofACOTAR

Personally, if I was a fae shapeshifter, the animal I would choose would be…

An octopus

  1. They can change the colourandtexture of their skin instantly, which would be handy when it comes to tricking human senses.
  2. They have 3 hearts. Can you imagine having a heart attack as an octopus? Would you even know you had one since you’d have 2 hearts left to pump with? And it someone cast a spelltostop my heart, it wouldn’t be lethal.
  3. With8 tentacles I could stranglehug so many fae courtiers at the same time. Not to mention being able to get all my chores done in a fraction of the time from being able to multitask with so many appendages.
  4. Ink cloud. I’d never be without a convenient sample of ink to pen a letter, and I’d be able to escape potential assailants by releasing one.
  5. No bones means superb flexibility. Good luck trying to ensnare a fae that can change themselves into a cephalopod. If I was caught in a snare, it’s a quick fix.
  6. Asharp beak with a powerful clamp force. Worst case scenario, I have to reduce myself to biting my attacker. How uncouth. Cauldron-willing it won’t go through to the bone of the dim darling that dared raise a hand to me. (And…if I don’t have a nutcracker handy on Christmas Day I’m not too worried).

I suppose the fae /mythical creature I would be is a Cecaelia - half human, half octopus people (like Ursula from the little mermaid).
