Does anyone have any Animal alters?

Postby AShatteredSoul » Fri Sep 27, 2013 11:20 pm

I'm just wondering if anyone here, has or has had, any animal alters.

I don't know if it's that "normal", well if it happens alot, or well, I don't know really how to word this. (it's not making much sense in my head right now.)
But I don't think I've heard anyone talking about having an alter who's an animal.
I'm just wondering if there's anyone here who does.



(I'm pretty sure I used to when I was younger, actually two of them, I'm not sure if there still here though.)
So just wondering if anyone else does.

I do :) It's normal and the topic comes up pretty regularly here as most come here thinking no one else has them. But we do :D I've got two that I know of and 1 who is part animal, part girl (switches between). Totally normal :)

How do they ""act"" when they're out?

I know everyone's different but I'm just wondering.

Both of mine act completely as animals, meaning they don't understand language and they have the body language and behavior of an animal as well. I know that in many, if not most, systems the animal alters have certain human features to their personality profile. Each to their own system :)

I had(have) a dog alter. He always came out when I was a kid. Barked ( I mean really actually sound like a dog, not just saying "bark") made all the sounds of a dog. He'd talk to other dogs. He'd run around in the mud and everything. He knew some human language, as all dogs can learn. He was never the same type of dog. ( I don't know if that's "normal" ) He's always a big dog, with the same personality. He has different names also.
He was out probably 40% of the time.
But now he doesn't come out. I don't know if he's still there or not.
