Sacred Animals

There are a number of different animals that Egyptian Blessed might be able to change into. Therefore, it might help the Marshal to have some recommended statistics for them. Please note that a Blessed who changes into a Sacred Animal retains his Cognition, Knowledge, Smarts and Spirit.

"Night Vision" means that the creature can see in all but total darkness as if it were daylight. Unless specified otherwise, claw/bite attacks only do STR damage.

Please note that some Aptitudes are listed for Traits that the Blessed will be carrying over into animal form. In that case, use the Blessed's die type instead of that of the animal. However, if a Blessed ever botches while taking on the form of a Sacred Animal, he adopts all the Mental Traits as well, and is stuck in this form until the full duration of the Miracle expires.
