Occasionally, you'll come across an animal whose symbolism is so fitting, so right for the personality of a PC, that you just have to use it as a recurring motif in your character. Maybe even a pet.
My own character, Joshu Tabris, has an albino king cobra, for example. Besides the obvious indications of deception and trickery-he pefers planning and manipulation to brute force-it also indicates the occult (he's a warlock), and wisdom (he's actually quite alturistic, if a bit misanthropic). Dark is not evil, after all, and he's the living embodiment of that.
So, any other examples?
