How are Pyre, Noddy, and Vvorn around animals? Are they animal lovers, or do they prefer to keep their distance? Are there any exceptions to the rule?

Bonus question: What animal do you think best represents each of them?

Pyre is a big man, but he's also very calm and level, so even if animals are spooked by his size at first, he's surprisingly good at calming them down if need be. He likes them just fine, doesn't tend to seek them out unless he has to, but he's very much the sort of man to wind up with a "Dad and the pet he didn't want" sort of relationship lmao. I imagine a cat that comes to like/trust him would be eager to climb up onto his shoulder and be Very Tall.

I feel like he's got the bearing of a solitary sort of wildcat. A panther, maybe? Big and powerful, but terrifyingly quiet when he needs to be.

Noddy is a manic little freak so i think he makes most critters pretty nervous? he's fast and loud and twitchy, and he tends to show a lot of teeth, so he tends to spook animals even if he doesn't mean to. unfortunately, he usually means to... i think he likes them more than they tend to like him, and if he manages to find one that's not scared of him? Best Friend. he's had that owlbear cub for a day and a half, but if anything happened to it he'd kill everyone on the Sword Coast and then himself.

Definitely liken him to like... some sort of mustelid. Like a ferret. Long, quick, and tends to lead with his teeth.

Vvornth is a big, friendly guy, but he's Huge And Loud. Got a stage voice. I think he likes animals, but he can be a little too enthusiastic. Not very bright, either. Can absolutely see him trying to make friends and scaring them off completely by mistake. Similar vein to Noddy, but less intentionally intimidating! He's also a bit scared to touch them if they're smaller. Sometimes he doesn't quite know his own strength, and i think it would break his heart to to hurt a cute lil critter by mistake. He's caused enough pain.

I'm thinking like a big mastiff of some sort. Like a cane corso. Big and friendly, maybe a little drooly, and ferociously loyal once you've earned it and would tear apart anything that would threaten you <3
