			== Explanation ==
			The Creature Birthright represents a Avatar’s close tie
			to a creature of legend, usually provided by a divine parent
			as a mount or companion. A player has all of mundanity
			and literature (especially the stories of his character’s
			chosen pantheon) to draw upon when choosing a creature
			for his Avatar. This Birthright might represent a coatl,
			benu bird, crocodile, wolf, snake or other creature. With
			enough dots invested in this Birthright, a Avatar could
			have an even more impressive creature at her disposal,
			such as a kirin or a young dragon.

			Although the line between animal and human
			intelligence is often blurred in the realms of legend,
			this trait typically represents creatures of roughly animal
			intelligence. For more intelligent beings (centaurs or
			tengu, for example), the Followers or Guide Birthrights
			are more appropriate.

			The entities covered by the Creature Birthright are
			assumed to be quite loyal, though not necessarily to a suicidal
			degree. If a creature would die to protect its master, that will
			become clear through roleplaying. It’s not assumed merely by
			allocating dots to this Birthright. Communication is likewise
			not taken for granted. At the start of a cycle, Avatars and
			their pets might share a limited form of communication (a
			few simple commands), and they can expand on this limited
			repertoire as the cycle proceeds. The Creature Birthright
			does not endow an otherwise unintelligent creature with
			telepathy or the ability to discuss higher level concepts,
			though Avatars proficient in the Dominion of Beasts might have
			some advantages in this regard.

			Note that the dot descriptions here are merely
			guidelines. A very powerful nekomata, for example, would
			certainly rate more than a single dot, while an infant dragon
			would cost less than five. Use the following descriptions
			as rules of thumb.

			==== Trait Effects ====
			{\| class="wikitable"
			\|-
			\|<span style="font-size:large">●</span>\|\|The creature is small, weak, somewhat fragile or perhaps entirely incorporeal — a weak nekomata, a monkey, a scarab, an owl or a raven, for example. Such creatures are useful for warning their owners of dangers and providing some limited reconnaissance, but little else.
			\|-
			\|<span style="font-size:large">●●</span>\|\|The creature is a somewhat larger or more powerful mundane beast—tigers, wolves, boars, large birds of prey. Weak entities can also be included here—a serpopard, Stymphalian bird, or various and sundry nature spirits would fall into this category.
			\|-
			\|<span style="font-size:large">●●●</span>\|\|The creature is a beast of modest power, such as a golem, coatl or a pegasus.
			\|-
			\|<span style="font-size:large">●●●●</span>\|\|The creature is a more powerful one, such as the Taureau-Trois-Graines or a valkyrie horse.
			\|-
			\|<span style="font-size:large">●●●●●</span>\|\|The creature is a unique beast of legend (such as Gullinbursti) or a particularly dangerous monster such as a kirin, a roc or a basilisk.
