Surprisingly, it’s been 1.5 years since this was last asked.
I pick Peregrine Falcon. They thrive all across the globe, they’re fast as fuck when they’re in a dive, they’re the cutest killers, but they’re not at the top of the pecking order, which means a lust for life.
Boring answer: human
Because I really appreciate sapienceDodo.
Reason: I want my dodo!
(it’s a reference)
I think being an ant or some other kind of eusocial insect would be interesting. Not the most peaceful existence out there, but definitely an interesting one.
A duck. I get to walk swim and fly!
A Greenland shark. I would just chill in the ocean forever.
Or maybe a Sperm whale so I could fight and eat giant squid all the time. >:3
Greenland shark would be kind of horrible imho. Stuck in eternal cold darkness and eventually some parasite eats your eyes and you can’t do anything about it
If I were confined to the aquatic, sperm whale would be my choice. Moby Dick, thou hast left thy mark on me.
Sea turtle
A little dog. Then a beautiful Fräulein would buy me and love me and cuddle me for the rest of my life. No need for wedding rings or divorce lawyers; just good food everyday and treats in between. What more could you want.
Seconding puppy dog :3. Free snacks if I do tricks, naps whenever I want, and a warm house to stay in for free? Sounds like a sweet deal
Monkey’s finger curls
You have just been born in a puppy mill. It’s overcrowded, there’s shit everywhere, and a lot of the dogs you’re crammed in with are diseased. Your mother tries to look at you, but her eyes are stuck closed with conjunctivitis. You try to suck on her nipples but there’s so little milk. You cough.

Humans don’t treat animals well enough.
A pineapple. Just seems pleasant.
Would I be limited to life on this planet? I wouldn’t mind having a go as some alien lifeform on some distant planet.
I don’t think the rest of the universe is that willing to see us spread around, as they’re watching us destroy the single planet we have access to. Human species is considered a bit too dangerous for the health of the rest of the universe.
Just imagining an alien studying a beetle analog and wondering why it’s killing everything within a meter of it and planting only one type of crop that it just uses to stand on.
Hornet: been 1 in a previous incarnation ( hornet/wasp/bee, anyways ), & their awareness is stupendous compared with the little awareness in a fish ( whatever kind of fish that incarnation was ).
The flying social/hive insects seem to pack the most awareness per mg of bodyweight among all creatures.

Better than wasp who just like to hurt ppl
I wont be around to experience it, so why bother? Id probably be a cat i guess.
Capybara would be legit. Chill with everyone. Just eat and swim all day.
Lore-accurate Lilith cause she seems nice.
Biblical or Diablo 4?
Little bit of this, little bit of that.
I’ve already been reincarnated as a wind turbine. I wasnt sure how to feel about it at first, but now I’m a big fan.
Hmm, I dunno. Everything blows when you’re a wind turbine.
I want to be reincarnated as a magic swordsman with OP skills and live a quiet life in the dangerous forest where everyone will leave me the fuck alone.
