[polymorphikos]

The child from the short-story "It's A Good Day", possibly one of the greatest stories ever written. Frankenstein's monster, the raptors in Jurrassic Park, James Bond, the Phantom, Conan the Cimmerian, Lucinda Carlton (don't worry, you've never heard of her, and she only exists in three exercise books in my bedroom), Alex from A Clockwork Orange, Oenode in the Night's Dawn Trilogy, Al Capone in the same, The Bride, Tarzan, and that little black bird in the Warner Bros cartoons that just plods along and is always being chased, but wlks straight through mountains and up cliffs and under the ocean and is ever-ellusive. Finally, Flute in the Tamuli et al, and Polgara. Of all of them, though, probably the little black bird.
