Category:Animaguses

An Animagus is a magician that can change their form from either Human or Elf to an animal. Among witches and wizards it is a skill learned, not inherited; Elven magicians seem to have an easier time with this than humans do.

Elves have the disadvantage of having a limited range of animals that they can change into, though. While human Animagi get the animal-form that best represents their personality, Elves can only morph into one of those animals that exists in their environment. For example; an Elf who has grown up in Mirkwood can only change into animals inhabiting the forest (eg. Sarah Ferenish is a falcon), while an Elf that has grown up in Rivendell can only change into animals inhabiting the more mountain-like environments (eg. Sonya Temelóri is a wolf).

The Queens of the Four Nations achieve the ability to become Animagi without any training upon accepting the throne in their country. Unlike other Animagi, they can have up to two shapes that they can shift into and Freedom (and later Sandra Roberts) showed that they sometimes did not always have control of the shifting; if they got really mad, they could change into one of their forms to show their feelings, without knowing they did. Sandra also noticed that the size of her lion-form varied depending on how mad she was and that sometimes she would wake up in her human form again without knowning what had happened (referred to as snapping).

Besides the Queens, also several Princes and Princesses of the Four Nations have showed that they have become Animagi without any certain training. No explanation is given to why this happens, but it is possible that it has to do with the relationship they have with the original Four Queens; the shorter the line is between one of them and the Prince/Princess in question, the bigger the chance of becoming an Animagi.

Those Animagi who accepted a position as a Guardian also altered one/both of their forms, as the position as Guardian gave them wings. These wings could be shown or hidden, both in human- and animal-form.

Elven dweomer-masters were also able to train to become Animagi; their forms were limited to bird-forms only and the technique they used to change was more complicated than the one used by other witches and wizards. They were also unable to change their size, resulting in their forms being unnaturally large. This technique was also mastered by some human and Horsekin dweomer-masters.
