Episode 33: Fantastic Beasts & Animal Companions

There’s something wonderful about animal companions in fantasy, magical or not. We’d love to do a deep dive into why these friendly critters capture our hearts, the various types of animals usually found in fantasy stories, and examining how the fantasy genre’s relationship with animals has evolved over the decades.

Unfortunately, this is not that episode.

If you’ve ever been captivated by the majestic beauty of a woolly coo, wondered about the logistics of riding a giant snake into battle, or been curious about the myriad of deadly creatures lurking in Australia… you’re welcome.

And if not? Don’t say you weren’t warned.
