In Thilde Kold Holdt’s Hanged God series many of the characters have fylgja, an animal follower of Old Norse belief.
Fylgja’s are commonly inherited within a family line and reflect traits and personalities of the individual it follows. The fylgja only reveals itself when mortal danger is near, giving its human counterpart a chance to prevent looming death.
