Soul Daemon
The Soul Daemon can be shaped like any animal, up until their human's start of puberty. A Soul Daemon can never stray far from their human; they are their human's soul, a part of them, and it would feel like your heart has been ripped out to have it away from you. Your Soul Daemon reflects you, and your Soul Daemon is usually of the other gender, and if not, you are usually attracted to the same sex. Everyone is born with one, even muggles, but not many can see them, or hear them. There is not much known about them, as each one is different, but the Ministry fears them, and has classed them a danger to society, but cannot do anything about people having visible ones, as that is who they are.
When a Dementor gives the Kiss, one's Soul Daemon gets devoured, leaving the human an empty shell, a husk.
An African Tribe has found a way to make them visible to everyone, but some are born with the ability to see and hear, and feel.
The Witches of the North have found a way for the Soul Daemon to be far from one's heart, to be miles away without dieing.
