For that matter, how about a flying pig? Then at least outsiders will get
the joke.
You know, a slightly lean, brightly smiling, winged angel-pig with what
might or might not be a curly tail.
Hey, he could have a cape, like Super Pig.
Think about it, you'll learn to love it.
The key here is "cute." People don't want an ugly chicken-like creature
that is clearly ready to attack at the slightest provocation.
Octopi and ants may also be good, if they have wings.
Have fun,
