Have a look at what's next from the folks who brought you Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. How's that for a character design? He's so ugly that he's adorable. You could say he's a giant possum/rat/squirrel thing with elements of a cat, a dog, and a bird. Or, in the tradition of Team Ico's previous games, he seems to be a cross between Yorda, a Colossus, and the horse.

Whatever he is, move over, Fable II dog. I have a new best friend.

(Thanks Jazar!)
