most of the talismans have powers that connect to the animal that make sense;
1) birds fly, 2) rabbits are fast, 3) dragon breathe exploding fireballs, 4) oxen are strong, there are some that are close,
5) snakes are stealthy and stay hidden, 6) "monkey see monkey do", 7) "healthy as a horse", 8) counting sheep to sleep is related to astral projectionthen there are some that are a bit of a leap but i an still follow/voodoo logic them out
9) rats have and spread many viruses and bacteria, types of life at the smallest level, 10) dogs are life long loyal friends, and therapy dogs are used in hospitals to help patients 11) tigers are striped orange and black, two distinct parts of one being but there is one that has be baffled completely. how is 12) the pig animal connected to laser vision? i know its a cartoon, but it seems that they either got the everything else done and said "screw it, pig is heat beam and we can now go home", or the creators are just really big fans of superman, but they lacked a breath, x-ray, and hearing talismansconsidering the show is already run its course, this is coming too late, but i would have liked to have seen the pig have some sort of power that could be traced to the animal. while a "cover yourself in mud" talisman or "blackhole stomach" talisman would be a little too silly, maybe it could have created food, as pigs are commonly connected to gluttony. i have also heard of pigs being used to find mushrooms, so what if the pig was the "super smell" talisman, or better yet, the "finder" talisman that can locate what the user wants, such as other talismans, gold, people, etc. the dark hand could have started out getting the pig early and using it instead of the 4 headed dragon detector. what would really make it interesting is if it was the "super smell/finder" talisman that allowed the user to find what he/she wanted by locking onto the scent, so they would have to literally "follow their nose"
