Okami's thing was that you stayed a wolf throughout the game. Thats just what Ammy is. A wolf god thingdeal whos all awesome and doesnt afraid of anything.

I loved being a big poochess in TP. Its probably my favorite thing about that game. Sure, more could have been done to make it funner. Combat was wonky and clunky as all hell, but wolf senses and digging was neat. I wish there was a minigame or some junk taking digging into account.
