my personal favourite animal aspect for demon!Aziraphale is the European badger (Meles meles) 🦡
and that's because badgers are shy, tidy creatures of habit who love their food - sound familiar?
badgers are strictly nocturnal and rarely seen during the day, they're elusive and tend to avoid contact with humans. they dig burrows called setts with distinctive entrances shaped like a D on its side, so it looks like a little doorway!
if you're ever in the woods (in Europe, obviously) and there seems to be little paths carved through the underbrush, they're likely made by badgers! they walk the same paths every night, to and from their sett, their favourite foraging spots and their latrine. yes, you read that right, latrine - a sett of badgers will have an area designated specifically for doing their business away from food, water and their sett, which is quite sanitary! they also gather new bedding to sleep on every night and kick it out the next day so they can be comfy-cozy and clean, which i'm sure Aziraphale would appreciate.
badgers vary their omnivorous diet throughout the year, favouring certain foods based on what is most plentiful each season. the bulk of their diet is made up of earthworms, but they also eat other invertebrates like slugs and insects. fruit, vegetables, nuts, seeds, roots, bulbs, birds' eggs, and small animals including hedgehogs, rabbits (sorry, Eric) and frogs (sorry, Hastur) - they're little stripy gourmands!
that's why i think the humble badger suits Aziraphale best. thanks for coming to my tedtalk

As a fandom old, I am used to looking for CRUMBS of content. They just gave us a whole fucking cake.

Like if I were going to parody Michael Sheen on a late night show I’d joke about him having a Michael Sheen themed birthday party. The fact that they are doing it in real life is so based and hilarious.
