Awakened Kickstarter

Awakened - NPC's and Companions for 5E is a new Kickstarter project from Baby Bestiary. The tome includes some outstanding artwork and a collection of very memorable npc's

Here's a sample:

There are a few tiers. You can back to get pdf, pdf and print, pdf and previous Baby Bestiary pdf's, pdf and print of previous products, etc. The project funded in about 24 hours, which is always cool.

Maybe it's because I grew up watching Disney flicks, but I love intelligent animals. I think that's one of the reasons this project sounds so cool to me. I'd definitely like a print copy.

So, have any of you used awakened animals in your game? If so, how did the players react?
