What is God’s Daemon?

Dear God,
I just can’t wait for the movie The Golden Compass to come out next week. I’ve already read the book five times this year, I’m getting so excited.
When I visited the Golden Compass movie web site, I found out that my daemon is a mouse. That got me wondering - what’s your daemon, God?

Luther,
I am like a child in that I can have a daemon of any form that I want. Sometimes it’s a human being, like Krishna or Jesus. Sometimes it’s a monkey, like Hanuman. Once, it was a winged serpent, in Central America. In the Pacific islands, my daemon has sometimes been a giant eel, or a big coconut. On the Great Plains of North America, my daemon was a buffalo for a while, though further north it was a raven, and in some of the rivers of the West, it was a salmon. In Africa, my daemon has been a spider, a monkey, a jackal, and all sorts of other things.
You think about it, and my daemon can be that shape… or, it can have no shape at all.
