Sharanimal 

A smallish dark haired animal that is a cross-breed between a raccoon and a chinchilla. This versatile animal can be quite wiley and sometimes can be seen performing Ninja moves that resemble Chris Farley from Beverly Hills Ninja. This animal has a screachy voice that is often compared to the mythical Banshees.

The term can also refer to someone that can spontaneously change from being a nice to a crazed lunatic. Often comparisons are made to Stewie Griffin from Family Guy in the episode where Stewey goes crazy for Pancakes (that people mistakenly believes is Crack Cocaine).
"Man, that girl just went sharanimal for no reason!"

"Dude, my gf went sharanimal when she saw me talking to those chicks over there. I got scratches all over my body and she tried to ninja kick me!"

"Remember that episode of Stewie hooked on pancakes? She was just like him, all Sharanimal!"

A mode of dealing with the spirit world through the agency of an individual set apart as spirit possessed and specially equipped to deal with superhuman forces. The term Shaman is generically applied to healers, exorcists, sorcerers, magicians, etc.
A practitioner of Shamanism is a Shaman. Shamans gain knowledge and the power to heal by entering into the spiritual world or dimension. The shaman may have, or acquire many spirit guides in the spirit world, these often guide and direct the shaman in his/her travels. These spirit guides are always present within the shaman though others only encounter them when the shaman is in a trance. The spirit guide energizes the shaman, enabling him/her to enter the spiritual dimension. The shaman heals within the spiritual dimension by returning 'lost' parts of the human soul from wherever they have gone. The shaman also cleanses excess negative energies which confuse or pollute the soul. Shaman act as "mediators" in their culture. The shaman communicates with the spirits on behalf of the community, including the spirits of the deceased. The shaman communicates with both living and dead to alleviate unrest, unsettled issues, and to deliver gifts to the spirits. Often, unsettled issues can be resolved with money. Paper money can be burnt to transfer its value to the spirits.
