In any other universe, daemons being mythical creatures might indicate a kind of fancifulness from the person but since the Merlin verse actually HAS magical creatures is it more commonplace?
That is something I totally considered, but at the moment, none of my characters have magical creatures, due to the fact that I felt like Uther would put anyone to death who had a magical creature for a daemon, in fear that that person was magical. Also most of ones I found appeared on the show as 'shit, sorcery, kill it!' . But I do think that some people in that universe do have magical creatures, and they do tend to have magic.
But I gave Merlin a duck. Because they are symbol of someone of many resources in heraldry, and also, they look mild-mannered, but are actually pretty vicious and dangerous when roused. I gave him a golden cascade (http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/Ducks/GoldCas/GoldenCasDuckHead.JPEG) duck, because gold=magic and also they look like such cheerful dorks.
