        Idunno, aardvarks? Other than their weird name and appearance, I don’t know much about them, but I bet they’re fascinating!

          I don’t know a lot about fantasy animals, but I can tell you that if you run into a group of five or more aardvarks at night, don’t turn around. In the best case they’ll mug you, worst case you’ll become one of them. Lost my grandpa that way.

          Aside from that they are probably based on kangaroos. You know how medieval painters were terrible at drawing lions? Modern physicists believe that two (or more) gods got really drunk, and one didn’t want to admit to the other that they don’t know what roos look like. It was probably really awkward.

          Wait. That son of a bitch…
