Animal Quills

I can barely relate to you through my experience of scimitar cat; I have an idea of what it's like to be something extinct with so few reliable sources to read about, but I don't have to live with it since it's not what I am. I guess I'm luckier, but even then, it can be hard too to be something that 1) doesn't interest anybody 2) or is too rare and shy to have huge amount of data. I'm left knowing that similar creatures exist somewhere, but I can't know much about them. It's frustrating in a different way.

I've come to a point where, after reading all what I could and feeling annoyed that I would not find more, I write about the animal(s) and make my own idea of them mostly from how I experience it. This especially apply to mythos, I'm left with the only option: creating them myself from the feeling I get. Thus, I stopped considering ravens as tricksters because I don't feel they are most of time; while caracals being tricksters sound more like a plausible thing from the way I experience and feel them.
