Example Entry:
Wildwood Owlet

This owlet evolved large, adorable eyes to deter hungry predators with its cuteness. Are you going to fall for that? (Special thanks Petrichora.)

This insect's fur is perfect for spinning and knitting a sweater - although you'll need a lot to make one for an Imperial!
