been designing a creature. weird little chickendragon. two legs, two wings, strong prehensile tail with a weird grabby bean at the end. feet are about as functional as hands.
the tail evolved to help with taking flight, both from the ground (they do a big spring off the bean after a running start) and by helping them climb trees and cliffsides to take off from there.
subsequently, having what amounts to a third limb may have allowed their feet to evolve to have all the uses of hands -- despite, unlike humans, still having to use them for walking and climbing.

waaa thank you, that's very encouraging to keep exploring these critters! I managed to snag a toyhouse invite so I'm gonna try to put all their species and setting stuff together there at some point. and yeah, big ol graspy paws on a delicate creature was an intentional choice cus I like the contrast, I'm really glad someone noticed :D
also your work is REALLY excellent!

I would love to get to read about environment or diet stuff, ahh I love creature lore! I'll be excited to see ^^ I'd love to doodle some when you've got everything all together :D I look at this body type, so much is possible! So many specializations and lifestyles...
Ah thank you! *forgets she could be noticed* I hope you have a nice day!
