>>59061146nta but the point isn't "can it be explained" but rather" does it make sense at first muster". He's arguing that since skeledirge and the beaver are the only ones that don't make sense on first muster then the beaver is dumb. I was the one arguing with him, and I'm saying that you just have to incorporate it beyond the surface level - like making a frog have the bulb on its back, tie salamander into its culturally-significant association with fire, make the chameleon actually based on a basilisk as well, or even, yes, make it spectral and thus more compatible with a fire theme. He seemed to not understand that he was being self-contradictory.
