It doesn't really take much to get a certain kind of person to start
"putting one over on the yokels" and telling ... exaggerated ... stories
about local fauna (and sometimes flora). So, we get the Texas rats that
chase cats, Australian 'drop bears', New York City's alligators in the
sewers, "hoop snakes", et cetera, und so weiter, and so on.

People being people, 37 centuries isn't going to change certain things.

That's where you come in. Let's have the stories that _your_ world tells
the yokels about local fauna and flora. Are they the man-eating muddibs,
desert worms that tracelessly swim through sand like eels swim through
water? The "hanging ballon", a floating creature that unerringly makes
its way toward your campfire, where the hydrogen and methane gas that
gives it its buoyancy explodes, stunning everyone around so that the
stobor can get them? Something else? C'mon, give! I'll be taking the
good ones and combining them into an article for Freelance Traveller, so
let's have some fun!
