Teakettler

**Teakettlers** are a species of magical beast that originated in North America, specifically Wisconsin and Minnesota, but have now spread worldwide. Some say that the first teakettler was an alchemical experiment gone awry. Said alchemist supposedly tried to alchemically fuse his dog with his cat and his tea kettle, but the experiment didn't go so well.

## Appearance

Teakettlers tend to look like canine/feline/teakettle hybrids, with metallic-colored fur/skin, a mainly canine face, feline ears, feline eyes, a long neck, similar to the spout on a tea kettle, a kettle lid handle on their backs, feline-like tails, and, oddly enough, backwards-facing legs and paws. Also, they tend to have steam issuing from their mouths, and tend to make a sound like a teakettle whistling (hence the name).

## Behavior

Teakettlers tend to live in packs of several individuals, all led by the alpha male and alpha female. Females tend to have around 1-9 babies in a litter. Due to their backwards-facing legs, teakettlers can only move backwards.
