Sapient animals of the Neath

As excellent as a respected family of toads would be, that seems to be a random rumor. Opening the boxes reveals that they are empty, but came from Polythreme for Mr Cups.

Speaking of toads, knot-oracles (ocular toadbeasts) can speak human language once they have consumed a human. They can then share knowledge and secrets.
Of course this seems more like a weird monster trait rather than regular neathy sapience.

WHAT OF THE B____Y FOXES?

Have they gone South? Have they gone North? I have scoured most of the Neath in FL and SL, and what is available of the High Wilderness in SS, but I am still to find a d____d fox!

By the word of god (Failbetter games) they have gone south to the elder continent, after a feud with Mr Cups regarding what animal will accompany the relickers.

I don’t think it’s sapient, but the tell-tale beetle is definitely smarter than a normal insect. Any insect that you can release outside and have it come back to you bearing gifts is definitely smart for a bug.

[quote=Anchovies][quote=Catherine Raymond]The Haunted-Looking Dog also speaks. &quotCats, cats, everywhere!&quot[/quote]I think the &quotquote&quot is an interpretation of the dog’s body language and haunted appearance, since no other dogs in FL show any sign of uncommon intelligence.

The Hungover Terrier seems to be able to talk, at least when he’s not hungover.
