If I had a nickel for every time I've been mistaken for one of these, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it is weird it happened twice.

Other things I've been mistaken for:

- Red panda
- Ringtailed lemur
- Kinkajou
- Mongoose
- Tree kangaroo
- Winged serpent god
- Telepathic plant from the Marvel Comics universe
- Polymorphic D&D winged serpent

You get some wild misunderstandings when you're a text-based character and people only skim descriptions.

@Austin_Dern you're going to have to explain the telepathic plant and polymorphic winged serpent
-F

@Felthry The telepathic plant is a Cotati, something from the Kree planet in the Marvel comics universe: marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Cotati

The polymorphic winged serpent is the Couatl, a lawful-good celestial creature: dndbeyond.com/monsters/couatl

@Felthry Now, me, I would be interested in trying out photosynthesizing. Seems like a great direction to go.

Not really sure I'm a celestial serpent type, but I am aware a lot of people really like the way my tail slinks around, so I understand their wanting me to do more of that. And I get people who want me to wrap the up in vast, inescapable wings. Seems cozy.
