I love that psychic powers are still "allowed" in science fiction. They're an acceptable part of the aesthetic. Like you can't have magic, but you can have brain magic, because it's more Science.

This rare creature is known as the lesser long-nosed store jar. It can sniff out any manner of small treats to swallow and hold within its belly.

Some fantasy ttrpg worldbuildy concept stuff! Made for PF2e but lets be real, you could slap these unusual bunnies into any system.

Halfling Rabbits These large lagomorphs (neither half-sized nor true rabbits) are often kept by Halflings and Dwarves for meat, wool, and fertilizing droppings. They come in many varieties and at their smallest adult sizes are the size of Flemish Giant rabbits, though they're quite sturdy and agreeable compared to true rabbits. Racing-breed Halfling Rabbits are considered lucky when they have a silver-grey coat with a slight metallic sheen to it, since it implies a closeness to...

Silverhare Large, lanky lagomorphs known for their speed, metallic silvery coat, and natural magic. Silverhare are uncannily adept at escaping hunters and traps, earning a trickster reputation and serving as a symbol of freedom, cleverness, and survival. Silverhare have a few natural magical tricks they can pull, and when cornered will rear up on their hind legs and box fiercely with their clawed forepaws. Strangely even if a population seems established somewhere, excessive causes the entire group to vanish- there are rumors that they have some ability to burrow to other planes. Their hide, bones, and paws are all used to craft magical items. Depending on one's culture, hunting a Silverhare is always considered and impressive feat- but may be a taboo that invites chaos thanks to their connection with...

The Silver Hare Filling a role often reserved for foxes and coyotes, the Silver Hare is a trickster, an agent of fortune and chaos. Playful and irreverent when pleased, cocky and cruel when wronged, the Silver Hare outwits and torments hunters, predators, and competitors alike. They are associated with traps, both escaping and creating them, and seen as a master of disguise or even an outright shapeshifter - sometimes going so far as to seduce mortals in order to fool and punish them. Their alternate forms often still have rabbit-like teeth and wear hats to hide their tall, pointed ears. Is this just a fantasy version of Bugs Bunny? Yes. You're welcome. I will never apologize.

Do NOT trust rabbits walking on their hind legs and talking. Makes for a fun bit of mythology.

The densest people on the internet are the ones who say sci fi and fantasy are getting too political. Why can’t we go back to the good old days of The Twilight Zone, with its various episodes about mob mentality and the danger of mass paranoia that totally weren’t about the Red Scare. Or Star Wars and its genocidal empire of racially homogeneous Aryan men. Or Dune with its religious tribal peoples who live in a desert that contains the galaxy’s most valuable resource and the wars with the foreign colonizers, that was purely from Frank Herbert’s imagination. Can you imagine how much Star Trek would suck if it was packed to the brim with ham-fisted allegories of every societal issue of the 20th century. Not like all this modern ultra-political stuff, like a woman hero.
