Random thought for today:
Hoofed animals have hoof capsules (aka fairy slippers) when they are born, which protects the mother from taking damage from her baby's hard and sharp feet during already risky pregnancy and travel through tight birth canal. Slippers are either quickly shed or worn down, but at their finest look like that:
Meanwhile, horns are usually managed via not growing until teenager or later, because mating display and/or fighting tool is hardly good reason for letting something even more bothersome than hooves stay so long so close to delicate tissues.
Makes me wonder how supernatural species fare with their biology.
Mommy centaur bitching at her hubby that his (still not 100% onto what even is walking) son leaves pieces of slippers everywhere, and she just got her stallion to neatly manage all his hair instead of leaving it in most inconvenient places
Dragon sharpening its claws on a slab of granite, and humans freaking out because huge f*cking lizard just destroyed their peace monument
Mers spending hours gossiping at cleaner shrimps colony, falling silent when little dudes swim into their mouths to nom on food remains stuck between sharp, sharp teeth (webbed hands are no good at this and fish bone picks can only do so much)
Satyrs/goaty demons fighting over a female via mashup of roughhousing and slamming their horns against each other
-in a later scene said female freaks out when she sees her baby has weird, almost tentacly abominations on its feet and another one covering its whole scalp (hiding stubby horns)
-for a better comedy outcome she's some other weird species (hormones during mating season are crazy), like beforementioned harpy or lamia, and the winner demon freaks out when his kid's misshapen mouth falls off (egg tooth)
-because neither of them figured out it's a good idea to talk about baby stage of each species
