excitedAsk me a question. Ask me a big question. Like when I posted about the rules governing fae marriage. The ones that require serious thought, and a genuine desire to know.
What can cuckoos really do? What was the straw that broke the camel's back for Alexander and Enid? How do cryptid communities conceal themselves in human cities? Questions too big, and too complicated, to answer in the FAQ. Now, because I apparently wasn't clear enough the first time, I WILL NOT GIVE SPOILERS. Please don't ask me where someone is, or whether someone else is coming back, or whether I'll post a full calendar of Aeslin holidays (because I never, ever will). Ask me about laws and rules and universe, about etiquette and speciation and trends in fashion.
The ten best questions will get full blog posts about them, explaining whatever facet or facets of the InCryptid world they touch on. I get to determine "best," although you're all welcome to weigh in or ask secondary questions.
I have comment amnesty for any questions I do not choose to answer during this particular publication lead-in, because I want my brain to not dribble out of my ears.
Game on!

To me, this isn't as simple a matter as a creature using a "bluff", like expanding parts of its existing structure in a form of self-defense (i.e. a pufferfish), or just mimicking anatomic placement of features to distract an enemy (i.e. "eye" spots on the wings of butterflies), though maybe that's how it started out? These beings can literally change skeletal and muscular structure to become something entirely new, a different physical form, and I'm wondering if this is some form of scientific evolution that the Healy-Price family is learning more about, or if it's still one vague mystery (perhaps with esoteric or magical origins) that isn't polite to ask a sentient species about?
