RATCHET OWL: A sort of sensitive scamp that shields its sight from shining sunlight by slowly spinning it skull in sync with the shimmering sun. The owl's outlook is ordinarily obverse of the orb. At midnight, it moves its melon to its median and maneuvers in any mundane manner. In the morning, it motions in the methodical means mentioned. Ⓦ

BIG-TAILED LYNX: A large lynx with a lengthy lure, or linear lesser limb, like a lion’s, a lot lot longer. Ⓦ

COWASKIE: This creature was the casual concoction of curious cultivators. The cowaskie is the crossbred combination of a crazy Coho with the wonderfully weird Walleye of Wisconsin waters. Moreover, the mighty Muskellunge was melded into the mix for marvelous measure. The result was a rowdy, red-ribboned rascal that ran in reverse. Subsequently, these synthesized suckers swam straight to shore than to the sea. Ⓦ

WHIFFLE-WHIFFLE BIRD: A tenacious talker that transcends the tops of the timberline. It has a terribly tall tail, a protrusion that parallels a peacocks perhaps perfectly. The rest resembles the roadrunner. Regardless, it is rightly regarded as rare. Seldom is it seen, it is seen sliding on slopes for it whoops “Whickle, whickle,” while whisking on the warped walls. One well wonders what this wonderful word purports. It is presumed by people, possessing a powerful perception, that it portends to profess pain. For as the feathered fellow falls forth, from the fine-grained folds, fragments of feldspar are forced forward. Consequently, chafing and cramping is common, as it coasts the crags and cracks. Ⓦ

MAN-EATER OF THE IDAHO MINES: A merciless miscreation that makes mayhem in the mines. The creature callously captures colliers that cross into the confines of its cave. Skeletons of sufferers are strewn in any spot and seldom does someone slip from the slaughter of this short-footed, stout, shrieking savage. This giant is gray, grisly and groundhog-like. Ghastly to the gaze, the gruesome gargantua's gullet totes tusks of tremendous toughness and tapering teeth for tearing. The thing is the talk of towns and terror of those who toil in the twilight of the trenches. Ⓦ

PRICURICU: An infinitesimal insect interestingly invisible to individuals or a bird beheld by beasts but not by bystanders, or a bitty, bewildering bug-bird between both. Hounds that are habitually heard howling and hollering at nothing in the night are not nuts. It is not nobody that nears. It is this nix that knowingly knocks. Doubtlessly, the dogs detect the disturbance directed by these deceivers of discernment. Ⓦ

FLAMBEAU AMBLER: A favorite of fishermen, this fantastic fish is to be found in the Flambeau River. The rascal resembles a regular, run-of-the-mill river resident, really not remarkable in representation. It is the taste of the timid tot that tingles the tongue and tantalizes the taste-buds. If fried, the fish’s flavor favors fried fowl. If churned and coddled, as a crab is cooked, its culinary characteristics coincided with a crustacean. If scorched or seared it has the same savory suggestion as swine. If broiled or barbecued it becomes the best brand of beef. Ⓦ
x
SANDHILL PERCH: A piscatorial peculiarity that is prone to paddling to the posterior. Basically, the beast is backward bound. It bides in barren wastelands without water. Why? One well wonders. Its strange swimming strives is to shed sand from its seers. It is likely to be legged or, leastwise, linked to little ligaments. Ⓦ
