#But in my head if you filtered Bone Babble you wouldn't see me talking about myself

You mentioned in the rogue of rot story that kits are warned against following strange voices, especially if they sound like babble- are there any creatures in their folklore or creatures that are living that could mimic voices like that? Demons come to mind but I wasn’t sure if there was anything else

I love things like this, these stories and legends are all so well thought out and put together

Humans, though I think that's obvious. A very intelligent fox can also string together a few of the phonetics in Clanmew. "Aaa," "ka'ak," "yyee." But the more active danger, which the Rogue of Rot story is REALLY told to warn for, is ravens.

In BB, the kittens have a LOT more freedom. They're not allowed to wander very far and they're almost always attended, but there are times were a kitten can be alone or in a group just consisting of their own age.

Ravens ARE smart enough to try and lure a kitten away from a group or safe area, and quite frankly if I didn't have the no OCs rule, I would add kits who die in various ways like this.

Clan cats consider ravens to be a type of raptor. The term "Yassga" describes ALL large birds that are capable of attacking a cat. Even adult warriors are wary of ravens, intelligent, social birds with powerful beaks.

There's harmless animals that can mimic voices too! Starlings, for example. There's also multiple words in Clanmew for types of mimicry though, and a starling doesn't "Babble" (evil mimic)

To Babble is to speak in the words Bumble cursed outsiders with, to talk unintelligibly or say blasphemy. To make words without sense.
