When I was teaching preschool a few months ago, one of my kids showed up every day as a different creature that he would describe to us in meticulous detail. One of the most common Creatures he came to school as was a “dori,” which we drew together here on a whiteboard:
Some facts about dories:
- look like tailless white bipedal cats
- not cats
- not animals
- not people
- not born OR hatched from eggs
- do not have souls
- cannot be mind controlled
- come in two varieties: aggressive and non-aggressive
- eat meat
I really think creating a Creatureᵀᴹ to pretend to be is a universal Weird Kid experience.
