I is for Ichneumon.  Because them cockatrices aren't going to hunt themselves, you know.

According to medieval bestiaries, the ichneumon or Egyptian mongoose was one of the few creatures that were immune to being stoned by a cockatrice's deadly gaze.  However, they didn't usually wear hats or carry firearms.

Also, look!  Liberties probably taken with the mongoose and wild ones definitely taken for the rifle.  You just try finding references for mongoose-sized hunting rifles at the drop of a hat.

Brings to mind the tales of Moyomongoose, set in a parallel reality where furries exist in place of humans. History has,however,been the same.Mongooses, fossas, genets, meercats, rats...

Some stories deal with Zander Iscelburg, a doctor rat who, despite a proper upbringing by his billionaire family, has been a total disgrace & bane to them. A twist or gap in his brain.

Moyomongoose goes into detail about the cars, trains, and other vehicles ; make, year of make, condition and ,if they break down, exactly why. Has provided maps, pics worthy of Currier & Yves to show town cars, waggons, etc. Homes (Iscelbergs live in huge stately manors, while poor people may have to sleep on the dirt floor, and, while the Iscelbergs ride around in Dusenberg limosines, walking is the way many poor people get around. (It comes as NO surprise that the Iscelbergs, who live in Egypt, came to their country home in Angola,only to find the mansion looted & burned to the ground by resentful poor people. The Iscelburgs ,so rich that a million dollars was pocket change to them, decided to write off the loss and stay at a hotel. (Ugh. Hotels are for middle-class !).
Really,there is so much detail that you'd have to read the stories to get the full gist. I do NOT ,however, feel the sex scenes are needed and they do NOT advance the story line.

There was also the Angola civil war which caused much hardship, destruction and even a great exodus. Just about every family has had casualties from the warfare.

Interesting indeed. Like you, Moyomongoose is one of my Watchers here, although it seems this picture didn't strike him enough to Favorite. Which is fine, of course. Sometimes, we don't know what will strike our fancy enough to be worth more than an interested look.

Stork-summoning scenes can be tough to balance, it seems. At a guess, it could be that they're often necessary to help the author keep his or her own interest in the story as it's written. (Whether said scenes stay there during the editing process is another matter. I've read a couple published stories in which the scenes could have been cut out with no damage to the story, but those were stories that presumably had an editor look at them, something very few of us here can do.)

Actually, I think I do Moyomongoose an injustice. If one of the goals of writing is to illuminate the human condition, then that includes stork summoning. Moyomongoose and those other writers felt that the scenes added something to their writing. Any discomfort on my part is no fault of theirs.
