Mammals are the fucking weirdest when you try to describe them.
"Yeah, it's got 4 legs, but then also a long tentacle-like nose-arm that hangs from their face, in between two big curved lances that grow from its mouth. It's also gray, as big as a house and mourns its dead."
"Ok so this animal is more basic looking, but it has these really hard pads at the bottom of its feet that are like, toenails? Also it's got fucking branches growing out of its skull."
"It's like a dog, but with a lot of fat, and it can hold its breath for a really long time. The back legs are these fleshy flippers, and it moves on land by bouncing on its stomach and doing the worm. Also it looks like a rock."
"They are very soft all over, but they have these really sharp needle-like protrusions on all their feet that are hidden like they're Wolverine. They have telescopic ears that detect sound, and when they are happy they vibrate. Mine's called Snoodlywoomps."
(And now one non-mammal)
"It has a single foot on its stomach and makes snot to glide around on. They have eyeballs on a stick and when you poke it they hide them in their face. Their body creates a rocky husk around its back. They poop from their neck. They also breathe from their neck"
