Slithy Tove

Slithy Toves are a species of magical creature native to Wonderland.

Appearance
Slithy toves possess a rather...strange combination of features. Firstly, they possess scaly skin, like a lizard, but the scales possess a black-and-white pattern, reminiscent of a badger. They also possess burrowing claws, like a badger, and dark eyes, akin to both lizards and badgers. They also possess badger ears on their heads, and small fangs in their mouths. However, most striking of all, they possess long snouts and long tails, which possess a corkscrew-like spiral through it. These snouts and tails they possess help them with creating their burrows.

Behavior
Slithy toves are burrowing creatures, that tend to build their burrows underneath sundials. When they aren't making nests, they can usually be seen diving through the earth, boring holes and spinning around like gyroscopes. Slithy toves are omnivorous by nature, eating anything they can find, usually bread-and-butterflies and rocking horseflies. However, the one food they cannot resist is cheese. If you want to gain the trust of a slithy tove, just feed it some cheese, and you will gain a loyal friend. Slithy toves are usually solitary, at least, until mating season. Like mundane badgers, they tend to mate for life, and the average clutch of eggs is between 1 to 5.
