Winged Hairies and Inspiration

So, I firmly believe that inspiration can come from anywhere and the more open we are to novelty and allowing inspiration to come to us, the more we will be inspired. This being said, years ago, when I was in the very early stages of FAL and coming up with the creatures who would eventually find their way into the Tome of Awesome, my wife sat down and had a brief drawing session alongside me. In the span of that session, she drew the very first iteration of the winged hairies which eventually made it into the books and lore of FAL. I loved the name she gave them and it felt like those creatures were so meant to be part of the weirdness of FAL. So they went into the book and we devised the lore around the image. She is also responsible for the nubyeb, ootoom, and cat tenderers.
