Teakettler

The Teakettler (Latin, Urocyon iugulebesonia) is a creature which owes its origins to the oral traditions of turn-of-the-century lumberjack culture.

Description
Appearing somewhat similar to a small, short-legged dog but with the ears of a cat, the Teakettler is said to inhabit the more densely-forested areas of Wisconsin and Minnesota. It will only ever walk in reverse, and gains its name from the noise that it makes whilst emitting steam from its mouth: a high-pitched whistle akin to the noise of a pressure kettle when boiling.

As these elusive creatures are so shy, very few have had the good fortune of laying their eyes on a Teakettler, but if one hears the sound of a kettle on the boil when out in the forest, it is a good sign that there is one going about its business somewhere nearby.
