Medieval Moment: Beastiaries were a medieval style of writing where talking animals would discuss the matters of the day and usually deliver a moral or two while they were at it. There are surviving examples that cover a range of topics, from the virtues of taking laxatives to how not to be an awful neighbour. While commonly used for allegorical teachings, there doesn’t seem to have been a limit on what animals could and couldn’t discuss in regards to human nature.

There is also marginalia (i.e. drawings in the margins) of rabbits murdering people. So, you know, not always Lawful Good, you know?
