Description The skvader. Latin: Tetrao lepus pseudo-hybridus rarissimus L.
In 1918, a Swedish taxidermis started a practical joke that would echo through the urban legends and long-term chuckles of the country. Constructing a mutant animal by the parts of a mountain hare and a wood grouse, he claimed it to be an entirely new species that he had shot while hunting - the skvader.

While people quickly saw through his guise, I like to think that there is something to it... and somewhere out there, on the Swedish countryside, there's an entire army of winged bunnies laughing at our naivety...

That reminds me of the Jackalope that we have here in the United States.

Β GLEE


I agree - seriously, what are the odds? I *never* thought I'd run into someone else with a skvader avatar, that's for sure 8DΒ

Oh, the Skvaders weren't my invention. The 'real life' skvader is actually a stuffed animal, now stored in a swedish museum - I guess you can call the entire species a swedish inside joke, at least in certain circles.


I love the critters, though. As far as fantasy species go, the skvaders are severely underrated. Dragons begone, arise, flying bunnies of vengence!

I know, but the idea itself is cool.
