With the increase in interest in radio collars and bird bands, I would like to bring to light one creator who makes such a thing that are wearable for nonhuman identifying people. : Bird Brain Leatherwork. Additionally, the business is independent and queer owned, run by a single artist and leatherworker. Her items are handmade, and by their appearance, look sturdy and well made.

These items are made with the BDSM/kink, petplay, furry, and therian communities in mind. She makes a variety of leather items such as collars and cuffs (as well as other items such as patches and LARP gear), but the following are items which specifically fit the topic of radio collars and bird bands.

Tracker Wild Critter Collar A collar designed to give the appearance of a wildlife monitoring collar. Customizable and able to include species and ID numbers. Also includes a pocket for a GPS tracker, so your handler or researcher can keep track of you.

The Bird Band Wild Critter Cuff Reminiscent of wildlife birdbands used for ecological research and monitoring. (Or bands used on "domesticated"/pet bird species as well.) Much like the Tracker collar, the Bird Band cuff also includes a pocket for a GPS tracker.

The Falconer Wild Bird Anklets These cuffs are meant to resemble the anklets placed on falconry birds, with a large eyelet for proper jess (or other rope) connections.

Ear Tag Wild Critter Tag An ear tag like those used in ecological research or ranch identification, able to be customized with your own words and symbols. Also includes a pocket for a GPS tracker, and different mounting options for small ears or fursuits. (There are other creators who have made similar Ear Tag style gear using lighter materials that may be easier to wear, if wearing the tag in the physical ear is important to the individual.)

The Lost Spells

Go now, Selkie-boy, swim from the shore, Rinse your ears clean of human chatter, Empty your bones of heather and moor, Your skull of its human matter.

Selkie-boy, Selkie-boy, come join your kin, Eager your kind are to meet you, As salt sets its seal on your silky skin, Let green sea rise up to greet you.

Hear us and hasten, O sweet Selkie-boy, High are our voices lifted in song, Offering welcome, keening our joy, Drawing you down to where you belong.

If no marten is here, I choose the squirrel potion (though squirrels are prey, confusing yes, but it would be interesting to see the world from their POV, and we're both arboreal, so a big plus!)

The second close option would be the otter one (a fellow mustelid! but water isn't my element and here it is important)

And these little logos on their bottles! Nice detail!

What potion would you choose from this series?

"Biological and physical therians are crazy and delusional ! They harm the community !1!1!!"

First of all : fuck you.

Second of all : disabled ("crazy and delusional") therians are valid and are an important part of this community.

Third : Biological and physical therians built this community. You should be grateful and not hateful.

[Commissioned by @wannabedemonlord, from the Iberian creature collection. The mythological version is a hybrid of a cat and a marten, which blinds and kills its marten mother upon being born. My version has a little of this flavor, but makes them its own creature. They’re also less explicitly misogynistic than the original, which is said to help men and attack women on sight.]

Monuca CR 4 CE Magical Beast This creature resembles a cross between a cat and a weasel, but is larger than both. It is garishly colored, with a white head, purple tail, and bands of red, blue and black along its body. Its eyes glitter like gemstones.

A monuca is a cruel and fickle creature that manipulates the strands of fate in order to aid its hunting and grant itself sick amusement. Although they are intelligent creatures, they enjoying playing at being dumb beasts in order to lull humanoids into a false sense of security, or even to allow itself to be taken in as a pet. For days at a time, they will subtlety alter the fortunes of a chosen individual to build their hope and confidence, only to steal it away cruelly at an inopportune moment. They enjoy blinding creatures with their claws, leaving them disfigured but alive to contemplate their misfortune.

In combat, a monuca typically takes a moment to grant itself the favor of fortune before pouncing. Vain and obsessed with their own beauty, monucas will often attack the enemy with the finest clothes, the prettiest eyes or some other striking feature before turning to other targets. A monuca can simultaneously hex foes with ill luck while fighting in melee, and frequently does so. Their claws are dagger-keen, and can tear the eyes from an enemy on a lucky strike. They are creatures with a high self-regard, and so flee from fights they cannot win, vowing revenge as they do so.

Monucas are solitary hunters, and rarely associate with each other except to mate. Children are always born twins, and are born without eyes. In the one selfless act a mother monuca ever makes, she allows her children to tear her eyes out and put them in their own skulls, which grants them sight and gives them time to grow their second eye. The mother monuca will regrow her eyes in time, but she is vulnerable in this state and typically spends her month or so of blindness tucked away in a remote cave.

A monuca grows to four feet long, half of which is their tail. They typically live fifty years or so.
