I have a question about that last rule. Sarnothi are *not* human. They are predators. Have they adapted to cooked food? Are they vulnerable to prions? It’s valid as it sets up a fundamental difference in biology…
Everything is vulnerable to prions, or other food-borne diseases. Animals in nature get sick all the time, we just don’t consider it a very big deal when they do, whereas we do consider it a big deal when people get sick.
That said, I somehow doubt they’re in the habit of cooking their food underwater.
In before Selkie runs up on a deer or moose and ends up unaliving it without a license.
If she kills a moose with her bare hands, she deserves the meat.
Don’t keel moose and squirrel, dollink.
I love this one! It really gives a feel for how far they’ve come since the beginning of the comic.
I went down a rabbit hole for prions and they’re horrifying.

yeah, i have the same question.
could just be “in case”?

I would think they are, given their ‘traditional’ diet is not mammalian in general (unless they hunt whales and dolphins in the wide ocean)
