backstory of how you found them: Oftentimes, the thing you're looking for is not at all what you find, and you realize that you were looking for it all along. I had set off into the woods in what was going to be yet another fruitless search for some scientific evidence of these creatures. I had seen one, I had even touched one, but there was no substantial evidence to prove to the scientific world that foxleps existed! I'd heard the whispers of these creatures since I was a child, encounters with them that nobody believed. And then I saw one myself. Now I was armed with a camera, a notebook, and some pencils. I was ready to find this creature, and darn it, I was going to!
After hours of searching, night had fallen, and I was ready to call it quits. Suddenly, a pair of eyes was gleaming at me from the surrounding greenery, so bright you couldn't miss them. I crept backwards, hands fumbling for my pocket knife. I had assumed it was a bear, or a coyote, or some other dangerous wild animal. I finally grabbed it from my pocket and flicked out the blade, and saw the eyes narrow. I readied myself to sprint up a tree, but they suddenly relaxed, and the thing crept out of the bushes, head lowered. It was tiny, barely a kit, and with the fluffiestfur I'd ever see on a creature. Its ears were comically big, with a tail larger than itself. I slowly put my knife on the forest floor, and the little thing saw this as an invitation to run up and jump into my lap. I smiled as I stroked the trusting kit's gray fur. I'd finally found one.
