Does megafauna exist on Not-Earth?
EDIT: I just checked the map, and noticed there's a four? story building located at The Impact (and judging by the flavor text, there's more than one). Is the structure made by not-cats that roamed the land hundreds or even thousands of years ago, or is its origin unrelated to not-cats?
@Silverwing Yes, lots of Very Big Creatures
As for the impact, nobody's been able to get close enough to find out. The magnetic force of the area prevents not-cats from entering. Null cats can get
slightly further in than the others (think a quarter of a mile), but we're going to have to think of some..... other kind of technology if we want to learn more about this area.

I was curious to know if the not-cats had any stories or fables passed down from generation to generation, perhaps regarding natural events :o
also are there not-lunar eclipses and other not-astronomical events
@magpie Oh yes, very much so! The not-cats love oral storytelling. They are particularly fond of inserting themselves and Nestor into human historical events. They also have dozens upon dozens of stories about the first 4 cats! They've unfortunately lost most of the knowledge their ancestors had about Not-Earth, but as they explore they might be able to uncover some of those old stories.
They've been making do by making things up about their new surroundings since. For example, on the world map we have stories mentioned such as:
- The magical cats made of clouds that live at the top of cloudnap mountains
- The dragon kitties that live in dragonbreath isle, where they curl up in little pools of lava and the smoke coming out of the mountains is the purring of litters of beans
Everyone has also come up with their own theories on the Impact, but because the folklore is so fragmented, you can find 100 stories and none of the consistent. Built by not-cats? Aliens? Monsters? A bunch of giant moose??????
Not-lunar eclipses are even more common than on Earth because there are multiple moons to cross over the path. And every once in a while there is a very pretty meteor shower where lots of little bits of rock and dust fall down to the planet. This is especially common in the winter months. The not-cats have noticed that there are a lot more particles and rocks and stuff circulating Not-Earth than Earth and occasionally it collides with the planet. Not sure what that's about really.

Jumping off this, we know they have legends of the first north, south, and trade wind cats via the scenarios, but do they have legends of the first null wind cat?
@Wolf Yes, this is actually the hidden third option in the scenario
