I don't think there's any precedent for taxidermy involvement in crime, especially not that. I know someone charged with assault for beating someone else up with a taxidermy beaver but nothing magical about it, just something nearby to grab in a fight. Can I ask what you'd consider a Troubled? Some of that sounds familiar but we don't have a term like that and I'm just wondering if I'm thinking right.
I'm guessing most don't know about the Troubled then? If you're coming up with official explanations.
