I absentmindedly stroked it, a rather morbid gesture, but I didn’t dare examine the creature itself too much in fear of harming it. The leg itself was a strange thing, it was hard and chitinous, but it had a covering of very short felt-like hairs, as well as several perforations or holes that went straight through them. The inside of the holes were as smooth as the outside, and the underside of the foot, or hoof was softer than the rest.
