        In "behavior" it told me hexbears are solitary creatures, known for their calm and gentle nature

        And in "defense mechanism" it says they can emit a hexagonal pattern of light to disorient potential threats

        Beyond making up shit it also immediately contradicts itself: the main answer says it's a mythical creature, but on the side it also lists them as "not currently endangered".

          Creatures that don’t exist aren’t technically endangered, and endangered status is a pretty common inclusion when asking for information about a species

            Eh. Mythical creatures aren't species. You don't list their endangered status. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicorn

      This is interesting. On the one hand, it figured out that "hex" stands for "hexa" as in 6, but it also seems to interpret "hex" as a word for magic, hence the "enchanted forest" stuff.
