The Reciprocating Fox is a rather confused creature from Lancre whose front and back legs tend to move in opposite directions. If both sets of legs are moving equally quickly, the creature will expend large amounts of energy in going nowhere at all. Shawn Ogg once cited it as an example to follow, in possibly one of the most confusing and uninspiring Before-The-Battle speeches any leader has ever delivered to his Army. First mentioned in Lords and Ladies, a possibly related creature (at least in terms of mobility) is unveiled in The World of Poo as resident in the Patrician's Palace menagerie. This is named as the Reciprocating Ocelot.
