Looks like my next folktale collection is going to be about misunderstood animals 🥰😊 What are your favorite misunderstood, misrepresented, or underappreciated animals?
take any random Hungarian folk tale about a prince or guy, where the fox or the horse tells them every step what to do and solves their problems. Those animals are the true heroes. (I know these have hidden meanings, bit still didn't wrap my head around these cases)
Spiders and bats. Most of them are completely harmless to humans, but nearly everyone fears them, despite their usefulness in keeping insect populations (mosquitoes!) in check.

Beavers are misunderstood. They save forest stands and seem to hate the sound of running water.
