The style is very "Charlie the Unicorn" coded, I like it.. Although I don't know if unicorns can vomit or not, so not sure if applicable.

Rats can't either. Thats why when faced with a new potential food they'll nibble it and wait a while to see how it effects them. This how rats learn to avoid poison 💀

And then horses are the opposite where they will just shovel the food down and let fate do the rest.

This is actually why horses did not develop a society as humanity.

See, nowadays, the horse is superior to the human in every possible way but the intellect, but every time a horse capable of understanding what humanity does and did, they have to puke and instantly die. So basically our society has only survived this long against a horse takeover because they are physically unable to puke.

That's the ONLY reason why there's no horses in any Guy Fieri TV show or restaurant.
