I wonder why one of the hind legs is missing a dew claw when they made sure to add it to every other foot?

I'm sure it made for a good story once upon a time

Not sure that's meant to be a dew claw. The other ones are curved opposite the other claws, and the one on the hind leg isn't

Maybe it's a drawing of a demon from a high-fantasy story telling session.

We make stories up all the time, why wouldn't local folklore start with early hominids?
