I suppose some form of quintessence could be responsible for the intelligence of these creatures, though it would be hard to confirm for certain without a way to detect it. The ones I have seen so far have been very smart.

Would you also be interested in trying to learn? [He asked this to his Poochyena, who made another sound] Sounds like that might have been agreement.
