heck, you just made me realize I haven't seen any Freeholders hereabouts in months

I love how it's nuanced depending on the type of creature.
Having a beak -> you look more similar to birds, they like you
Wearing croccasins -> you appear to have reptile feet, they like you
Wearing a cloak of ape fur -> you killed an ape, they hate you
Don't forget "Wearing the Severed Face Of A ____ Faction Member Over Your Face" which makes the ____ faction hate you, for some reason.
One of the world's great mysteries.

Baboons in Caves of Qud when you put the ring that's made for your neck around your arm instead: "Heck yeah! You hecking it!"
