In both JTU's stories, and in some of mine, a "scuti" is a type of creature that, while looking exactly like a tail, attaches itself to the base of a host's spine, and gradually takes them over. The relationship is symbiotic, as the host gains a number of benefits, inclusive of some euphoric feelings from elements secreted by the scuti, and well as the benefits of the scuti's intelligence. Getting detached from a scuti that one had been hosting can lead to sadness and feelings of depression and separation. They are not, in and of themselves, elves. Allegedly, the first scuti was created when Irenaeus lost his tail in battle, but there was sufficient magicks to make the tail sentient. A scuti's mouth looks like a lamprey, in that there's a ring of sharp teeth and some frankly icky drool. They also have vestigal arms.

In one story, the Vulpitanians created (with the assistance of Elfhamian craftsfurs) a type of automaton called "Tikki-Tick" that would serve as a host for a scuti, which would then be operated by the scuti itself.

Is this long-time-no-see fan favourite Alice Chetsweeks, or does another scuti-driven automation share the same design? I mean, from an economic perspective, it’d make sense to reuse the design. Then again, Vulpitanians would probably regard that as not sneaky enough.

Ah, but if you were expecting them to change the design, it would be extra sneaky to fool you by re-using the same one!

Ah, those cunning Vulpitanians, I can't keep up!
