| The Book of the Named | comment |
The Book of the Named is a series of Young Adult novels by Clare Bell, told from the point of view of a sentient species of prehistoric cat-like mammal called a nimravid. The story primarily focuses on one nimravid named Ratha and her people, who call themselves the Named and practice a simple version of herding with prey beasts.Ratha defies tradition and becomes a herder, nearly unheard of for female Named. Herders not only keep the animals safe from predators and slaughter them for the tribe, they also defend them from the Un-Named, nimravids who look like the Named but are non-sentient. It is in this role that she discovers her "creature," fire, which she names the Red Tongue. She also discovers that some of the Un-Named are capable of speech, just like the Named. Her discoveries will change the dynamics of the Clan forever.The series deals with the social and political conflicts between Ratha, her people, her daughter and mate, and the Un-Named.The first book in the series was adapted into an episode of CBS Storybreak.The books in the series are: Ratha's Creature (1983) Clan Ground (1984) Ratha and Thistle-Chaser (1990) Ratha's Challenge (1991) Ratha's Courage (2008) Bonechewer's Legacy (a published short story, 2009) Ratha's Island (a Twitter novelette, 2009) | |

Only Sane Man: Thakur — barring his terror of the Red Tongue in the first book — is the most level-headed and philosophical of the Named, expressing concern that the clan's use of the Red Tongue is corrupting them, and frequently advising Ratha to reconsider her prejudices and consider alternatives to burning everything she doesn't like. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness: The above-mentioned Arranged Marriage and Ratha's parents are never mentioned again after the first book. The former may be justified by Ratha abolishing the law after she became leader, the latter by the Named not caring about familial bonds outside of mating season. The first book also has the most sexual content in the series. | |

Call a Rabbit a "Smeerp" | |
| The Book of the Named / int_5ac34441 | comment |
Call a Rabbit a "Smeerp": The Named and Un-Named were originally based on Nimravus before being retconned to a sentient species of Dinaelurus — a cat-like carnivorous mammal reminiscent of cheetahs. The three-horns the Named have tamed are based on Synthetoceras. The bristlemanes/belly-biters were originally intended to be prehistoric hyenas, later retconned to being amphicyonids or creodonts. The treelings are a species of lemur related to Notharctus. The seamares are a species of Paleoparadoxia, a hippo-like relative of dugongs and manatees, the "barking raiders" are a species of prehistoric sea-lion called Enaliarctos, while the "blubber-tusker" is a short-tusked walrus. While the books call the face-tails "mammoths", the author retconned them to being Deinotherium or a species of mastodon. The "rumblers" are a species of long-necked hornless rhinoceros called indricotheres. | |

Panthera Awesome: The main characters are Dinaelurus illumina sapiens, a fictional species of nimravid — a family of cat-like mammal closely related to true felines and possessing traits of cheetahs, lions, leopards, and cougars. Shongshar has some traits resembling Smilodon, possessing enormous fangs and longer forelegs, though Claire Bell states he could be a hybrid between a saber-fanged Nimravus and Dinaelurus. | |

Head Pet: The treelings' favorite places to hang out are the backs and heads of the Named. Justified since they've formed a symbiotic relationship with the Named: they provide grooming and perform simple tasks for the Named, while the Named protect them from predators. Riding on their partner gives them maximum protection as well as making them available to their partner whenever needed. | |

Sliding Scale of Anthropomorphism | |
| The Book of the Named / int_91183950 | comment |
Sliding Scale of Anthropomorphism: The Named begin the series as Partially Civilized Animals - they talk, herd animals, and live in a clan with laws, but that's about it. As the series progresses and the clan makes more technological advances under Ratha, they progress toward fully Civilized Animals, able to build simple structures such as animal pens, use the treelings' opposable thumbs to make things such as nets and saddlebags, and use a pair of tame Paraceratherium for demolition and very heavy lifting. | |

Animated Adaptation: The first book was adapted for an episode of CBS Storybreak. According to her website, Clare Bell was pleased with it, especially the scene where Ratha tames her "creature," taken almost verbatim from the book. She uploaded it herself here. Strangely, it changes the setting from nimravids on prehistoric Earth to "intelligent mountain lions on another planet". Alan Oppenheimer voices Meoran, even. | |

What the Hell, Hero?: Ratha gets this from Thakur a lot. Although when he's invariably proved right, he's nicer about it than she is. | |

Morality Pet: Ratha becomes a lot less self-righteous and narrow-minded after Thistle shows up. Thakur also serves as this to Ratha, pushing her to seek alternatives to violence. | |
